New to this forum, I’ve had a char griller for years, but recently added the offset smoker. I’ve only smoked a couple things in it, and they turned out just OK.
Two-part question:
What kind of charcoal and wood mixture should I be using in the smoker? I found that I added nearly a full 20...
Hey fellow smoking degens. Looking for some advice.
What is the size and reasonable price for a commercially viable used reverse flow offset smoker? Something that could handle the needs of a small restaurant. Ideally its trailered to my truck so I can drive to different restaurants and do pop...
Hi, I have a Horizon 20” Classic offset (0.25” steel) smoker. I’ve been running wired temp probes (ThermoWorks smoke) to my meats. As there is no probe port I run the wires under my cooking chamber door causing a continuous small leak. I run 2-4 probes during a cook. What port do you recommend...

Hi all,
Here’s a few pictures of my offset smoker I built, utilizing recycled metal, mainly. The smoker body was leaking rusty water tank from a concrete truck, the 1/4” boiler plate, 6” pipe and some angle iron came from a scrap metal shop ( connections connections) lol
I purchased new temp...
Hey guys,
I am new to this forum. I am a happy owner of a custom built offset, but I have some minor issues/questions. I'm a long time reader of this forum, but I only recently joined and started posting.
I have posted another question on 'smoker builds', but wanted to ask a second one here...
Hey guys.
I have a custom made smoker, I will put all the dimensions below as info, together with some pictures.
My question to you guys is, why I seem to have trouble keeping my fire lit with my firebox door wide open. When I keep the top door open, my wood burns crazy, but when I close it...

Hello y'all I've recently completed my offset build which is pictured below.
Today I've loaded it up with a few brisket and I"ve noticed that the temp difference from side to side has increased greatly. It used to be within 5-10 degrees side to side now it's closer to 50 degrees difference...
I'm gearing up to build a 20" diameter stainless smoker. One thing I need to find is a 20" diameter stainless steel eliptical head. (Think the top of a propane tank) does anyone have a lead as to where to find one? Preferably in the north west.
Hi,
I have been researching this for months. I've read about the combustion temperature of wood, watched harry soo explain this in a vid as well as several other people and I still cannot wrap my head around this.
Example: Harry soo puts his wood chunks under hot coals and waits to see blue...

I honestly dislike parting with this as it was my dream unit. But we sold our home with the climate controlled shop we stored it in and we don't have enough room at our new place. Always...
Hi,
Just a quick initial review really with a much better set of pictures... I haven't cooked on it yet, just seasoned it a couple of times now (lit it up to experiment with temp etc too) and I am nothing short of impressed so far.
It's huge, especially next to the old char-griller! It comes...
Hi guys, hope I posted in the right place, but have a question about my experience of upgrading from a weber kettle to an Oklahoma Joe recently.
So I start off with a chimney of briquettes and a couple of splits. I have apple, it's well seasoned and all broken down into good 8-10" long 2-3"...
Hey all, first post
I just purchased a cheap dyna-glo wide offset. During seasoning I used a top down method for the first time laying oak chunks and jealous devil around the base of the burner and topping it with jealous devil from a chimney. I got a ton of white smoke for quite a while and let...

at the moment, it's at the top on the side. and i'm planning on moving it as per the below. the current location is really not feasible and it needs to be customised.

Hey, fellow bbq enthusiasts. So I am having a smoker built from a 100g propane tank, and a 40g tank used for the fire box. Just wondering if any of you have a smoker around that size, and if so how do you like the smoker? Any recommendations, tips or suggestions? So far my main request is...
