New Smoker Build
Ok, got a new question for you. So with firebox that's 20" diameter 14 inches long and a cook chamber 20" diameter 30 inches long I needed a 4 inch smokestack that was 17.5 inches. Instead of putting it in the top of the smoker I put it coming out of the middle of the far side. Now being that it...- sankie13

New Smoker Build
I'm using Feldon's calculator. I have no problem with a 12 inch firebox which would be just a hair oversized supposedly at 40% the chamber size but I'm afraid it might not be wide enough for the logs I usually get from HEB. I can always chop them in half I suppose, I cut the chamber today at...- sankie13

New Smoker Build
Ok so if a 12 inch in length firebox with a 20" diameter is big enough that puts me at a firebox 40% the size of my chamber which is the same 20" diameter by 30 inches. That was my original plan but was thinking about going 16" to fit the logs which like you say may not be beneficial anyways.- sankie13

New Smoker Build
I'm in the process of designing and building a new smoker. The one I have now is cheap and leaks smoke and air, so like many before me I'm going to take the plunge. The main reason for this is mainly I enjoy building things but also I have most of the materials free in the form of old scrap...- sankie13

Making jalapeno cheddar venison sausage.
Got a question regarding food safety with some sausage I'm making. I ground and mixed in all my seasons on Saturday. I had plans to stuff the sausage the next day but my casings got delayed, they came in today and I am going to stuff them and planned to smoke tomorrow. Is 4 days in the fridge...- sankie13

Andrew down in Corpus Christi
Hello guys, I just bought a Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker a couple days ago, broke it in with some ribs yesterday for the new year, they turned out pretty fair. Been wanting to get into smoking for a while now, I do a lot of deer hunting and am starting to get tired of paying someone to...
