    :-) I'm one of those guys..... In all honesty, it's just never occurred to me. Through naivety I've just always ran it on 100% wood. I think the issue is that there are a lot of YouTube vids out there with people using larger smokers and talking about fire management.... Which I'm now...

    Sorry, you're going to have to pardon my ignorance............ What's a biscuit test? Is it as obvious as it sounds? :-)

    Fire management help

    So, last Sunday I managed to burn a pretty good fire after using some of your advice.... I burned a smaller, denser coal bed, right up at the back of the firebox and managed to maintain it there with very little unburnt charcoal pieces at the end. I'm in email exchanges with the smoker builder...

    You were right.... I placed my digital probe right next to my analog stem and ran with it there for the entire cook. I managed to keep within a range of 210 - 250f and when I placed the probe back in the middle as a test it was reading around 50f higher. This means I've probably been running...

    All I can do is simply adjust how open the firebox door is as there are no dampers within the door itself. This does allow me to adjust it fairly well though, or at least that's what I think.....

    Fire management help

    The residual ash is a build-up over the length of the cook, not an indication of how large my burning coal bed is, if that makes sense. I don't have a particularly suitable grate so most of the coal bed falls through and sits on the firebox floor. This actually seems to work well though as I...

    Yep, the stack can certainly be removed! I'll have to have a test run with it removed and do some experimenting, like you suggest. I did start to work out the smoke stack length using an online calculator but got confused by something and never revisited it... I'll have to take another look.

    Fire management help

    Yep, I've tested the analog gauge and it is accurate. The smoker builder said he used to use a gauge with a 4" stem but people complained that it got in the way so he shipped mine with a 2" stem gauge. I'll be running the smoker tomorrow so will try placing my digital thermometer next to my...

    Just with the firebox door.... There is no damper on the stack. The grate I'm using isn't standard as the builder of the smoker expects it to be ran with the fire just on the bottom of the firebox but if I do that it all just goes out :-(

    Fire management help

    Hi guys, Sorry, new member here and I stumbled across these forums whilst Googling offset fire management. I've had a 94 gallon offset smoker for about 8 months now and am really struggling with maintaining a good coal bed and generally a good, clean fire. I run the smoker on 100% oak wood...
