    First Bacon on a horizontal offset smoker

    I wanted to get some opinions on how suitable my horizontal offset is for smoking bacon.  I've noticed most of you on here seem to use gas or electric for your long smokes.  My concern is the temperature fluctuations I get with my horizontal, which although they're not major, and I can keep them...

    Wood Selection

    I didn't bother calling any of my local orchards in the end, as I stumbled across a new source for my wood chips from somewhere right under my nose! There's a business down the road that sells supplies for landscaping, pergolas etc which I had never bothered calling as they only deal in...

    I've only done a small amount of research so far, but have found varioius types of eucalyptus and gum trees, jarrah, and brushbox.  I'll be doing some more digging over the holidays and will post what I find. cheers

    Wood Selection

    G'day all!  I'm looking to try some Australian wood for smoking, as buying wood chips from trees not native to Australia are very expensive.  I've been paying nearly $10 for 1 1/3lb of hickory/mesquite chips (and that's the cheapest price I could find) so am going to try and find a local option...

    Horizonal Offset Smoker Mods

    These mods are great!  I was having major problems with temperature control and uneven cooking from one end of the grill to the other in my horizontal smoker.  I made a charcoal basket, increased the size of the original baffle and put in some tuning plates.  Still have some fine tuning to do...

    Jumping the gun

    G'day everyone.  I got a bit ahead of myself when I first joined and had already made a few posts before I found out here is where I should've started!  My name's Pete, and I live in Adelaide, South Australia.  I gotta say I'm very envious of all you guys in the US, here in Australia smoking is...

    Temperature Control

    I've had the intake vent open 100% but the exhaust only open 50%.  I'll open the exhaust right up next time and see if there's any improvement.  Cheers for the tip!

    Temperature Control

    G'day everyone all the way from Australia.  I'm hoping someone out there can help me with an issue I'm having with temperature control.  I have a horizontal smoker, and I use charcoal as my fuel source.  The problem I'm having is an even burn in my firebox.  I light my initial pile of charcoal...
