gosh it has been so long since i have posted anything here, but i took a leap this past weekend and purchased a New Braunsfel Smoker with side fire box.......$150 at
academy. From what i can see the barrel diameter is smaller then the chargrill with sfb and i kinda thought smaller barrel might mean less fuel. But i do have a few questions, i am modifying it like the char griller and the smoke stack comes down to about 2 to 2 1/2 inches from the top grill, is that enough or bring it down to the grill? Second i have read some posts on the minion method of working the firebox and if i use this method should i double or triple stack the charcoal before i put the wood chips in? Thanks to one and all who can give a little advice. Oh by the way qview will be coming shortly too.
