Can I use this kind of wood to smoke with?
So, it would burn hot and fast? I'll burn a sample of it to determine if the smoke is something I'd like to have on the meat I smoke. Is there another way to test the wood?- bulletbob

Can I use this kind of wood to smoke with?
Thanks..... I was hoping I could. I'll burn a little bit by itself and smell the smoke. If it smells good, then I'll use it, but if it doesn't, well, I'll just use it in my fireplace. Is this "smell test" the best way to see if it will be a good smoking wood?- bulletbob

Stainless Steel fridge smoker success
No....no fumes....for several reasons.... 1. I burned out the cookbox for three or four days at a very high temperature, of up to 450 degrees, or thereabouts. That high temp took out any foam insulation that was susceptible to being melted during a regular 275 - 300 degree cook. During the...- bulletbob

Stainless Steel fridge smoker success
Another thing I did to this stickburner, is, I put about 5 firebricks in the floor of the cookbox, for two purposes. 1. to retain more of the heat and maintain it more evenly, and 2. to hold up a lower rack for a hotter cook, if I wanted it. Don't recall if I mentioned it before, but, after I...- bulletbob

Stainless Steel fridge smoker success
The insulation that was in mine, was the foam type, which breaks down pretty well with a long high heat "episode".....With mine, I threw in a lot of oak and anything else that would burn and build up heat in order to melt out the insulation. I did this at a temp of around 400 - 450 degrees for...- bulletbob

Stainless Steel fridge smoker success
Now that I have a little time add to my previous post about my new home made smoker, I'll explain in more details what I did to make it work so well. I cut out two 2 1/4" holes in the top for the exhaust and placed in them two exhaust tips off of my 70 Torino GT, when I replaced them with new...- bulletbob

Stainless Steel fridge smoker success
I recently finished my home made refrigerator smoker, and I couldn't be more pleased with the initial outcome. A friend of mine gave me a veterinarians fridge that he kept medicines in to keep them fresh. The temperature went to 34 degrees and kept my beer nice and cold. Then one day the...- bulletbob
