    My smoker

    Wow, I removed the RF plate that I thought I was adding a baffle and what a difference it made.  Next mod will be a tuning plate.  So far one mod at a time to see what affects the smoker the best.  The test meat was chicken to see how the smoker would do.  So far awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    First Time Pork Shoulder

    Yeah, I have tried crockpot pulled pork at my sisters house and I wasn't a big fan of it.  She asked me while I was building my smoker why not use a grill or even the oven.

    My smoker

    Dave, It is a flat piece of sheet metal.  I have it resting on to brick that are laying down on the far left side.  So basically drill some 1/2 holes 6" in on 3" centers correct?  So about how far should I continue the holes? Mike

    Wow this is very helpful. I thought that I was just adding a baffle and not making it a reverse flow.  Hmmm sounds like that will be the first thing that I will do to it  Mike

    My smoker

    Ok I have used the smoker about 5 times already and it is hungry for fuel. When I built this rig I knew nothing about building a smoker. After I finished it and found this site I read about a pic calculator. So after some number crunching I find out that the hot box is way to big. So I...

    First Time Pork Shoulder

    Shew this is finally done for my first time doing this.  This will be a lot better once I get my hot box sized down like a lot.  Final temp on them was 205* and boy did it fall apart.  I grabbed the bone and it came out so clean not a piece of meat on them at all. So far the family is in...
