    How to season or seal

    Cooking oil and or spray isn't necessary and has nothing to do with seasoning your smoker. Yes it will help stuff keep from sticking to a point, but not a must thing to use. A preheated smoker is key and will also help from any condensate which is produced from cold smoker start-up temps and...

    File Cabinet Smoker?

    Hello 3672, Sounds like you have an interesting build idea going on.    You're spot on with  the paint being an issue, so unless you have a easy way to remedy that obstacle?

    New from Northern CA

     To the SMF Rob!  Congrats on your wedding also.  To answer your question on the fishy taste transferring to your meat, Cold smoke no, hot smoke maybe?

    Fresh is best hands down. Some waste from dry aging and or freezer burn is to be expected if a person is unable to process ASAP. Some loss is still better over having to garbage can the whole works. 100% spoiled meat is just that! The dog will even turn his nose up to it and I have seen him lick...
