Hi guys, Daz here from northeast england (Durham)
im new to smoking but always been a interest till i got a chance to buy my smoker, its a offset smoker grill and im looking for any tips from start to finish how to use it and what rubs are better on what meat, what fuel, what temperatures any tips will be great
I mean I've got apple and cherry smoking chips and a fire starter also a pretty decent cover, I paid 100 for the smoker itself, but I've noticed gaps in between the fire box and hinge for lids, so I have invested into some high heat seal just to go around, I suppose its a problem with a cheaper smoker (think its a some chinese copy) but is it easy enough to modify to get a decent smoke going and will it have potential?? I hope so...
if not ill just use it for a bbq, i have not even fired it up yet till ive sealed it up with the fire seal, or should i fire it up first and then after ive used it seal it the next day, obviously till it beds itself in?
what you guys reckon?
