    Smoker Paint: VHT vs Rustoleum High Heat vs POR 15

    so you didn't paint the firebox at all huh?  interesting.  What about the inside of the smoker?  Am i correct in understanding that after you clean it you don't paint int but instead wipe it down with cooking oil and run the smoker for about 30 min to an hour in order to season it and that's all...

    First attempt at HotDogs with lots of Q-View

    Have you thought about using sheep casings?  I am very interested in trying to make some Hot Dogs but i want the good snap to it.  Your Hot Dogs look awesome.  Are they on the softer side?  I feel without the casings you can't get that awesome "POP".  Am i wrong?
