    White Smoke

    Thanks all for your help. I wanted to let you all know that I found a solution to my problem of green wood. I got the idea from Food Network, though they weren't trying to do it like this. I have a fire pit in the back yard, I ran out of scrap wood (I also so a lot of carpentry) so I threw a...

    Building my own smoker.

    My objective is to build a smaller version of the oak smokers that professional southern BBQers use for their restaurants. Two of the best BBQ places here in Orlando use oak. Huge stacks of wood can be seen in back of the restaurants. The reason I'm doing this instead of buying one of the...

    White Smoke

    What causes the white smoke as opposed to blue? Is it simply too much moisture? I built a larger version of the typical $49 Weber "bullet" smoker. Hot box on the bottom, food goes above. I did go to the into forum moments ago, thanks. I am at this moment in the process of smoking a butt in the...

    Smoking in Florida

    Hello all:  While I'm not particularly new to smoking meats, I recently built a smoker of my own and am trying to get the kinks out.  In the past I have smoked countless turkeys, ducks and chickens, and also some Boston Butt on a Weber smoker. I decided it was too small for my needs and thus...

    White Smoke

    Hello all: I'm new to the forums and after reading through some of the posts, I saw something that I had to ask about. Why is billowing white smoke bad and what does it mean? I have been using a Weber smoker for a long time and have built a smoker of my own with a much larger capacity. I have...
