    That’s the fire when I’m about to add another stick. Yes pre heat the stick before putting them on the fire. Notice the point side of the brisket is super dry

    Outside of meat dries out very fast on offset

    Maybe a water pan would help but I think there is something else going wrong for me. I’m thinking the air in the smoker is moving to fast but I’m not sure how to fix it and maintain a clean fire.

    Outside of meat dries out very fast on offset

    To start I’ve been smoking meat for 10+ years mainly on WSM and gravity smokers. I’m new to cooking on offset smokers and I have a custom built 80 gallon RF. My question is, how do i prevent meat from becoming overly dry on the outside? I’m usually cooking at 250 +-20. Is that to hot for a...

    Custom reverse flow not working as planned

    I bought a homemade reverse flow from market place for what I thought was a steal (500$ 1/4 steel). I’ve spent the past few days doing practice burns and I’m stumped. The FB side of the CC is always 40+ degrees hotter and I can’t get the middle of the CC over 200 even with a inferno in the FB...
