    The smoker is seasoned and had its first smoke.  I did pretty good with a few chickens.  I think i might have got them in a bit early. I didn't like the taste of the skin.  But, there is always a first pancake and meat was great.    I found a local source (by talking to the owner of new que...

    i have both enameled and seasoned cast iron. I tend to season with canola oil.  The linseed oil i tend see is for decking/wood. I wonder if it is safe for the smoker.

    probably ribs first...but with the weekends being so booked, it might wind up being chickens, because they smoke faster. :)

    Well, I broke down and bought one.  Of course I decided to go with the 36" Hybrid Deluxe.  When it gets here, there will be shouts of joy and time to learn the magic of stick burning :)

    I've been looking at the Lang 36 for a while. the only thing that stopped me was the shipping cost to CA.  Well, that and having to split wood.  Any thoughts on where else to look or do I commit to the 2k it will cost (total)?

    Hello from San Francisco

    Well, not exactly San Francisco, but close enough.  Unlike SF, I have plenty of parking and  sunny backyard made for smoking.  I use Chargriller half barrel, with a side smoke box -- though I tend to use charcoal and chunks of wood for the smoke.  Not a lot of options for sticks in my area. I...
