    Advice needed: Double barrel smoker piping

    I have added another 5" duct and increased the size of the exhaust to 5" too. I'm now facing some smoke leaks and cold air ingress; so I will be using RTV silicon a lot this weekend. Thanks jayberque

    Wings and whole chickens n stuff

    Hi there, I just did my first smoking batch last night. I smoked 2 lbs of wings as a trial, I did not do anything to the wings other than washing them before smoking. After getting them to 175 IT and cooking them I immersed them in wing sauce that I made and grilled for another 30 min at 200F...

Mine reached 235 F stuck there for a bit then took a dive to 188 F. for the remaining 4 hours I never saw 235 again. Do you know what kind of...

    mango wood

    As promised, I smoked some chicken wings using some mango wood. I have been drying that wood since last september and now it is pretty dry. As soon as I added the wood to the coals; a caramel smell evolved which was very pleasant. The wings came out very good. I do not have any reference to...

    Double barrel smoker

    Today I have made the final modifications to the barrels. I added another 5" duct connecting the two chambers and enlarged the exhaust from 2" to 5". These mods did the trick, I have reached a temperature of 250F and higher :) I just need to control the exhaust with a damper now. Now it is...

    Double barrel smoker

    Hello to all, I have made the following upgrades during the weekend. I have added a new 5" duct and sealed all the leaky parts with thermal RTV silicon which should withstand the heat I suppose. I am planing to test it out today and see it I actually get the desired temperature inside the...

    Phrett, you are correct. I Tested it again using a digital thermometer and 6 lb of charcoal, The maximum temperature I got using a blower was 185 F while the maximum temp on natural induction was 158 F. The problem is as you stated that the two pipes are small so there is not much hot air...

    mango wood

    I will be trying Mango wood soon, I used to spray it with Auxins and Algae extract for it to produce good fruit if that what you are referring to. I am pretty sure that what I am spraying is totally organic since that was the whole point of planting fruits at home in the first place. Will keep...

I don't have the thermometers yet but I think it is around 110-120F (which is practically cold) I was using 6-7 logs of wood and around 2 pounds of coal (I was just testing for leakage so I needed lots of white...
