    Thanks for all the help. Upgrade and ready to go!

    Thanks for all the good reading the past few years. I found a free crummy old water smoker while cleaning out a rental a few years ago. I used and learned on it to see if I would like the process. It was a lot of work to maintain temp, but made some tasty food. I got addicted... Free old...

    Just got a used Coleman Charcoal Smoker...now what?

    Yeah, the MN winters make me wanna get an "easy" smoker...otherwise I will be staring out the window all day. How do you like the elec. smoker? I figure my two affordable options (my kids play hockey) are elec and propane. So what are you doing do with roast? We get a half of a cow every year...

    I am a newbie with the smoker. I have only done some chicken thighs, which turned out good. I still have some things to work on (temps, blue smoke, modify the smoker). I have a Coleman Water Smoker which I need to find a way to get hotter coals. We just got 1/2 a pig last month. There was about...

    Just got a used Coleman Charcoal Smoker...now what?

    Thanks KiwiDemon for the captions! Looks like I have everything here. Gonna be eating BBQ soon! Is that cast iron pan and holes good enough to get a good temp? Are the holes big enough to get air to the heat/ash out of the way? I guess...there is no ring for the charcoal. Is that water pan big...

    Thanks for the reply Jasper7. Its all guess, I appreciate your time....nothing when I "google" it. So I guess using a WSM style to base things on. I know its the one I have. The cast iron does have 8 holes in it. Would I put the coals and wood in the pan? Or just load up the charcoal on the...
