    New vertical smoker

    The new charcoal pan came in, and it's a miracle. I had no trouble keeping it at 275, over 100 degrees difference without changing coals. Old Chicago style wood fired pizza? At home? In a smoker? Yup. Get a frozen Tombstone pizza, slather it with olive oil, garlic, basil, and grated cheese...

    New vertical smoker

    Well now that I have the doors sealed and the new charcoal pan / tray on the way, I'll see what happens. If the worst I experience is replacing the charcoal pan mid cook, I'll deal with it. Hopefully  those that recommended the WOK pan are right.

    New vertical smoker

    Yeah, it's a Char Broil and after reading a couple of hundred feedback comments I went with it knowing full well its limitations. I'm just not sure about the charcoal brand and controlling the temperature with the four vents. Hopefully others here will have some ideas on my problems. The...

    New vertical smoker

    This vertical smoker in my first of this type, I've used bullet types and had no issues like this. My first use was yesterday and it started off pretty OK at ~225. The top door as expected leaked. Anticipating this I have door seal on order but it won't arrive for a few days. I also ordered a...

    New smoker, having great fun!

    +1, but I'll add playing my guitar while the smoker is on drinking a beer :-)

    Founs a great charcoal "grate" solution

    For my incoming grills' charcoal pan I bought one of these to keep the coal off of the bottom and out of the ash at Amazon. They're a bit pricey but since they're stainless and heavy duty I think they're worth it.

    Grinder advice

    I don't even have the smoker yet (It's in a truck and on the way) and I've downloaded the manual and I have to read about making sausage? I never even thought of it! Thanks!

    New vertical smoker not a "new" smoker (person)

    The manual says nothing about washing or wiping the interior, but to brush veg oil inside and follow the directions. Then it says allow to cool FULLY before using again. ??? Why wouldn't I just add charcoal, wood and throw my meats in and get my first meal going from a hot smoker? What am I...

    Will this work for a smoker?!?!?

    Should work, nice project. A next door neighbor got a hold of one of those large aluminum boxes you see at some intersections for the (I think) traffic signal control and / or lighting in the intersection and made a bang up smoker out of it. He was able to do whole pigs :-)

    Cheap wood chunks & free sawdust

    I was going to make a similar post, you beat me to it... good on ya. Gads, you make BIG chunks, I've only ever made mine 1/2 of that. They smoke fast and stay smoldering long enough. Is there a reason for such large chunks? I've been buying that type of wood for years at Home Depot for my fire...

    New smoker

    Thanks Joe, It looks like they don't have a "wrangler"model but I'm reading the reviews on the "Pecos" now. Yeah, I've had upright smokers and they're OK, they're mobile / storable, and don't take up much room but once I fire one up I'd rather have the capacity of one like the pecos, it's ~150"...
