    Hello

    Thanks Ryan! Think I’ll order a tel-tru to start. From what I’ve seen on other threads, looks like making a expanded metal firebox basket, with some SS bolt legs is a good idea to raise the coals, and hold more wood. Yes, lots of good help here on SMF!

    Hello

    Thanks, I’ll clean it up a bit and give it a burn.

    Hello

    Thanks SecondHandSmoker! I will give that a try, it is an older smoker, but the owner never used it. For the oil burn off, should I only heat from the firebox? Or build a fire in both chambers? I‘ll check the thread- thanks!

    Hello

    There is a port already drilled and plugged in the upper right side, near the stack. Looks like a good place to start. Thanks for the help with this.

    Hello

    Thanks Jake, Where would you drill for mounting the tel thru? I have seen them high on the smoke chamber, and also at the grill level.

    Hello

    Thanks BGKYSmoker, I like the idea of a quality thermometer without electronics. This smoker is basic. Doors and vents. Hope I can get the hang of it.

    Hello

    Hi Sven, Thanks for the reply. Should it be installed at grill level, or higher? Near the offset firebox?

    Hello

    Thank you TNJake! This smoker looks like it has had some heat on it from the outside? But all I see on the inside is some light rust on the grates, and around some of the bolts. Thanks for the tip on the temperature gauge.
