Welcome to SMF, might I suggest investing in a couple digital/probe therms. Lets you know what temp you meat is without opening the smoker and loosing heat. Remember Low and Slow, times are only guidelines and it will be done when it's done.(by temp) If you do a butt remember the plateau, DON'T...
Thanks for the help guys, I think I'll get a couple throw-a-ways and try it to see what kind of results I get before I put out the money for the stainless ones. Still wondering what affect the steam will have, the top of the firebox gets pretty hot.
Thought you all might like this set-up for a pig roast. Found it by accident while looking for some info about using firebricks to dampen the hot spot in Buela.

Pig, the best answer I can give you right now is somewhat and I'm not sure.

Chris- can't really see how a deflector plate over the opening would help, as the firebox has 2-6" tubes running from the firebox to...
The manager at the elevator I work at wants a smoker with a center mount internal firebox like my Buela. The barrel we went and picked up tonight is larger then the one I built Buela out of, I'll get some measurements tomorrow and post them. The question I have for you folks is, how can we get...
Time is just a guide line, temp is accurate way to know when a brisket or butt is done. Experience- I've had some smoked boot leather myself, so don't feel bad, and try again with a thermometer. Digitals with leads are great investments.
Welcome to SMF, and enjoy the friendly folks here. Keep asking questions and I an sure we can improve your Q. As for you questions, how long have you had your wood aging-drying, you need to use seasoned/dry wood to keep from having creosote build up. You need to season your wood for 6 months or...
Looks like it's time to start talking to the bookkeeper about a larger toy, or maybe another one so that one isn't so lonely. Good luck with your smoke.
