    Propane Smoker Modifications

    Hey all. I have a Weston smoker I am getting ready to do the mod that started this thread. I have a few questions though.

    soot...

    Take the burner apart and make sure there is no obstruction in the burner assy. There might be spider web (yes a spider web will mess it up) or something else in it.

    soot...

    It is possible to soot with propane, if you are oxygen starved. Try opeing the vents on the bottom. You must have a well sealed smoker to get this oxygen started. Like the other guy said, check your supply of smoke.

    Vents on propane smoker

    Ok, now I know how to season my smoker, now I have a question on the vents. Since i assume I will regulate my heat with the burner, do I want to leave the vents wide open, closed. I assume I want to leave the exaust wide open, but what about the two near the burner. Thanks for the help!

    "seasoning"

    Can someone help me with the "proper" way to season my new smoker... Thanks

    You might be a redneck....Stuffed Loin

    Be careful how you cook with aluminum. This is very unhealthy, mater of fact, in the US, FDA laws forbids food touching bare aluminum. Very bad for you.
