    350 reverse flow

    As you can see I have plates that are removable in the bottom of my big smoker that carry heat and smoke to the other end a lot easier to fabricate these instead of doing reverse flow.

    Bricks in the smoker

    you can use regular clay bricks or fire bricks (which have a higher heat tolerance) often used in wood fired pizza ovens. Not sure why you would want to use bricks though does your smoker get too hot to fast? If I use one of my smaller smokers I will take a metal cookie sheet or pan and use it...

    spatchcock whole chicken with bite through skin?

    heres the problem with that...After you smoke the chicken my skin always shrink up and is never the same size as before starting, then the judges bite the skin and it pulls off anyway because it is just loosely placed on there. I am doing a competition in May here in Texas and getting "bit...
