Thin Blue Smoke? How??
Thanks, To all who replied. I may have a combination of too much wood and a smoldering fire. I will try reducing the wood and bringing up th air flow (without increasing temp, thats the trick.) One of the great things about the BGE is it is amazingly controllable but is designed is such a way... -
Thin Blue Smoke? How??
No, "to soak or not to soak" is a topic debated often on this forum. I fall into "not to soak" category. I subscribe to the concept that soaking is good for preventing flair ups, but to avoid this, I use a soak box. I would contend that soaking only causes the wood to produce steam as the... -
Thin Blue Smoke? How??
I am using a large Green Egg to smoke ribs and brisket. I am not sure, now that I have been reading, that I am not making a basic mistake. My smoke is usually white not "thin" OR "Blue". Whats the trick the achieving this? I use lump charcoal and usually oak or hickory chunks. Thanks, Johngil -

Making your own smoker
I understand what you are saying about the uneven heating of the steel. I will take care not to create any "hot spots" when welding on the various door trims. I will admit, I am a bit nervous about the initial cut into the tank. I think I will bring it to the fabricator 1/2 filled with water and...- johngil

Jerky in the Masterbuilt
A jerky gun is a must! I make a lot of venison jerky over the course of a year I get tired of doing all that slicing. If you can simply grind up a couple of pounds of meat, season it and shoot it onto a jerky rack its a lot easier. I went so far as to make my own Jerry board. I purchased a...- johngil

Making your own smoker
Good advice Steve, Thanks. I don't have the tank yet, I am picking it up this week. I am having a Fabricator cut it for me since I don't own a Plasma cutter and I want nice, clean cuts. The safety issue is a definite concern, thanks for bringing that to the forefront of the conversation. I have...- johngil
