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...
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...
Looks like they got to close to the flame maybe. Also they need to be trimmed up more, you may have had a high temp spike and no known it (common in smaller smokers) you may also want to place foil underneath your ribs to protect more from hear spikes, keep juices surrounding meat and also...
Bruno, just be glad you have an HEB I miss HEB so much, I was in Fort Worth a few weeks back before leaving vacation for Vegas drove by one of Herman E. Butts 10 million home there! All we have in west Texas is united supermarkets..they have good specials but lack in areas of meat knowledge...
Haha does someone 'need' a smoker on a trailer? Lol. Does a bear shit in the woods?! Lol Jk. No remmy does have a point...like my father used to say its not owning something that expensive it's maintaining it. Since I now live in the city, I keep my smoker under lock and key in a covered even...
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!

Yea there are a lot in south Texas also, thy do look line a rodent, but more of a pig, and yes very tasty. That's crazy about the domestic pigs maybe I should plan a trip up there and help out talks situation! Haha
Yea I he's south Cali are rampant with the javalinas (smaller wild pigs) as Mexico has a ton and even charges people for guided hunts but they are perfect for smaller smokers!
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...
It's a lot more fun using the "dragons breath" (propane wand torch) you got the right idea FWI! I usually try will get my grill super hit if I run out of propane close the lid then hit it really good with wire brush!
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
