    Seasoned and ready for meat! I had some issues with flare up when using the stock wood tray. I think the wood chunks were on fire within the forst 10 minutes have it being in. After swapping out the pan and using a cast iron pan it seemed to work much better but still burned wood pretty fast...

    Thanks for the info. I seemed to have gotten it under control after messing with the temperature a bit and using the cast iron skillet. I'll have to try the sand because the water burned out fast as well as the wood. But the end result today is that I have a seasoned smoker the is ready for meat.

    Haha, thanks for being honest. Those are the things I need to hear so it isn't a nightmare like you said. Being it's only feeding 2 people I can afford to space things out more and use less plants. I'd rather not have too much growing. Would it help to control the spread of the cucumber and...

    When using the smoker it looks like you only use wood chips/ chunks as long as smoking is needed. Like for ribs when you foil wrap them, but should I always keep smoke going if I have unwrapped food if I'm only cooking a butt? Or is there a set length of time to use smoke and then let it finish...

I found this forum a couple weeks ago and have taken the eCourse and read through alot of the threads here to get me prepared to make delicious smoked food. So I...
