    Bark or not

    I know that there are claims of less ash with bark removed. Both in smoking and burning firewood as a fuel. If thats something you are concerned about you may think about it...but other than that i dont see how it could have much effect either way. Im not even sure i buy the less ash...

    Democrats for Guns!

    What about the 3rd? The hard leaning lefties that think NO person should have the right to defend their person, property, or family with a firearm? The facts are there...when states pass concealed carry laws crime drops. Ohio has always been open carry legal but fairly recent to concealed...

    New to smoking, need help with new smoker.

    alot of times you can bend ribs a little to go around the edge of the smoker...cant help with a brisket...but i would think a flat by itself would fit on that size rack. If you mean a whole packer brisket you can seperate the flat from the point and smoke seperate.

    Little upset...didnt know what i was burning most of the winter

    So, i burn wood for heat. I cut up this tree a couple years ago over the winter. No leaves...so didnt know what i was cutting. I just got done burning the end of it, and over the winter i loved how this stuff burnt and left a nice bed of coals. When i finally started thinking about it and...

    Bought used smoker. Should I clean it?

    If it were me, i would not only clean it...but i would hit it with a wire wheel too. I would probably start with a pressure washer good. Let it dry and then go over it with a wire wheel and try to get all the loose crap and rust off. Start fresh, and then season it good. Looks like it could use...

    Had to put out fire in Char Griller smoker w/ extingisher. How do I clean it now?

    next time keep some baking soda to douse the grease fire...easier than cleaning out dry chemical...did you burn all the paint off your smoker? I also find it kind of ironic the first suggestion after cleaning was to "start a very hot fire." Anyone else think that? I know what you were getting...

    Fatty in foil pan or directly on grate?

    Fatty in foil pan or directly on grate?

    How long should u keep wood before it gets bad.

    If your storing it inside it will last a long time as it should all be hardwood. Personally i dont use any wood in my smoker if there is any fungus or mold on it...and i often get that if its outside under a tarp (my heating wood pile). So now i split all my smoker wood for the year when i am...
