I don't know on the propane cookers...never cooked on one. Most of the time I just use my wsm cookers. I do keep the smoke the whole time on them though.
If they aren't rusted through you can probably wire brush them with a drill and re-season them if they aren't in to bad shape. Just think about how much you will have to spend total to get it up and running.
Are all the cooking grates there and in decent shape? Hard to tell from the pics but looks like just surface rust...a lil sanding and paint and maybe upgrade the wheels to some pneumatics to make easier to move around. Maybe you can talk him down a little and have it up and cooking for 400. I...
Timewise generally mine run between 1-1.5 hrs per pound depending on temp. At 250ish if I were doing it I would put it on about 15 hrs in advance and whatever it came off ahead wrap it in a cooler to rest until ready. Most of the time mine finish a couple hrs early but every now and then I get a...
Man...gone all out on that first smoke!! Very nice indeed!! Hard to guess an exact time it will take to cook as each is different but temp is a lot of personal preference. Some cook at 225 some at 325. I generally run mine at 275-300 degrees and length of time will largely depend on...
Just a lil learning curve with the smoker. Great advice by Al...they will cook faster and his Internal temp method works great just be sure you aren't touching bones with the therm. They will still cook nicely and taste great at 300...I generally tend to do a lot of cooking in this range.
Welcome Rick!! Good luck on the smoking...post up some pics when ya fire em up. Good luck on the stick burner...what company does he work for if ya don't mind?
If you have an academy sports nearby they usually carry old country smokers. The difference he is describing is like the difference between their pecos and brazos model. Both look alike but one is around $300 and the other around $1000. Open the lids and one is lightweight thin metal and the...
Lots of possibilities. Is it a reverse flow? Accumulated grease build up hot enough to ignite, under seasoned wood until it gets hot enough, creosote buildup catching fire, anything foreign made its way into firebox (oil from seasoning possibly getting into firebox), giant wasp nest in smoke...
Stick burners are all about having good flow through them to cook good meat. I try to cut my wood to size when using one so that it has a free burning fire that keeps the temp in the range I want it. Might be hard to picture this but to much wood makes to big of fire that tries to get way to...
Well, got the 22.5 put together and fired it up with some pecan and hickory chunks with charcoal to burn it out a little. It looks kinda funny sitting next to my 18.5...it just towers over it lol.
