    Smoke problems...HELP!

    I'm looking for some advise.  I have a homemade propane smoker/grill (I know, a lot of people don't like the propane route but...) and I can get a lot of smoke out of my smoker box until I turn up the heat in the main grilling area.

    Whole Pork Skin not edible

    I cooked a whole hog for a party I had this past weekend.  I was very disappointed in that the skin on the hog turned out like boot leather instead of being crunchy and good.  That was actually the main thing I was looking forward to because I had it once before with hot sauce and loved it...

    Rotisserie in homemade grill

    I am building a new grill out of a rolled barrel that is 4 ft. long and around 38 in. deep.  I want to put a rotisserie in it but am unsure what kind of motor to use or where to get it.  Any ideas?  I want to be able to put a descent amount of weight on it.  Thanks!

    wood chip problems

    I have a homemade gas smoker built into my grill (I know, you may disagree with gas). The problem I have is if I soak the chips or chunks like everyone says to do, they don't smoke much. More like steam. If I don't soak them, they catch on fire and produce poor smoke. Any suggestions?
