    2 kegs

    I recently came into possession of 2 kegs, both of which have cracked valve necks. Anybody ever converted one into a smoker?

    Wood Smoker - Water Pan or Not?

    I didn't mean to not use a water pan, because I also have an offset and at one time I used water. I just switched to sand with a cup of water or so added to it. The meat in my smoker stays nice in moist. Thing is, every smoker is different and some are sealed better. Sand in my opinion just...

    Wood Smoker - Water Pan or Not?

    Water pans in an offset aren't really that necessary. Generally the best thing they do is catch drippings to control what can be a mess, along with being a heat sink to retain heat when the occasional need comes along to open the smoker door. Other need for a water pan would be if the air is...

    Hello from Kansas

    Howdy Coach, welcome to SMF. I live up here in McLouth and my smokers consist of a UDS, a homemade offset, an ECB and a gourmet electric. To your Wichita Yoder model we go. I would say load her up with some lump and bring her up to 350 or so and keep it there for between 4 to 6 hours. That...

    ? on how much cherry wood

    How long you apply smoke comes down to 2 things. Your personal preferences and the cost to use the wood through the entire process. Most will tell ya not to use the wood for more than half the time, mostly because after that the meat doesn't pull the smoke flavor in as easily, the other reason...

    smoking squirrels and chipmunks

    When your a stockman by trade or just have a few cows or horses, chipmunks are about as welcome as praire dogs, moles and rats. They dig holes and tunnels that take a prize head of beef and make hamburger. Not to mention, they gtet into feed bins and eat the grains. I put the size up about...

    smoking squirrels and chipmunks

    I smoke squirrels as well as grill them. Wrap in bacon, with just a little garlic and salt/pepper, smoke at 190 until they are 168 to 170 internal. Using oak or mesquite on them is my favorite. Great stuff. Never done a chipmunk, but they would definitely be small, about the sixe of a turtle...

    Apple, cherry, mesquite are three favorites. The wife doesn't like hickory and we don't use pecan that often.
