    New smoker from the Pacific Northwest

    New smoker from the Pacific Northwest

    I've made a couple of mods already, mostly the basic and easy ones. Made a baffle and sealed the smoker box where it connects to the smoker with food grade high heat silicon to reduce smoke loss. So far i'm actually pretty happy with the bbq-smoker combo. If practice makes perfect, I hope I...

    New smoker from the Pacific Northwest

    The bark was great. Nice and crunchy even after leaving it wrapped in foil in the cooler for almost six hours. It was still too hot to handle! Pulled (mostly) and ready to eat. It was delicious. It was worth every minute of staying up for 24+ hours, even though it only took 10 minutes to...

    Burls vs chunks (fruitwood for smoking meat)

    I am pretty new to smoking meat, and so far i'm loving it. I found a good deal on chunks of fruitwood from a local guy (good deal compared to the local hardware store anyways) and he had both chunks and burls to offer. He told me that the burls are "what the pros die for" becuase they have have...
