Soooo... How'd it go?!
Didn't start it yet... Too cold, windy, and rainy... Ah the joys of living in NW Ohio... I will be sure to post a new thread with my progress once I do though! Thanks!
Soooo... How'd it go?!
I have a Landmann gasser and while it isn't exactly the same I don't think they are all that different. My directions also said to use chips and let me be the next in a list of members here who disregarded that. All I use are chunks now and it works great. For pulled pork I put in 2-3 chunks to start depending on size and go from there. Usually they will last 1.5-2 hours but that can change depending on weather, if you need more flame to keep a hot smoker in the cold my wood burns faster as well. Just keep an eye on things for the first few runs and you will learn the rig. Regarding the soaking of wood chunks, I used to but stopped. There are plenty of pics on the web of wood chunks cut in half after soaking for hours and hours. The water doesn't penetrate beyond 1/8" and everything inside of that is dry; doesn't seem like you gain much from soaking chunks. Chips are a different story though.
Good luck and don't forget the Q-View!
My smoker's V-day after a full day wouldn't have been possible, otherwise!!I don't soak anymore either! Learned by experimentation! No more wet wood for me!
Looks great! You go girl!Thumbs Up
