    Reverse or your regular flow

    Honestly it depends what your looking for. I have a reverse flow but learned to smoke on a traditional offset. The traditional offset is easier to have a hot section, and a cooler section for you to cook on. This allows you to move certain items closer to the fire to speed up their cook as...

    Offset Smoker Location

    Hello everyone, I recently bought a new smoker that I'm super stoked about. However, the area I was originally planning on putting it is like 20 feet from a neighbors window so I have rethought about not having it there. Now I am running low on places to put it in my backyard. How close do you...

    Cutting Wood

    I'm looking at Oak primarily, I may look into expanding to other woods as my wood guy gets more.

    Cutting Wood

    Awesome, thank you everyone for the replies. I recently ordered a new stick burner that is quite a bit larger than what I have dealt with in the past. I'm hoping my presplit logs from my wood guy will work because it is a larger smoker, but will look into a good axe and stump to split as needed...

    Cutting Wood

    Hello everyone, I was curious what you guys use to cut your wood. Sometimes depending on how my fire is burning, I want to add a smaller chunk of wood so I cut one of the logs in half. What do you guys use to cut your Oaks and stuff? I was looking at buying a Miter/Chop Saw for this, I'm not...

    Probe Port

    hello everyone, I’m getting a custom 54 inch reverse flow smoker being built for me. It is a reverse flow smoker with two slide out shelfs. I was wondering how many probe ports do you think I should have in it. I was planning on 4, one on each side of the smoker for each shelf. Is that too...

    JH Smokers vs. Lang

    Below are some of the pictures he provided me. He has a website, but his Facebook seems to be more up to date with different options.

    JH Smokers vs. Lang

    I posted a few days ago and several people suggested for me to get a Lang 48. I recently found a pit builder only an hour away from me. Has anyone heard of JH Smokers? The few reviews I have read were highly rated, but there isn’t a ton of reviews out there. The smokers I am looking at both...

    Lang vs. Yoder Loaded Wichita

    The Lang shipping was $600 which is the difference in price between the Yoder and Lang. The smokers themselves are the same price but Yoder shipping is only $350 or so and I think that is because there is a Yoder dealer near me.

    Lang vs. Yoder Loaded Wichita

    Hello everyone, I am currently in the market to buy a new pit. I think I have narrowed it down to the Lang 48 or the Yoder Loaded Wichita. After shipping the Wichita is roughly $250 cheaper. I was hoping to receive others input on what they would do. My usual smokes are briskets and pork butts...

    Quality of Pork Shoulder (Kroger)

    Recently I found a grocery store that is charging half the price on Pork Shoulders as the other local grocery stores (1.19 per lb). I have only bought pork shoulders from higher quality grocery stores but I don't mind saving money, so I was open to trying a cheaper pork butt. I know that for...

    Suggestions on new Smoker with roughly $2,000 Budget

    I recognize that everyone has their own opinions on what type of smoker is best, but I was hoping to get some suggestions on which one people are suggesting. Currently I'm looking into the Horizon 20 inch or the Yoder Wichita, both of which I would add second shelves, a tuning/convection plate...
