    smoking in the wind

    Thanks for the input. I dont have any vents on the bottom to control airflow. It is open all the way around the bottom with the propane burner mounted. I wrapped alluminum foil around the base and left enough to still pull enough of a draft to burn cleanly. I think it did the trick. I am holding...

    smoking in the wind

    Hey all,   I am about to fire up the smoker and the wind is quite "refreshing" today. I have a Brinkman vertical gas smoker. Do I need to worry with the wind, will it mess with the temp? What could I do to fix it all? Thanks!

    needing some guidance for my first fatty attempt

    Hey all,    Trying my first fatty tomorrow for company coming over for supper. We are going to try a breakfast one with hashbrowns, eggs, and cheese. Do I cook the eggs and hashbrowns first and then wrap it all up? Also, about how long and at what temp should they go? Thanks for any help!

    cutting wood

    Hey all. I have a large hickory tree at my disposal and am going to cut a few logs off for chunks. How do you go about it? Do you need to avoid cutting it with a chain saw because of the bar oil? Also, hickory is hard as can be to split? Any tricks of the trade for getting it into small enough...

Is this still charring, or are we getting into burning? Its about 200 degrees in there and I am wooried any hotter and my wood will catch...

    Question while I smoke

    Hey all, I have two butts in the smoker as we speak for my inagural boston Butt run. Had a few questions about smoke. I know that TBS is what is desired. It looks like I am producing white smoke. It is fairly thin, but it burns my eyes when I take a whiff. Is that ok or do I need to make some...

    Few questions before smoking my first butt

    Smoking my first butt in the morning and had a few questions. First, I just got some hickory chunks and fired up the smoker to play with the smoke. I only put three pieces in and let them sit for a while. I never got any smoke at all coming from the smoker. Picking the wood up, it was charring...

    Green wood

    Hey all,   My dad just got a few huge hickorys topped and I am going to chop them up into chunks. Can you smoke with green wood? If not, how long does it need to dry before it can be smoked?
