charcoal smoker vs wood smoker???
Ultra, I must say, that is one fine piece of equipment! I am fortunate that Mrs. SoFlaQuer likes to get involved with my projects (probably so she doesn't become a widow...LOL!). I seems to be a very well thought out design. Next question..........how does the "Hot Rod" perform? Did someone...- soflaquer

charcoal smoker vs wood smoker???
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a convert! For a while, I thought us "Stick Burners" were going the way of the Rotary Phone! I have nothing against Gas or Electric Smokers (I have a Gasser myself), but it seems I've been beating my head against a wall lately, trying to convey to all these...- soflaquer

charcoal smoker vs wood smoker???
Deb, When I'm cooking 80 to 100 lbs. of meat on my Smokers, for an average of 16 to 20 Hours...........do the math. I start my Burn Barrel about 2 hours before THAT and fill it to the top with cut logs. Once I have a good bed of embers in my Firebox and the Barrel, I'll leave it at the 1/2...- soflaquer

charcoal smoker vs wood smoker???
Yep, those sound like the ones. They are pretty tree's but they are considered invasives and are not native to Florida. I don't recall any near the Interstate, though - perhaps I just overlooked them because they are everywhere near the Beach Towns and City's. Jeff- soflaquer

charcoal smoker vs wood smoker???
Most of the wood used here is Oak. In South Florida, we have an invasive species that grows near the coastal areas called "Australian Pine". That in fact is a misnomer, it is actually a Spanish Oak. The leaves of the very tall and slender tree form a thin "needle-like" shape which resembles...- soflaquer

charcoal smoker vs wood smoker???
Bonfire...............Now we're talkin'!!!!! You do not see cords here in Florida, really. But if I'm correct, it is a stack of wood 4 ft X 4 ft. X 8 ft. ? My cuts are only about 2 to 3 ft. in length, so let's narrow it down to a 1/4 cord. Sound better? I know I go through a S**t load of...- soflaquer

First ever attempt at meat smoking
To "Dry Cooler" your finished product: Using HD Aluminum Foil after your meat has reached 160* is one method widely used on this site (explained in detail on other post's on the Forum Index) If not previously wrapped, remove your finished product from the rack and securely wrap in HD Aluminum... -

Hooked on Smokin
Wellcome John! Unlike other Addictions..............We're here to ENABLE you! No Smoking Meat Annonymous here! :lol: Jeff -
First Fatties
The most widely used is Jimmy Dean, by far. I always recommend that newbies try using one for Sauage Gravy and Biscuits! The smoke adds an incredible flavor to it that you can't get anywhere else. Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Jeff -
Uncle Frog wants to get Smokin'
Well Froggie...........it looks like you'll fit right in here! I have the same Dehydrator (I believe), they work very well. Just don't let the Wife put the racks on the bottom shelf of the dishwasher.......Oops! Now I'm minus one rack! No need to Par-Boil the meat if it's well washed 1st... -
charcoal smoker vs wood smoker???
Unless there is a "Burn Ban", which we have from time to time here in So. Fla. during the dry season - you should be OK. I ALWAYS have a charged garden hose next to me when I use my Smokers and/or Burn Barrel. 2 Logs? I'll go thru a 1/2 cord of wood almost on an All Nighter 16 hour cook! Not...- soflaquer

First ever attempt at meat smoking
Marvin, Welcome to SMF! It appears you've done your homework.......that's good! "Average Cooking Time" is 1.5 hrs./Lb.. So, yes, you can use that guage to calculate your cooking times. The smaller the cut, the less cooking time it will take. Your is a very small Butt, so it will probably... -
charcoal smoker vs wood smoker???
If you use large enough rebar, there is no sagging (I believe mine is 5/8"). Where as G-Slinger welded his, I simply used rebar tie-wire and wrapped each end as I went around the barrel and made ties at the crossover points inside the barrel. I uselessly spray painted mine with High-Temp...- soflaquer

Imagine a charcoal chimney X 100!!!! When those logs start going, it's a sight to behold! Pretty awesome to sit around during an All Nighter, actually! Jeff- soflaquer

Wow, what a steal!!!!! There are no Menards down here......what kind of store is that? Jeff -
charcoal smoker vs wood smoker???
The most obvious reason is so it doesn't burn the grass below it and it brings the bottom ember area up to a more suitable shoveling height. I would suggest that if you leave it ground level you put it where the heat will not burn, crack or melt anything...............it gets extremely hot! Jeff- soflaquer

Much better, Cheech! Wookies Rule! Nice job! Your Gas Grill is almost like my SS model. BTW, where'd you find the SS Work Table? I like it! Jeff
