Well, I can certainly tell that I've got some learning to do. I think my splits are too small. I'm thinking I'm going to have to go with 12 - 16" splits. Right now the splits I have are 6 - 10" and they are not producing enough heat. I'm adding two or more at a time and playing with the intake...
Thanks! I will give that a shot tomorrow. I hope it isn't raining. Bought a pork butt and some spare ribs yesterday. I'm looking forward to firing this baby up for some smoke!
That said, I do have one more question for those who have this particular smoker. How do you route your probes? I don't...
So, this is my first experience at all with a stick burner. To season it, I dumped a bunch of coals on a bed of a full load of hot coals from the Weber chimney, then threw a bunch of wood chunks on. About 30 minutes later, I put some more wood chunks on and then some more after about an hour...
Finally got a chance to fire up the smoker. I got it up to about 350 before I shut the vent by the firebox down to about the 2/3 mark. The temperature is decreasing slowly.
I've noticed that I'm losing a lot of smoke out of the firebox. Can you recommend something I can a lot to get a better...
Haven't had a chance to yet. It's been raining everyday here for the last month and looks to continue doing so for the next week or so..I will probably try to do it this weekend, rain it shine.
Question about seasoning..do I need to put anything on the outside of the smoker or just the inside?
Good Afternoon all..
I haven't had a chance to get my new baby seasoned yet, however I have been checking it out. I've noticed that there isn't too much room for ashes in the firebox as the grate for the coal/wood sits fairly low. Have any of you had any problems getting ashes out during a long...
Welp, today's the day. I'm planning to buy the Wrangler this evening. Hopefully it isn't raining all day tomorrow and I will get it seasoned. It will probably be next Friday or Saturday before I can do my first smoke on it though...In any case, I'm excited. This will be my first stick burner...
I've got someone cutting some splits for me in the 9 to 12 inch range..I'm planning to pick them and the smoker up on Friday...if it's not raining all day Saturday, I'll get it seasoned then..
MickHLR,
Thanks for that...would you think that a 5 1/2 or 6 inch split is too short, or would you just use 3 at a time instead of 2?
Those ribs look mighty tasty! I need to know more about this butter, brown sugar and honey mix...
What size splits do you use? I'm going to buy a Wrangler Friday night and am looking for pre-split wood. I'm seeing a lot in the 15-17 in range and am wondering if that is too long.
Thanks..
