    Appreciate the heck out of the info. Gonna try this beast out hopefully this week but our wind has been blowing 20 mph and above for the last couple of days and is in the forecast for the next several days.

    TnJake, Craig is a super guy, really enjoyed visiting with him. It's amazing the work he puts out in that small shop. Give me the best info you can for building a fire (how large to start with), a full bed of embers/coals or what and how. Help, got to get this thing fired up and cooking without...

    Finally drove up and picked up my baby. Now to learn how to build a fire and not create creosote. I am ready to start the process of learning to smoke brisket and everything else. It's a 24 x 48 with a 20 x 20 firebox. Got a tuner plate installed and added the stainless steel handles to keep...

    I talked to Craig on Friday Feb 25th, and he is starting my smoker on Monday. Said it would be ready for pickup Friday the 1st so I am heading to Owasso, OK that day and stay overnight and pick the smoker up Saturday the 2nd. Ended up with the 24 x 48 with the pot warmer, cooking grate in FB, 2...

    Bell Fab on order - need advice

    I spoke with Craig yesterday and when I placed my order in early December, he was about 60 days out. He has been extremely busy, and it appears his orders have come in hot and heavy. He is finishing up a custom trailer (about 7 to 10 days left on it) and was going to get to some backyard smokers...

    GonnaSmoke, I just think it would be so much easier having a top lid and a side door on the firebox, especially if I have it designed to cook hamburgers, grill steaks or whatever. I will definitely play with the water but I am glad to hear it's not necessary. Appreciate your response.

    I hate to be a pain and bother everyone again and I am probably overthinking all aspects of a smoker but I want it to be a great set up and one I will be happy to cook on and will never have to replace. I am also getting extremely antsy and wanting Mr. Bell to get started on my smoker. I guess I...

    New Smoker

    Did you have an extra probe port for thermometer cables or just the ports in the lids. If you had a third port where did you have it installed? I can't tell from the picture but it looks like it might be next to the smoke stack.

    Red Oak vs White Oak

    Since we are on Red Oak, has anyone used Willow Oak, it's in the Red Oak family?

    How to season a new offset?

    I will be getting my new offset in February and curious on how to season the smoker and does it even need to be seasoned? All info really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Did you use a trailer or a truck. The 5' x 9' utility trailer has a 4' 9" ramp and I was thinking of using the 4' by 7' utility trailer and just taking my own ramps, I have heavy duty ramps that should work great for rolling the beast onto a trailer.

    Appreciate the heads up. Will definitely try to have all bases covered for the U-Haul.

    When I talked to Craig and ordered it, he said it was close to a thousand pounds and I only have the two wheels so it's got to be a beast to move about. Once I get it home it's going between two oak trees on a slab and staying there. I can just back the U-Haul up to the slab and unload it right...

    Definitely appreciate your time and info. I was out clearing an area to increase the yard size to run an electric fence to help prevent the wild hogs from tearing up the yard and looked at the slab and wondered "what the heck is the width gonna be on that smoker and is it gonna fit". The width...

    Do you know the length and width of your smoker? I have a 33 x 66" slab where I will be putting mine when I get it and the length won't be any problem, I'm just hoping it's not wider than 33 inches.

    Curing/Aging splits

    Just picked up this moisture meter at Harbor Supply, a whopping $13.99. My 1 year old splits are reading 11 to 13% moisture level.

    Curing/Aging splits

    That sounds good to me because as small as I cut my firewood for the free standing stove and split it immediately everything I have over a year old should be good to go. I just finished cutting, splitting and stacking enough white oak to use just for smoking to last me a couple of years once...
