    Not enough smoke

    Thanks for the info! I prefer not to do any cold smoking, other than cheese's and stuff like that. I'm going to have my welder extend my smokestack and go from there. I'm hoping that will help.

    250 Gallon Offset with Folding Smoke Stack

    How does it cook? Are you satisfied with the amount of smoke on the food? How tall is your smoke stack? I just purchased a 250 and I'm not getting the amount of smoke on my food I like. Barely any. I'm wondering if my stack is too short.

    Not enough smoke

    I placed an oven thermometer on the grate. It's showing the same temp as the ones on the side. Smoked some sausages for a couple hours aft 230. No smoke flavor or smell. I don't understand it. Based on the pic, do you think my stack is too short? Maybe the smoke isn't circulating long...

    Today I am aiming for 250. Before it was 250-270

    Not enough smoke

    No sir, I haven't. That makes sense. My gauges are grate level but there on the door.

    Not enough smoke

    I'm smoking between 250 and 275. I previously had a Old country BBQ pits Pecos and I would cook at that temp and get plenty of smoke. Also using the same wood. I'm about to put two racks of ribs on there right now and close the baffle a little bit to see if that works. I've only used this...

    Not enough smoke

    Hey guys, I recently purchased a 250-gallon offset smoker. It cooks like a champ from end-to-end. Only issue is I'm not getting nearly enough smoke on my food. I'm wondering if anyone else has a cooker of this size, do you use tuning plates? Would that help regulate the smoke? Also do you think...

    100 gallon propane tank

    Hey, fellow bbq enthusiasts. So I am having a smoker built from a 100g propane tank, and a 40g tank used for the fire box. Just wondering if any of you have a smoker around that size, and if so how do you like the smoker? Any recommendations, tips or suggestions? So far my main request is...

    Advice for a larger cook

    Does it do anything negative to the texture of the meat? I'm thinking if doing an overnight dry rub.

    Advice for a larger cook

    Thanks fellas, another question. How long can you marinate ribs using a dry rub?

    Advice for a larger cook

    Ok folks, so tomorrow I'm smoking 6 racks of spare ribs on my offset Pecos smoker. I'm probably going to use a rib rack so they can all fit on there simultaneously. First time smoking that many racks of ribs at once, just wondering if anybody had any advice.

    Mesquite and oak

    A small cook for me would be some chicken wings. Also, trying to be more specific it would be the flavor. I don't really have an issue controlling temperature but sometimes I'm not happy with the flavor in the final result. I'm starting to think that I'm somehow burning the wood wrong ‍♂️. I...

    Mesquite and oak

    Been using this combo for a while now. I love how my long cooks turn out, my smaller cooks- not impressed. How do you all build/manage your fires? (Offset smokers). I only use wood.

    Old Country BBQ Pits Pecos Owners Thread

    Does anyone cook with only wood? Also, are you all getting good smoke rings and smoke flavor? I've owned a Pecos for about a month now. Brisket and ribs turned out great, although I feel my chicken lacked smoke flavor but my wife and kids say it's just me. Possible I've been exposed to too...

    Old Country BBQ pits vertical smoker

    I returned mine after using it for 3 weeks. I was getting the same amount of smoke that you would expect from a pellet grill. Some friends suggested that it's because the smoke stacks are on top instead of on the sides and it doesn't allow the smoke to circulate around the meat. It was a...
