We are getting ready to move back to my hometown and decided the less we have to transport to the new house the better. So, the more I empty out of the freezer, the better the move will go lol. I pulled out a rack of St. Louis spares and a 2 pack of tenderloins, not quite empty, but a little...
That makes a lot of sense. Ive noticed these ugly drums seem to rely on minimal airflow because they are so air right. That’s how they maintain temps so great. I could definitely see how an exhaust fan in you garage could create more draft through the smoker, especially if they are close...
