    Keeping an offset smoker fire going all night...

    Not sure what a brinkman tle is, but All the basic principles still apply. I always like to remind people "the smaller the smoker, the more attention it needs" stuck burners mainly as the fire can get too hot or to cool VERY fast, grease fires can occur, etc good luck

    Yea depends on your geographic location, some centipedes are worse than stink bugs! Some bugs that fly may try and fly up and hide in a nice cool spot to escape the fire...see where I'm going? ...you never know

    All wood only...

    YES or No...It depends if you use ALL mesquite yea its going to come out nasty and smokey as all get out. If you use Pecan that isn't seasoned at least 9-11 months it will turn the meat, If you use well seasoned wood and hickory oak it is usually fine. If you use all fruit wood sometimes it...
