my char griller smoking some
I have not stuck a digital meter in it. I just got a nice 8" stainless thermocouple probe for my Fluke meter. Could bring it home from work for the next smoke. I did check surface temperature with my infrared temperature meter. The surface of the lid did come close to matching the probes I added...- jakesz28

Fire box is 12x12x6. I will pick up a couple bags of lump next time I head to the store. We usually keep the standard old Kingsford's on hand for the grill and Dutch oven.- jakesz28

White Birch
I have not burnt white burch, but I noticed on my char griller. With out sealing the cook chamber smoke was leaking around the lid. I did not have the air vent facing the wind and had heat escaping the air vent. So I found the closet thing I had to fit over the outside of the stack. Slid part of...- jakesz28

Fire management help need for under 275*
I started using wood this weekend. I have a fair amount of firewood for campfires and the decorative fire place. So I took some splits out to the compound miter saw and cut them in to 5 to 8" lengths and chopped them to about a 2x2" square. I had a lot of luck on my first attempt. I used two...- jakesz28

my char griller smoking some
I just picked up a 3" exhaust pipe extension. So the muffler goes back to the shed. Need a 3 inch rain cap or I need to weld in a 5/16 stud for the factory cap to bolt on. How do you guys clean these out in between smokes? Should I be worried about burning off the grates to sterilize them? Or...- jakesz28

my char griller smoking some
While preheating my split/chunks they start smoldering. So watch for a fire while preheating. The charcoal is long gone only coals are from my chunks. I have been able to hit 275 if I want so burning wood and the longer stack helps. Almost time to pull off the smoker, wrap, and rest before...- jakesz28

With the foil on the edges all the smoke is escaping out of the stack and not the sides.- jakesz28

my char griller smoking some
So I have been throwing some chunks of wood in the coals every 30 minutes or so. I burnt some paint off the side fire box so I do have a hotter fire. I need to seal the cook chamber with a gasket. All the extra holes have bolts in them. Maybe I can use some foil as a cheap seal today? The...- jakesz28

my char griller smoking some
A sneak peak at the pork and beans. The brisket is hiding in the shadows in the back ground. My problem is I still could not get above 225 with the vent wide open and the stack wide open. I am not able to turn the char griller so the vent faces into the wind. I felt heat escaping out the...- jakesz28

my char griller smoking some
My char griller smoking some pork shoulder, brisket flat and beans. I thought I would post up how this goes today. I have been having problems getting up to 225 or over. It seems like I was burning a lot of charcoal too. So today I started throwing in some splits. I cut these splits into 5 to 8...- jakesz28
