    Modifying a Yoder Witchita

    Cooked yesterday, I really didn’t change anything from the last. Kept the firebox grate in. Totally different cook from the last. Not sure if it’s a fluke or what. Was able to keep the fb door closed and the vents pretty much fixed. Nice thin blue from the time I put the log on to...

    Modifying a Yoder Witchita

    Added section of exhaust to get it to 29”, and took the fb grate out and made my fire on the fb floor. Exhaust Made mostly no difference in the way it cooked. I struggled keeping a good fire with no grate, to the point of having a decent coal bed that just kinda snuffed itself out and...

    Modifying a Yoder Witchita

    Well, it helps when you search for the right terms I suppose. I didn’t know the opening from firebox to cook chamber was called the throat until now, so this afternoon I googled witchita throat and low and behold found 3 threads on the subject, along with the firebox being mounted too high...

    Modifying a Yoder Witchita

    Yes, I did. It is a heat management plate that goes in the cook chamber. the end of it is bent at a ~45 angle and it gets shoehorned in up against the cc/fb wall. The goofy crumpled looking stuff up top is some foil wrap I jammed up there to block some air flow bypassing the plate I...

    Modifying a Yoder Witchita

    First post here but I was over at the smoke ring for a while then drifted away and now see it’s no more so here I am. Unsure where to stick this since it’s a commercially produced smoker and not a fresh build so hopefully here is alright. I bought a loaded witchita 12-13 yrs ago and have...
