    Wood charcoal vs briquettes?

    Welcome GeoDude! Lowe's sells Stubb's natural charcoal briquets, which are my personal preference as far as briquets go - though I will occasionally also use Kingsford Competition which are also all natural. BTW, all natural means around 95% hardwood charcoal crushed into briquets and 5% or...

    Thermostats for new Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    Manik, the two thermometers I added were the less expensive 1.75" dial Tel-Tru 30523.0006. The probes are around 2" long. They mount through a 0.25" hole with only slight reaming, and are secured by a supplied wingnut on the inside. $24.95 each from www.firecraft.com I located them 7.5" in from...

    Home-Made Fan Assisted Stoker for my Side Fire Box

    Thanks Savannahsmoker for mentioning their name. I found their web site and saw that they offer 3 blower sizes for their range of stokers: 5, 10, and 25 CFM. They do make some pretty sweet looking stokers! Yup, those CFM ratings confirm that my 112 CFM fan, even if it only runs at 40-60 CFM at...

    Home-Made Fan Assisted Stoker for my Side Fire Box

    Yes, I can regulate the current fan to 4 voltages/speeds/airflow-rates that it will start reliably and run at (12, 9, 7.5, and 6 VDC from the small lightweight regulated power supply with multiple voltage settings pictured above), but from the latest testing I believe even the lowest voltage is...

    Home-Made Fan Assisted Stoker for my Side Fire Box

    I did a little more experimenting using several thermometers and some smoky wood so I could watch the smoke flow out the stack, and it seems like I have too much airflow with the fan, even at the very lowest voltage that will run the fan. I'm pretty sure I need to swap out the fan for a lower...

    Home-Made Weber Kettle Charcoal Basket(s)

    Happy to share, and always amazed at how versatile a Weber 22.5 can be! Too bad we can only use the Weber Kettle on the driveway in the summer, since this house gets a real lot of snow in the winter and the plow guy needs a clear driveway to do his thing. I'm just not brave enough to cook...

    Here's a picture of my "fancy" catch can - just a coffee can with two punched holes and some baling wire:

    Thermostats for new Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    Here's a picture of my home-made labyrinth charcoal basket, made from store-bought expanded metal: It's just 2 sheets of 18 Gauge expanded metal (steel) from Lowe's, bought for $10 a sheet - they came 1 foot X 2 feet from the store. I bent both of the two sheets each into a "U" that was 1...

    Thermostats for new Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    Here is a picture that shows my additional "Tel-Tru" thermometers as purchased from FireCraft - they were $25 each: Here is a picture of my interior stack extension I bought from Lowe's for $4: Yeah, it's galvanized but at the temperatures it sees it really doesn't matter - plus it was...
