    First attempt at snack sticks

    Look good to me! Meat mixture sounds right. I only use pork and beef because i don't hunt big game. Just pheasant and quail.

    I think you were talking about the Nomex for the doors. You leak may not be the doors on the fire box.I hear a lot of people saying that it is the halves of the fire box where there ar no bolts. Someone added 1 or 2 bolts by drilling it out. Someone else just used high temp RTV. Just a thought...

    Was wondering what you are sealing all the doors with. And I was talking about sealing every nook and cranny. And adding a flue cap so it is say to smoke even in the rain. I have been ding the research. And since it is just for my family, I am strongly considering the PBC. Delivered to my door...

    Doesn't that include door gasket material? You also need to buy a whole tube of high temp RTV. And I mean the engine header stuff tested to 1200 degrees or there is the high temp orange tested to 600 degrees. Seal every joint and connections as you put it together.

    Save your used butchers paper!!

    I have started using the paraffin wax cubes. They work in the fire box or in the chimney. Also drizzle a bit of veggie oil on your paper. It will burn longer.

    If you try doing brisket, you will never ever worry about Corned Beef.

    Well at least you don't have to clean much to get the door seals and the door clamps on. If your going to seal them up, go or it. But you must really enjoy it to have 2 of them.

    If you look to seal it in those places that are not the door areas, try using high temp orange RTV that is use for headers on an engine. Tested to 1200 degrees I believe.

    I will say that you deffinately need to oil the bottom for 2 reasons. 1. You will get moisture in the bottom of that smoker when it rains unless yu use a vent cap. 2. If you are going to use the water pan to put moisture, beer, or your choice of juice in the chamber, you will want protection of...

    Gavin, wipe the thing down with oil. The low temp warming prepares the metal to accept the oil you have put on. The high temp helped to seal it. Use a hot burning wood suchb as hickory or oak to get the temp us. I would also look at spraying it down with some high temp(1200) header paint before...
