    First smoke

    It's here! First test. 4 leg quarters brined, dried and rubbed, 4 just rubbed, and some rib ends I picked up on the cheap. That's about as hot as I can get my gauge to read without a roaring fire. My digital Taylor says 227. Holding steady with the firebox vent nearly closed. My...

    1st Draft of my smoker build

    Thanks Jack, That sounds like it'd work perfectly. How long would you suggest leaving them in there?

    1st Draft of my smoker build

    Thanks Dave. I'm really starting to get a little concerned over temperature differences within the chamber, maybe I need to take a crash course in thermal dynamics. Other than an obvious hot spot closest to the firebox, should I be able to expect a fairly consistent temperature throughout? I...

    First smoke

    My new custom smoker http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/140447/1st-draft-of-my-smoker-build#post_1025883 arrives from the shop tomorrow and I'm looking forward to trying it out. I've decided on some leg quarters and rib ends tomorrow while I take temperature readings. Thursday will be a rack of...

    1st Draft of my smoker build

    Smoker gets here tomorrow. Along with a load of seasoned pecan. Stocked up on some spare ribs, a pork butt, brats, BBQ sausages, and leg quarters. That'll keep me busy while I'm testing temps.

    1st Draft of my smoker build

    Thanks, I'll see how she does and may implement that later.  One of the things you can't see is a baffle plate in the bottom of the smoke chamber.  I know my temps are higher on the farthest side  away from the firebox, so I'll take temp readings at each level and on both sides, to find any hot...

    1st Draft of my smoker build

    It's been a few months, but I have one heck of in update.  She's turned into quite a big girl, but is nearly done.  A little taller than we planned on, but decided I wanted to use the firebox to sear when needed.  So a little over 7 feet now.  Held 200 degrees for over 8 hours on just 3 small...
