Faulty welds
Hi Dave, I haven't addressed much, other than I plan to open up the vent into the cooking chamber from the fire box. It was recommended that I remove the part that keeps the vent partially covered. I may open it up little by little to see how the temp improves. As far as the stack is, I won't...- sammy d

Faulty welds
I bought a cooker at a church auction. It was made from a large propane tank. After cooking on it several times I have come to notice several small items that are giving me some concern. One of them being a faulty weld. I see a slightly larger than pinhole sized hole at one of the seams. I...- sammy d

Havig trouble getting up to temp
Thanx Dave. That is something I have thought about. I was thinking if I did it might produce too much heat. I've had that problem on other cookers but they weren't set up like this one. They were more of a grill than a smoker. -
Havig trouble getting up to temp
Hi Gary, I haven't had a chance to work on my cooker yet but I do plan to talk to the builder. I won't be able to do many mods as suggested. I don't have the welding skills nor any equipment. I do however plan to take about1/4 inch or so from the fixed damper from the FB to the CC. I also plan... -
Havig trouble getting up to temp
The wings I cooked Friday came out great and were a big hit. The temp held around 215 for about 4.5 hours. I then put them on the grill for about 10 min to crisp them up a bit.. I want to do something bigger like a brisket or pork loin but I want to be more comfortable with my air flow and fuel... -

Fat or no fat
I'm not much of a competitor when it comes to food. I've learned that what pleases one person could very well repel someone else. I like what I like and for the most part my family and friends seem to enjoy my offerings. I have three cookers that I use depending on what I'm cooking. I do... -

Havig trouble getting up to temp
I just checked the wings. Temp still holding around 210-215. However, some of the ones closest to the FB are done (almost over done) and others around the middle and near the far end are not done. I do plan to stick them on the grill to crisp them up some though. Another thing I noticed is that...
