    Best Way to use wood for smoking

    Just because the wood was first cut at a saw mill does not make it bad. Sawmills have lots of scraps that would make excellent smoking wood. Bottom line if your not sure what it is don't use it. They make charcoal out of scrap wood. As far as size of wood that depends what size smoker you have...

    Pork Butt

    I found boneless cook faster. Maybe a little less flavor. As stated mixing is a great way to go.

    Extra Smoke?

    If I was looking for a stronger smoke flavor would use mesquite or some fruit wood. They are some of the strongest.

    RF Patio Version Build and Questions

    Hands down "I" would build a UDS for what you want. It would be a lot less work and they are great. Just my opinion.

    Is this a smokehouse?

    I would build a smoker out of a stainless or aluminum cabinet. Something like a food cart hospitals use to cart food trays around. You can get bent-up ones reasonable and they come quite large. They have racks built in and convert quite easy.

    RF Patio Version Build and Questions

    "Is a 15.1" Diameter enough to build a RF version Smoker?" I really hate to rain on your parade, but here goes. I don't think so. There is a certain amount of work that goes into any build regardless of size. If you were to use a larger tank it would be almost no additional work and you would...

    Is this a smokehouse?

    It seems like the best answer is it was a smoke house. Why would you have a stove pipe for such a small building. To bad the previous owners didn't leave the smoker that was in it. At least that is what I would do with it.

    Daves Smokehouse....Part 9 Test Runs

    Would having the slits too deep cause a yellow flame?  I believe so in a round about way. More burner surface opening requires more gas, more gas requires more air. I think a way to try and increase air mixture is to use a bell reducer small end sized to your burner pipe and larger end of bell...

    My first build fixing to get started....

    Hi Jim, So your saying your not pulling more cool air in opening the top vent without stoking the fire? And yes I stand corrected if your closing the bottom air vent equal to opening the top air vent you are not increasing the air flow through the CC.

    My first build fixing to get started....

    Dave, Just my perspective I would not reduce size of lower intake because of need to get fire going. Upper intake is just a way to increase air flow through CC without increasing heat from the fire. That helps equalize CC temp from one end to the other. More air flow allows for more even cooking...

    does anyone make a vertical cabinet style stick burner?

    I think its easier to get a solid smoke flavor with a wood burner. Its also easier to over smoke your meat. I try to get as little smoke coming out of the stack as possible. I actually try for no smoke. If  you have a small HOT fire it can be done. I never worry about lack of smoke flavor.

    Ok, need some opinions on patio size reverse flow.

    You reverse the roll meaning you pull the first roll bend out of the rollers and turn it around for the second trip through the rollers. That takes care of the flat spot.

    Water pans, do you use them and why?

     Well a group of us were having dinner at Sonny's which is a chain of BBQ restaurants in the south. I being interested in smoking meat asked if I could see their smoker set up. The waitress said its not allowed which is probability a standard answer but would relay my request to the manager...

    "The Original" Outdoor Cooker - model #2750/R

    Don't let the looks of that rust bother you. Use a wire brush and soapy water to scrub the grates. When clean rinse then heat until dry and then put cooking oil on them. Cast iron grates are the best my opinion.

    question for all you wood burners

    Have burned wood in all my charcoal grills. Secret is to cut the dry wood in very small thin pieces so it lights quick. You won't be straying far from your grill as wood won't last long but you won't melt your grill down while cooking. Produces a better flavor meat my opinion.
