    Seasoning an used smoker?

    OK, I think I have about used up my allotment of NEWB questions. I did a search on seasoning and can only find seasoning for new smokers.

    Smoker mounted on pipe in ground

    The horizontal wood smoker I bought does not have a typical base with wheels. It has a vertical pipe meant to be mounted in the ground. I have a couple of questions: 1. Does a smoker ever need to be turned a certain direction depending on wind? If so I guess I should set this up to rotate...
