Well it is finally here, my COPD has gotten to the point that I need to be on O2 pretty much all the time. I usually only needed O2 for exertion and Exercise. When I smoked I did every thing off O2, but this last time I got really bad out of breath, checked my O2 levels with a pulse ox when I went out to wrap the ribs and worked the fire up in the pit..lol...when I came back in, I checked, I was at 72%...omg most people would pass out in the mid eighties. So I am thinking I can't do that any more, and strolling up to a smoker with open flames wearing an oxygen mask is a really bad idea...lol...the old roadrunner cartoons where the coyote blows himself up come to mind...lol...so the stick burner has to go I think, but was wondering maybe I can get an electric smoker, I think maybe I can wear my oxygen around it. Has anyone here still do smoking using oxygen, and if so how you doing it, what kind of smoker ...etc...I really want to continue smoking, I love this stuff, but not enough to blow myself up
