Hi Guys,
The forums look great and everyone here sees to know what they're talking about!!
I unfortunately discovered them slightly too late, and ordered the Landmann horziontal smoker (the Tennessee smoker) which seems have gotten a bad rep, for more than one reason (which i guess isn't unsurprising given its £100 price tag)
Ho hum - I am on a budget and I liked the cut of its jib, and so it was delivered today (although I haven't had the chance to get it out being at work). I'm mega stoked about smokin some M-E-A-T and have read about the problems with the Landmann (build quality, heat issues, fuel issues etc) but as I'm a newb, I'll keep hold of it for a while and when I become even slightly proficient at smoking meat, I'll get something better.
So I have a couple of questions for the well seasoned smokers out there:
Should I make modifications to my smoker?
If yes, which would you recommend? (please use layman terms as I am an utter newb).
I've read about mods for distributing heat, distributing smoke, sealing air leaks and I'm a little on the lost side.
also - which accessories are a "must have" for smoking?
I have a probe thermometer (I was given a digital one for Christmas a couple of years back)
I was considering a starter chimney although there seems to be some difference of opinion (or at least practice) on those.
I have many threads to read through still, so I apologize in advance if these questions have been covered countless times!
