    First Time Wood Fire Pizza Oven Advice

    The recipe above is for a larger pizza (450 grams). My pizzas are typically 350g for a 12-13" pizza. You'll need to define the size and style of pizza you'd like to make. I would buy an infrared thermometer to gauge the temp of your stone. It should be cooking between 550 (NY Style) and 600 F...

    Propane Smoker in a Wood Enclosure/Smoke House

    Thanks for offering your thoughts. I'm kicking around doing something as you've proposed. I may create a 4-door front, where 2 top doors are smaller (maybe 25% of the area). And the bottom two are 75%. I'd run the smoker with the top ones open. This might provide sufficient shielding from the...

    Propane Smoker in a Wood Enclosure/Smoke House

    Well...the last few posts are certainly a buzz-kill. Guess I'll need to re-evaluate. Very appreciative of everyone's feedback.

    Propane Smoker in a Wood Enclosure/Smoke House

    Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate it. There is a rotating disk-type vent on the top-center of the cabinet. If I cut a hole in the wood above it I can probably drop a pipe in it, with a top cover. I'll just need to find one with a damper. I think a hinge would be a lot of work (sawing)...

    Propane Smoker in a Wood Enclosure/Smoke House

    I have an outdoor wood fired pizza oven. Roughly 5 years ago I began building an wood enclosure "dog house" to keep the rain and snow off it. The residual moisture was causing it to crack. Making a long story short, I bailed on the project and have had a giant wooden dog house taking up space in...

    Weston Propane Smoker - Conversion to Natural Gas

    Thanks to you all for replying. I tried to find info regarding a propane-to-gas conversion on YouTube or elsewhere for this smoker model and didn't have any luck. I have a couple propane tanks from my homebrewing days. I can use those until I can find a suitable, complete conversion kit...

    Weston Propane Smoker - Conversion to Natural Gas

    I had a Weston smoker sitting in my garage for about 8 years. I purchased it at a charity auction. I also had a natural gas port on my patio. Last weekend I decided to connect it and see what happens. The smoker works on natural gas, on the "low" setting. It gets up to 200 degrees with no load...
