    New 55 Gallon Horizontal smoker Pics

    I have tried using the side vents without much luck. I use the charcoal holder inserts from my weber preformer grill on each side of the grill. On an 80ish day with low humidity I fill the chimney starter to the top light and divide the coals in half in the grill. This gets me to about 350...

    I have a 55 gallon horizontal smoker I made from a drum. I cut at 21/2 inch hole on either side and fabricated a swinging door for it. I am having trouble adjusting the heat with these air vents. Anyone have a 55 gallon smoker who could give me some advice? Thanks!!! -John

    Wet vs. dry wood

    I usually soak chunks of wood. i found that if I soak the chunks for more than a few hours it messes up the charcoal. Try soaking chunks for about 2 hours, the wood seems to smolder nice.

    Where to buy quality meat in Mass.

    Can anyone tell me a good spot to pick up some prime beef. I am looking into smoking a brisket and want to make sure I get a solid piece before I do it.

    55 Gallon Smoker

    Thanks for all the imput guys...I think I am going to stick with the lump charcoal which I like better anyways. I am kicking myself now that I didn't add a fire box to my grill. Also, people talked about using just wood (hickory, mesquite,apple, etc.) I have never tried that approach I go...
