    New smoker question, ......

    Do you start w/ lump and add chunks or logs? I only use logs but would be open to lump if it is more efficient and cost effective.

    Heat too high in new vertical smoker, HELP!

    They are sending me a smaller burner and a new thermo. w/ a longer probe.

    Creasote problems

    A couple of things I've learned about creosote and preventing it. First, you want to make sure that you have enough air flow. Second, you want to make sure that whatever you are using for fuel (charcoal, lump, etc.) is hot enough to cumbust whatever you add. In other words if you have a tiny...
