    temps across the smoker reverse flow vs regular?

    thank you! and that is not reverse flow correct? so basically hotter by the firebox and hotter as you go higher in the chamber.

    temps across the smoker reverse flow vs regular?

    i've heard over and over that a reverse flow has more even temps across the smoking area i am curious if anyone has actually taken the time to measure temp differences from left to right and left to right on top rack on both standard and reverse flow smokers?

    can charcoal be used as primary fuel in a lang offset?

    because i live in the burbs and it can be difficult to find good wood. and if i do it may be green. so in the event of not finding wood that is good or i run out of ready to use wood i would like the option to still use my smoker.

    Smoked butt fail

    i would remove that therm on the smoker and test it in boiling water and i bet you are at least 30 degrees off if not more. depending on your elevation boiling temp differs a bit but you can look that up. stick the tip of that therm in boiling water and see what it reads! not that this has...

    How to use an Offset Smoker exhaust vent?

    when you close your intake vents till there is only a sliver open (basically any more and it's closed) and it is still too hot, then you start to close down the exhaust till you can regulate temp. also it is there for shutting down. when you are done with your cook you fully close both intake...

    can charcoal be used as primary fuel in a lang offset?

    i've been wanting a lang but what is stopping me is the fact that i am unsure of being able to get a steady supply of fuel wood. so if i can run charcoal in it and add in chunks it would make me more willing to buy this thing. i obviously try to always run straight wood but if needed i would...

    Royal Oak Lump Charcoal

    my problem with RO is the inconsistency of the chunks, most bags are half dust and pieces so small they fall through the grate. when i used to use it it will burn better and hotter (if you want it to) but you get much less charcoal by volume. so a full basket on my WSM 22 would only get me about...
