    Decided on the old country Pecos smoker from Academy. Now what!?

    Well I have the tuning plates in hand. I may as well give them a whirl. Is using the cooking grate on the firebox side for the coal bed, not too high off the bottom of the box? Seems to me like the fire would be right level with the baffle hole. Not sure if that is the goal. I do understand that...

    Got an old country Pecos smoker from Academy. I think that's the name of it. I thought it would be a decent starter for me. Only thing I've ever smoked was a cigarette so I'm giving this a whirl since I'm almost 30 and need to start bringing something to the table for family get togethers haha.
