    Question about use of wood for smoking

    I got the bolts and washers for the feet, but what I may try first is some pieces of brick to lift the grate up off the bottom.  I think that might do the trick.

    Question about use of wood for smoking

    Built the charcoal basket..Here is a pick of my smoker with the grate I got with it and then with the basket in there. I could have made the bends a little better, but it should get the job done.. Still think I need to raise it up a little to get it closer to the damper.

    Question about use of wood for smoking

    Thanks Piney, I have a grate, it's just not cutting it..I think it's sitting to close to the bottom of the fire box which is causing the fire to get smothered out once the ash builds up..You're right though, I may have to go down in size with the splits I'm using.  Currently they're anywhere...

    Question about use of wood for smoking

    Appreciate all of the input.  I have a grate(not shown in the pic) that sits on the bottom of the box, it has angle iron legs. Thinking it might not be quite high enough off the bottom. I'll snap a pic this weekend.  Oh and thanks for the link JL, I'll be making a trip to Home Depot this...

    Question about use of wood for smoking

    Thanks, I had been using dry oak splits, but maybe not dry enough.  Good suggestion about sitting them on top of the fire box..I'll definitely try adding the wood through the damper the next  time.  Still getting used to this smoker, there are a couple of tweaks I'd like to make with the design...

    Question about use of wood for smoking

    wanted to follow back up on this thread.  I know this is by no means the largest smoker, but I think it should be big enough to burn straight wood..That said, why couldn't you burn straight wood in a smaller smoker if you wanted too?? About a week or two back I did an experiment by using just...

    Question about use of wood for smoking

    When I first started smoking, I was using mostly lump charcoal and now I have switched to using primarily oak.  For you guys that are using just wood to smoke with, how do you keep from oversmoking the meat?  Obviously when adding more wood to your fire, it has a tendency to smoke up.  This...

    Fuel for Smoking

    Just noticed this thread, I've been primarily using well seasoned oak for fuel that I start with a chimney full of lump charcoal.  I get the Cowboy brand from Ace Hardware.
