    LIFE SPAN OF A BRICK SMOKER

    Well Piano, As far as my arched top goes, the front face will be bricked or make a custom cement insert to mortar in. The back side I am hoping to have a 8x8 square horizontal flue with a hinged door, whether it swings up or down I don't know yet. I also thought of a chute slightly downward...

    Turkey Brine Recipe

    I have this guide for brine. -Rule of thumb is:   Brine twice the amount of time as weight of the poultry (whole).   It depends on depth of the meat tissue is that you are brining also. (breast is great, leg and wing can be a taste of salt but not over powering) -example :  2lb. drum stick is...

    Thanks piano. Spalling happens with the freeze thaw cycles. Great job on your arched top! Awesome, imagine brick and that is mine. Similar low dimensions. Happy new year.

    cold climate brick

    Yes, it will show use and beauty through spalling of the brick. In S.E. Nebraska it can get down to -10* for an average but not long, maybe few weeks through January/ February months for that chance. It usually stays upward to 10*-20* for 30-60 days in our last few years..(global warming ?)...

    LIFE SPAN OF A BRICK SMOKER

    Wes or others, I saw a guy named shaver on the smoke forum saying he found a life span of 10-15 years on a brick smoker due to facial loss on the veneer brick due to the thawing, heat and refreeze.  Do you agree? I understand you applied a "lifeguard" on the exterior of your smoker and...

    cold climate brick

    So with a finish (lifeguard) as Wes W. said he used. Would that not protect the face that you are worried about?  - Is there brick buildings where you live? - These are fully insulated and the veneer brick would remain outdoor temperature only. - I am curious to where you find the 10-15 year...

    Decarch, than you for your time. Very similar to this! 40" wide by 40" deep Which the deep part would not matter as the width with the push.
