    Using Small Wood Chunks vs Larger wood pieces.

    I use lump charcoal.  I use the minion method and lay the real small stuff on the bottom of the firebox along with a couple of big chunks and then dump the hot stuff i have burning in the chimney.  It keeps the temps a lot higher and longer than charcoal.

    yep.  I did a turkey breast yesterday and the weirdest thing.  As the temps was dropping in the cooking chamber down to about 200, i started to smell the chemicals again.  I needed to bring my temps back up to around 250 to keep the turkey going and the smell went away.  I'm doing 4 racks of...

    Well I did a big burn 2 weeks ago and had briquettes in the SFB and in the cooking chamber along with a good piece of oak and let it burn. Did my first food cook last saturday. Finally, no chemical smell and the meat turned out perfect! Thanks for everyone's help. Also, as much as I scrapped...

    Cool. I will do that today then my friend and see how it smells.  Now I was also thinking of putting some sticks of oak wood on top of the coals to help with the burn and killing the smell.  Thoughts?

    So you're saying I should have a bed of coals in the cooking chamber AND the firebox in order to try and burn out the smell?

    No. I bought some of permatex' sealant remover and used that, scraped off everything visible, washed the entire grill on the inside with mean green and did a good washing. I'm ready to try it out tomorrow.  When it gets light tomorrow, I'll take some pics of how it looks now. I plan to start a...

    Pros or Cons to Using Straight Oak Wood To Smoke Meat

    Thanks Guys. That does help.  Don't use straight oak wood but then its ok as long as you have something to get it down to glowing and then pop it in the smoker.  Here's my smoker.

    Pros or Cons to Using Straight Oak Wood To Smoke Meat

    I have a charbroil smoker with the side firebox.  Is there a specific technique to using straight oak wood vs lump or regular charcoal to smoke meat?

    I cleaned/scraped it all off with Mean Green as suggested. I still lean in and smell the chemicals. Gonna use straight oak wood on saturday to see if I can get a good smoke/burn to kill off the remaining smell.  We'll see.

    More smoked Buttah' & Cheese

    Yep. Your seal is on the outside doors. I was thinking I could seal every open hole and after a couple of hot 500+ burns, be good to go. Apparently not so I'm going to remove any sealant that is exposed even on the FB and inside the cooking chamber, clean it down really good and re-seal it from...

    Sealing a Char Griller Smoking pro

    Well that's where I messed up.  I put a major glob and filled in that hole and all other holes I saw on the "inside" of the grill with the red RTV. I believe that's why I have such a major chemical smell because I thought it would all cure and not smell and/or burn down to where you wouldnt...

    Sealing a Char Griller Smoking pro

    FP, There was a hole there as a space to put a thermoter which I found a package of two on Amazon but the stems are way smaller than that hole so I just sealed that up and drilled two new ones on either side of the cooking box. I will have to do like you said and get a wire brush and scrap off...
