    Temp Question

    Oh one more thing. How are you guys starting a fire in your box? Charcoal in a starter and then adding wood on top of that? New to this so I'm not exactly sure.

    Oh and by my best estimate, I think I'll be able to smoke 16 slabs of ribs, also I think I'll max out about around the same amount on boston butts. This is with my current configuration, I'm gonna smoke with this for a while and then later gonna try and add a top couple of racks.

    New Smoker

    Also does anyone know anything about seasoning a tank like this. I've got the tank red hot by building a fire in the bottom of it, But I figured it might be a cast-iron pot were you have to season it with Crisco or something like that. Any help is appreciated.

    New Smoker

    We might have lit it before, I'm not sure. But we started by lighting it with a lighter and eventually it would just light and go out. So we hooked that box up and it kept a constant stark. It was basically just burning what little fumes were in the tank. The flame came no more than 6 inches out...

We left it open with water in it for two weeks, Then we filled it with soap and water marked the holes for the door and started cutting with...

    Peach

    Well with me being new to the smoking, I thought I had better get on here and ask. Just got home from my grandma's, and she had a peach tree and a walnut tree cut out of her yard. I went ahead and took the wood off her hands, so what kinda stuff can I expect from these woods?
