    New smoker - looking for advice.

    I have a friend who works in a school with access to some really nice technical equipment. I happen to be having drinks with him this weekend, I'll see if he could knock me up some air vents and legs for my charcoal basket! I'm desperate to get smoking but after today's dry run I'm fairly...

As soon as the coals were added, the temp immediately rose to 250F, then slowly dropped back to about 210F. In an effort to...

    Thanks for the response guys. It's called a Deuba, can't find a website, purchased on Amazon. There's no bottom air vent, there is a significant gap around the bottom. I'm not sure how this will affect temp control, will need to butn it a few times to see. If I were to fit an air vent, would I...

    The smoker I have on the way is called a Deuba. Fairly basic but hopefully I can get to grips with the basic techniques.
