You know what they say; Looks can be deceiving. I can put down a nice bead, but then I get bored and impatient. Then my rows of nickels start to resemble rows of bird turds.
Bud, that smoker is well seasoned. I just put a new firebox and oven on it.
It's rare to find someone that remembers...
Chris, here's a pic of the vent I made. It's a standard damper type vent. I used 3 inch pipe and cut the dampers out of 1/4 inch sheet. They close pretty tight too.
If you want them, I'll send them to you. I would think 2, 3 inch vents would be sufficient.
Here's what I have so far. The trailer it's on isn't permanent. It still needs a lot of finish work like sand blasting, painting, finish grinding, oven racks, door latch stops and a few other odds and ends. It's a bit lower than I had envisioned, but it'll work. It weighs around 900 lbs.
I don't...
That's great guys. My wife has an original White House Cook book from 1887. I'm not allowed to touch it as it's been in her family since new. It's not even allowed to be in the light. Someone once told her that light deteriorates them, and since then it's been in total darkness. What's the point...
Man that sounds good. I have a friend that competes in them dutch oven competitions. He made me a pineapple upside-down cake a couple of years ago. Don't know what it is about this type of cooking, but it was the best I've ever had.
Chris, can you post a pic or drawing of what you're working with? I have a ton of ideas for vents. I'd be glad to help. I may even have a vent that would work great for you, that I built for another project. It would make a perfect vent for an ash drawer. If it would work for you, I'd send it to...
The meat will also continue cooking using this method. I've seen and meat hit the cooler at 190º and come out at 200º. I personally do not use a cooler anymore. I cook to the desired temp, and I do not have a problem with moisture or pulling. Just a matter of convenience to me. If I've got the...
Welcome to SMF.
If you go to "Roll Call" and post your personal info, most here will give you a proper welcome.
Most everyone here is in agreement about what temp is done. The only difference you'll find is how to get there. They all work.
Just check out the different threads in the pork and...
Getting close!!!!! Doors are done!
All I have left is, vents, latches, log grate, firebox damper, paint, and welding to the smoke chamber.
Will post pics Sunday evening.
I'm so stoked about getting this thing up and running.
Still no takers here huh?
Folks, if you'd rather grill or even cook on a stove or oven, I'm sure no one would complain. If it's an equipment problem, My smoker is up for grabs as I'm sure anyone else's is, when not in use by me or SmokyOky. There should be grills (I'll eat hamburgers) and anyone...
I've heard and read that Oak is "the king of smoking woods." It's good both for heat and flavor. Remember, oak IS a nut tree producing the acorn. Most nut tees are good for smoking.
Try oak as a flavor wood, you won't be disappointed. Trust me. I use oak by itself for well over half of my smoking.
