    fresh cut shagbark hickory. how long after it goes thru wood chipper can it be used?

    For wood chips i fill up a mesh  onion bag and hang the chips from the shed rafters for at least 6 months The drier the wood chips, the better smoke they will produce!

    Finally got the smoker, had some issues with Walmart.  Man they are horrible to work with.  When I received their shipment the smoker was all damaged, dented and scratched, box was crushed and in terrible condition.  I was not paying top dollar for a piece of junk!  Then they didn't want to...

    Need help selecting new cooker

    what i highly recommend  is to get yourself a good digital meat thermometer.  i have found minor temp variation as well when cooking.  i cook to the desired internal temp of the meat and dont really worry as much about the temp of the grates.  I also like having the second meat probe so i can...

    Need help selecting new cooker

    Congratulations!!!  You will love it!  I personally dont think you need to line the bottom with bricks.  It will make cleaning out the ash more difficult.  I just use a shop vac to clean out the ash.  The grill maintains temp easily without the bricks.  Also there is no need for a water pan...

    Need help selecting new cooker

    Golfer i dont think you can get the Jim bowie gmg for under $1000, but i do know you should be able to get the daniel boone with a remote control. For me i find the daniel boone to be plenty sufficient as far as cooking space goes. Good luck!

    Need help selecting new cooker

    Golfer, I think there is an accesory shelf you can get to fit inside the jim bowie too. I have one for my daniel boone and i am sure they have one for the jim bowie too. it works awesome in my grill! Ask the dealer about it. I also have the remote control on my daniel boone! Trust me its...

    look at the green mountain grill daniel boone!  its not much more than the treager and the temp control is second to none!!  You will not be disappointed!  The grill is awesome,  and in my opinion it is much better than the traeger.  You will not be disappointed!

    Smoker Recommendation

    Sam3, I was the same way as you in not wanting to invest 4 figured into a grill!  I am very satisfied with the Green Mountain Grill Daniel Boone with remote.  It truly puts out incredible food!  and the remote control is awesome in winter!

    Smoker Recommendation

    I highly recommend the Green Mountain Grill Daniel Boone model.  I have one and it is awesome.  Mine has the remote control so that I can monitor the grill temperature, food temp and amount of pellets in the hopper from the inside of my living room on those cold winter days!.  I have also just...

    How deep to put leaf compost

    I highly recommend in your clayey soils that you till it in and get it into the top 8 to 12 inches.  As far as the soil structure goes you actually want to increase the pore space between the clayey soil particles to help make for a more organically rich soil. Go ahead and break up that soil...
