Hello from Orlando

[adam clarke]

Thought I would drop by and introduce myself. My name is Adam and have just started learning how to smoke meats. I have a offset smoker that I am still trying to get a grasp on getting enough heat from the fire box to the cooking chamber. I have used only charcoal so far and been unsuccessful at getting the temp up to a level. It has been a learning experience so far.

Hi Adam and welcome aboard!  These forums are a great place for sharing ideas on smoking, grilling, curing, etc.  There are plenty of friendly, knowledgeable folks who really enjoy helping one another.  

Browse around over in the charcoal/woodburning smoker forums for some other members who have similar smokers to yours for some good tips on improving your temp control.
