    Caulking for Smoker?

    I need to seal some areas on my Char-Griller.  I bought some Hi Temp Silicone Sealant by Meeco's Red Devil.  Would this be ok to use?  Will it affect the food at all?  Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Dave  (Snoova)

    Hi everyone. OK, thanks to some advice on this page I have my smoker seasoned.  Now I'm ready for the next step... actually cooking something in it.  Can anyone steer me in the correct direction please?  I have a 6 pound pork butt and I'm using a Char-griller with the sidebox. What can you do...

    Hello everyone! My name is Dave (from Illinois) and I just got a Char-Griller with a side smoker.  I'm new to this hobby.  I have grilled forever, but haven't yet tried my hand at smoking.  I just recently assembled my smoker.  Can someone tell me what is the best way to season it?  How long...
