Hello there! So I am attempting to build an offset out of a 500 gallon horizontal tank. I have a question regarding the fb. Right now I have a measurement of 36LX24Hx24w. Will this be sufficient or should I go larger? I was going to use half of a 250 gallon horizontal tank, but those plans fell...
Thanks for a the advice guys.i actually cooked 2 briskets on the top rack yesterday and they came out perfect. The bottom rack was hitting 280 and the to was at around 250-260. I use a maverick et-732. I used a probe for the top center and one for bottom center.
I will definitely take y'alls...
Thanks. My smoker actually is about 30 degrees hotter near tge fb. I am trying to get some tuning plates made to better disperse the heat and smoke.
I am actually cooking on the top rack right now. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the info. That's what I was thinking. Is there a way to fix this? I know the top is going to be warmer since heat rises, so I'm not sure if I should put the briskets up there. I will try to post pics of the setup today.
Thanks for tree responsen Nelly. I wrap all my briskets in butcher paper just after the stall. I am really picky with my briskets as in I try to stay work Angus or choice at the least. I look for good marbling throughout as well.
Briskets were coming out just 5ge wa6 they should, but recently...
Good day. Has anyone had issues with their cc not cooking properly after a top rack was installed? For some reason the point of my flat always dries out and about a quarter of the way in the brisket is cooked like it's supposed to be. I'm puzzled!
Al, thanks for the response. It's actually a 120 gallon custom offset. I put the 2 digital ones next to the analog (in the center of the smoker at grate level) to see and the two digital were reading the same.
Very confusing considering the tel true used to read the same. And they all read 215...
Hey there! Has anyone had an issue where their tel-tru analog read anywhere from 50°-100° lower than a digital thermo at the same grate level? I have 2 digital ones (maverick 733) and did the boil test with them and the tel-tru. They all read 215 on the money.
What would be causing the analog...
Sorry for the delay in response. Got way busier than I should've. Anyway, thanks for all the responses and info. I was planning on working on it today, but as luck would have it is raining again.
Hey Joe, thanks for the response. My cc is just under 5 feet. I guess I could try the convection plate or tusing plates. I was trying to go old school and just have fb to cc.
Should I have the tuning or convection plates made or is there a company out there that sell ls custom lengths?
Hi all,
I'm having issues woth heat in the cook chamber. The middle of the cooking chamber reads 250 on a tel-tru guage, but on the side closer to the fb it reads 300. Should there really be a 75° temperature difference? There's a baffle plate installed right above the fb. Should I angle it...
