After all of the mods i did to the smoker i can get the smoker to 400-450 and keep it there for 3-4 hours .

What kind of smoker do you have?

 

[ravenclan]

i have the walmart charbroil offset smoker , it took alot of mods to get it to smoke the way i wanted it to work , i talked to Rivet on this forum and you can also search for offset smoker mods to see pics of what others have done.

after all the mods i can keep the smoker at 200-230 for around three hours before i have to add more wood or charcoal , after all the mods i really like my offset and i and the family think the food especially the brisket , tastes alot better.

Didn't you say 400-450?

 

[ravenclan]

Yes i did ! but i dont smoke at that high of a temp , then its called GRILLING.

i do  the 400 temp to season it after it sits for the winter and to make sure there is no bugs or anything growing in there since it does sit outside.
