    I'm just learning so please bear with me. But could you expand on why the two different strips as they seem to overlap, and more on how to use them? Much appreciated! Thanks.

    Brick oven smoker... sort of.

    Thanks for this... I've been covering it up for smoking. But cold smoking is my next rig. I figure that I'll build a "smoke/combustion" box outside and pipe the smoke in with a very small computer fan through a hole on the door. Hopefully it'll cool down enough by that point. Cheers,

    Brick oven smoker... sort of.

    Hi, I've just joined, but have been interested in smoked/smoking food for years. I live on a Gulf Islands just off the BC coast.  I just finished building a brick oven which, as it turns out, also makes a great smoker.    Really looking forward to learning, exploring and experimenting. Thanks!
