A spammer can really ruin a good forum. Too bad there are not laws and easy ways to "slam dunk" them such as never ever being able to use a computer again for life.
My only concern when loading up the smoker is if the cooking method I prefer for each type of meat will present a problem. For instance, I'll usually push pork butts and brisket at 275-300F until the stall point is about over and then the smoking temperature will get lowered to 225F for the...
I set my Big Block vents to the stops and adjust the temperature with my gas control. It will get fine tuned once every hour or so. I have also found the gas control a little touchy. I never worry if the temperature is only 10-15F from what is desired but will make a tiny adjustment if necessary.
I start with one large and one smaller chunk along with 2-3 chips to start with thinking that the chips will start smoking first. Once every 1 to 1-1/2 hours I will add a medium size chunk.
I have been popping in at lunch and after dinner for a while. I did not notice the private message to me about the OTBS membership until today. Thanks and Yippie! I will endeavor to uphold the honor of the title.
Maybe your regulator is allowing too much pressure to be applied to the burner which will make your smoker's burner run hotter than the knob setting indicates. The company that makes your unit surely designed it to smoke as low as 225F since that is a such well known desired smoking temperature...
Were they chrome plated, made of thin wire and is more complicated than those in the pictures? If so, they are the same ones I saw at my local Lowes this week. If not, I would be interested in knowing more about them or seeing a picture.
That sure does look like a good snow bird mod. If you made the cover durable enough to handle staying outdoors in the weather then you would have a permanent cover for your smoker and supplies.
Is there a GOSM somewhere under all of that?
If your smoker was really at 235F it should not hurt you too much since it is only 10F above what most consider the best temp of 225F. But as srmonty suggested you really need to calibrate your door thermometer and I suggest purchasing a couple of thermometers to monitor your meat that is being...
