    My brick smoker is my only one

    I'm glad there's a section for brick smoker owners.  I've been real pleased with mine over the last couple of years and all of the work was worth it. First course was a daunting task. The wood box and gas grill enclosure were coming along. Soldier course mixed things up a bit. The...

    Using wood that is not "seasoned"?

    I have plenty of seasoned oak and hickory firewood with which to start the fire and smoke meat.  A friend of mine had several cherry trees dropped and cut in firewood length sections about a month ago.  The wood has not been split yet, but I was thinking of getting some and throwing in a few...

    Tallahassee

    I stumbled onto this forum by searching for smoking "potatoes" of all things.  I spent 6 months building a brick smoker off my back patio.  I started my first fire in early December 2012 and smoked my first ribs on it not long thereafter.  I now look for any opportunity to have people over so I...
