    I am terrified

    Civilsmoker got you covered. I add small splits that are dry as a popcorn fart that catch fire very easily and burn. I'll split a fire place sized log into 3 or 4 splits so the splits are pretty small. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/baby-backs-on-rf-offset.317480/

    WHAT WENT WRONG ?

    What casings did you use? Were they smoke permeable or non permeable. IMO If they didnt get any smoke flavor through the cook your not going to get much more. I would peel the casing off and hot smoke em till they got some color and then vacuum seal. My 2 cents

    Door won’t close

    That's a crock...... The manufacturure should have control of how the smoker is built like "quality control". If that's what customers are getting then there probably arent any QC. Who built it?

    Door won’t close

    If the door radius is the issue a jig can run you anywhere from $25 to $200 Can be made from scraps/leftovers or professionally done. Will be a one time use though

    Door won’t close

    IMO the door is warped from heat when it was cut and is now a poor fit. Even with no heat the door can spring open a little and cause a gap. To get rid of the gap you need to make a jig out of heavy steel with a lever that will slip over the bottom door lip then place a 4X4 horizontaly across...

    Propane Setup for large upright smoker?

    I have built many pipe burners....IMO you need an open area(s) under the burner to allow fresh air to flow upwards. If you dont have sufficient air supply around the burner the oxygen will will deplete when it get hot and the burner will go out. I suggest drilling some holes under the burner...

    Meat your Maker Grinders

    Just a heads up......Also from what other members have said about using the mixer attachment with the larger units they tend to not use them after they bought them. They require additional extensive work to clean and maintain them. Its easier to just mix by hand......
