Looks like all is going well. I'm ready for the finished shots and a sammie or 2.

don't be suprised if it takes another 5 + hrs. Gotta figure at least 1 -1 1/2 hrs for the stall.Looking forward to the pics!

Preburing I take it?

 

[morkdach]

ya mean preburning the oak

 

[richtee]

Yea, and well, it's an all wood smoke right? Ya should be preburning it all...but small amounts of flavor wood will work OK.

 

[morkdach]

no its electric and i use charcoal for heat this time i had added a few chunks of oak for a little extra heat outsid temp was 28.

 

[richtee]

Ahhh..OK. But still a preburn on any chunks might be a good idea. Looks like a nice smoke ya got on it so far tho...ENJOY!
