    Before and after pics of my offset

    I think the point being made about possible zinc contamination within the smoker is probably a valid one. It's the same reason that even the lower end BBQ tools are even stainless. When I did the stack mod on mine, I used a section of 3" aluminum flex tubing, similar to the heavy duty dryer...

    First Post & First Fire Tonight! (with pic)

    I've been a long time BBQ fan, and very fortunate to live near plenty of excellent BBQ joints in Kansas City, so I'm not sure why it's taken so long to take up getting the smoke on myself. As a surprise a couple of weeks back on my birthday, my wife and mother enrolled me in a smoking class...
