    Fired up for a Mini build

    I used 2 woods that are new to me. Zapote (a sweet red meated fruit about the size of a baseball) and Nancy (a smaller than a golfball fruit that has a skin similar to an orange with a meat slimey like a grape and a large pit).  Had some leftover for lunch today and it had a great smoke flavor...

    Fired up for a Mini build

    Couldn't wait for the brisket, so started with a chicken. Maintained about 270 for about the first hour, then decided to start playing a bit.  got up to 333 before deciding I better bring it down and get serious. The skin never got crispy but stuck it in the oven a few minutes before we ate. It...

    Fired up for a Mini build

    I found a caned roast beef at the local grocery on my beer run before the race this afternoon. It will make a great ash guard. Now I just have to figure out the first meat to smoke.  my wife ordered a couple of small brisket from our local butcher last week so I need to swing by there tomorrow...

    Only things left are the terracotta base and the ash guard. Still need to get the vents in the base but that won't stop the smokin'.

    Fired up for a Mini build

    After spending the entire morning searching ferreterias for the materials I lacked, I finally got started this afternoon. After cleaning the SJ good I found a couple of holes in the base. I could not find high temp jb weld but found some high temp epoxy putty that worked pretty well. Ended...

    Fired up for a Mini build

    It was good. Had a light smoke flavor maybe similar to mesquite in taste. We'll see what its like after a longer smoke time.

    Could not wait on the smoker build completion to try the Zapote. Seems put off some good smoke. We'll see about the flavor in the chicken.
