    gap around doors on smoker

    thanks, my smoker is one that built myself. 24" OD x 60" long made from a piece of steel pipe. It does a good job just trying to keep as much heat inside as possible. I have ordered the black  nomex material  already. again thanks again for all of your help. Poppa D

    gap around doors on smoker

    think if I took some kind of degreaser to clean the silicon side that would be ok. do you think there any chance of the silicone smell getting in the meat while it is cooking?

    gap around doors on smoker

    On my smoker around the bottom of the doors I have a gap that is letting some of the smoke and heat out. Do any of you use the hi temp silicon to help seal off the leak?

    Thanks, I do have two air vents in the firebox one on each side opposite the door. I will just close them off as needed to control the temps. thanks Poppa D

    damper in firebox

    I have a question about putting a damper in my firebox to help control the temp. my firebox is 24" x 24"x  24" with a fire basket to hold wood and charcoal. is this a good idea or not. I control my temps now by adding enough wood or charcoal to keep the temps between 275 & 300. Thanks Poppa D

    meat care

    I had planned on letting the butts sit in a cooler for a few hours with no ice and then put in fridge. Sounds like a good idea to go ahead and cut the meat up as you go. I have never heard of Chef' JJ's sauce. I use a commercial sauce Sweet Baby Ray's. where can I buy the Chef JJ's sauce?

    meat care

    I have a question. if you had to cook 13 Boston butts and could only cook 10 at one time, what would be the best way to store the butts that are cooked while the others are cooking. I usually wrap mine in foil and place in a cooler for a while after they are done, but have never had to cook this...
