    Charcoal basket?

    It could, are you putting the new charcoal in top of the old, or pre lighting it in a chimney? You could use less charcoal and more wood. Another goo idea, create an elevated floor out of rebar or expanded metal, or small angle iron for the ash to fall underneath then you can scoop it out as you...

    Charcoal basket?

    IMEO charcoal baskets are a waste of time, they hinder the learning process. However, they seem to offer greater flexibility with heat management I have never owned one, but it makes it easier to remove your "fire" if it gets to hot I'm guessing instead of trying to pull out burning logs and...

    New Smoker

    High temp paint works really good +1400 or +1200 degree paint. Found at any local hardware store you may check lowes because the paint on my smoker is a brush in type and looks good!

    Meat grinder

    Joe is absolutely right! Despite my sausage and BBQ making experience I HAD to buy a vertical stuffer for slim Jim's and sticks. That being said you may as well buy a stuffer with ALL metal gears! As a beginner you may not add enough moisture to the mix and strain the nylon geared stuffers to...

    Question about this Oak

    Nothing wrong with live oak. On the family land in front of my moms house we have a lie oak that I over 500 years old! The low lying branches made for good climbing as kids! Nothing like driving though Texas and seeing a Mott in a shaded area off the Side of the road
