    Wood Question

    Sure it was termites making holes in the outer bark? I think they would hollow out the inside. If the wood looks good, I would chunk it up. If the bark bothers you, just knock it off with a hatchet. Sounds like a good score too me .

    Have you ever left milk out overnight?

    The sniff test with milk will tell you. If it don't smell sour I'd use it. As soon as it gets an off smell I dump it .

    Who makes their own charcoal?

    Pretty cool system! Can you estimate how much wood you used (both in the kiln and barrel) vs how many lbs of charcoal you yielded? Ok to use a soft wood like pine for the kiln fuel? Save the hardwood for the barrel (coal)?

    Building Charcoal smoker out of freezer

    Continued again :). I wanted the shelves easy to clean, plus I can't weld :). So I made the support brackets removable and a piece of expanded metal drops in on top. The removable cross pieces can also double as hangers if needed. The support bars drop into tab cutouts so they stay in place...
