    WSM for $150 on Akron CL

    So, i am going to go check out this smoker after work. All you WSM users, how do i know if this is an older model or the newer one with the few improvements? Can i tell from the box? Not that i think it will make a difference for this price, i think i will be bringing it home either way...

    Smoking a Tuna Steak

    Personally, i think a good tuna steak has a perfect light flavor, and i think smoking will put too heavy of a flavor on it. I just like it quick seared like above. Or for something different you could try Alton Brown's chimney method. I like it seared outside and rare inside with a side of...

    How to maintain fire and smoke in a smoker.

    Oh yea, i saw your previous posts getting setup. Could your exhaust stack be too big? Though you have a large firebox if you dont have a big fire in it maybe its too much. Considering mine is only 3" in diameter though with a much smaller firebox. Thats my only thought...i dont know why that...

    I'm gonna need some help!!

    Stack always wide open, and let my smoker come to temp with intake half open...then make adjustments as needed from there. With the fresh load of fuel at the beginning i usually end up dampening it down to only about 1/4 inch gap in intakes. I havent done anything to make it more air...

    I'm gonna need some help!!

    Have the same smoker and no problems holding temp for a few hours...but wind makes it a huge battle. Build some kind of wind break. I have the vent mod, and a charcoal basket that the top sits even with the knockout. I dont know why you cant rach temp...other than the wind. I have no other mods...

    How to maintain fire and smoke in a smoker.

    What kind of smoker do you have? That will make some difference to answers for me with a Chargriller Smokin Pro: 1. When reloading, i push all hot/burning lump to one side and then load the opposite side with new lump. Let the minion method take over. Lump doesnt give off as much bad stuff...

    Fruit woods losing flavor

    If anyone wants grapevine....let me know! I have 35 acres at my house covered in the gosh darn things! HATE THEM. Maybe i will get a little satisfaction out of cooking meat with them. Some of them are as big as small trees too. Would have to split them! I hate them so bad that i almost...

    Costco Charcoal deal

    I just dont see how you can go wrong with Royal Oak lump that you can get at Wal Mart. I have a Chargriller with SFB and a basket. i load the basket up with a piece of sheetmetal used to leave about 1/3rd open and then fire up half a chimney and dump it in then pull out the sheet metal. Get...
