    Seasoned or kiln dried?

    What do you recommend, seasoned or  kiln dried logs for the fire and where do you get them or would you always use charcoal with smoking chunks/chips?

    My vertical smoker

    Made some alterations and think we finally got the temp to hold around 220/250f  Alittle scruffy just now but making sure we can maintain a reasonable temp before painting it.

    What Do You Use Briquettes or Lumpwood Charcoal?

    Hi Wade, its a home made one (Heath Robinson inspired) and yes we have an air control problem but are thinking of ways to stop it one being thicker seals on the doors. I've ordered some Heat Mate Resistant Silicone Sealant  to help with this.
