    Scuba tank mini reverse flow - first build

    Gary I believe it is better. I did notice it was holding better temps with the lump and extra air hole. One crucial detail I missed when looking at SmokinSteves build was that he had air intakes on both sides of his firebox. I could either add another vent on the front door or the back of my...

    Help identifying fake bhut jolokia

    Anybody have any idea what this pepper might be? it had a bhut jolokia tag at the nursey but I grew real bhuts last year and this ain't it.  They are SUPER HOT but unlike a ghost pepper the heat hits instantly and really does not have much flavor, unless you consider pain a flavor.

    Scuba tank mini reverse flow - first build

    I did try cracking the door and left it against the latch so I could see in the firebox, it did not seem to make much of a difference in the burn rate. I was using mainly wood chunks once it got going.  I am wondering if  using lump will make a difference.  Would holding a hair dryer towards the...

    First Smoke Failure! Had the single rack of ribs on for 6 hours last night and ended up having to finish in the oven.  I started with a half dozen cheap Safeway briquets and then chunks of apple and cherry. Had the air intake vent wide open and the chimney wide open as well, it flows well but I...
