    Smoke problems...HELP!

    So I thought I would give you an update in case you ever find someone else with this problem.  I tried a lot of the different suggestions and finally had a thought.....the flame in the smoker was very small.  I thought maybe there was too much of a heat imbalance, so I cranked the heat in the...

    Smoke problems...HELP!

    Thanks for all the input Eric.  The smoker box is not really air tight, but I think it is probably a good idea to put an air intake in the box.  I have tried just lighting the far back burner (which is usually how I get low heat), which is about 8 inches from the smoke box pipes.  I think if the...

    Smoke problems...HELP!

    There is no outside air coming into the smoker so you may be right.... Do you have any suggestions on how to get air in to the smoker box?

    Smoke problems...HELP!

    There is no smoke smell and I do not feel it in my eyes at all when I open it up or am peaking in. Something that I didn't put in my original post is that when I open the door to the smoking chamber the pellets will start smoking again. I will take some pictures and post them when I get a...

    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. As soon as I turn on a burner to bring up the temp, the smoke...

    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!

    Help keeping cooked turkey moist!

    I started smoking a turkey last night at 11 and wanted to cold smoke it for most of the night after brining for 12 hours.  My attached smoker was heating my grill up past 40 degrees so I went ahead and hot smoked it. I took it off this moring at 9:30 and it looks great, however, we aren't eating...

    Butt Rubbing

    Going to try my first butt and I've read a lot of great posts. I'm going to use mustard and a dry rub, but should I do this in advance (say 24 hours prior) or should this be done right before I smoke it? Thanks

    Cold Smoking Turkey

    Maybe I'll just brine it, put in oven and forget the smoking due to my time contraints. Thanks for the suggestions and advise.

    Cold Smoking Turkey

    I have a homemade grill and attached smoker. If I can keep the grill (where the turkey is) below 40 degrees, can I cold smoke the bird and have good results. I am brining it, smoking it early in the morning and finishing it in the oven (I coach and have basketball practice at nine and wife's...
