Welcome to the board, David! You'll find plenty of advice and experience here. Look up the OK Joe in the Search here to see how people use/modify them.

Howdy David,

     I am a relative newbie also, but have learned a bunch of ways to spend a "smoky weekend".  Best of luck in finding a good stick burner, use a propane one myself, but trying to get a mobile stick burner....my trouble out here on the prairie is there just isn't much wood. lol
