Anybody have any info on the Red Box Smoker by Sweet Swine o'Mine?? Looking at purchasing this little smoker to add to the collection.
I have seen some cooks on the RBS. They claim the it cooks hotter with the water pan empty.That's what I was seeing, I have a modified brinkmann trailmaster for big cooks that I love. But I thought for the small cooks this would be perfect if it was a good little smoker. I can't find any reviews on performance anywhere lol.
I think it'll do well by you. I bought my Patio back in 2001 and it's been a solid smoker. It's due a refurb this Summer the paint is pretty bad, all the seals need to be replaced along with the temp gauge but it still cooks great. I can get 4 pork butts in there and they come out tasty (even though it leaks badly and looks like c***) . Need to do a new fire box for it too.Thanks bbq willie I appreciate the info, I'm very seriously considering this smoker
Nope cutting the bottom out and replacing with expanded metal won't effect the amount of coal you can load one bit. Cut the bottom out and leave a 2" lip all around. Place the expanded metal on the bottom of the pan resting on the lip. Lay your coals on that. As the coals burn the ash will fall through the expanded metal and onto the cookie tray below. The air draw for the firebox is on the front bottom of the fire box door so keep that area clear or you'll choke the fire.Man thanks a lot for the info Willie!! I am pulling the trigger on the smoker next week when I get my fantasy football winnings lol. That's a great idea for the ash!! I was worried about the build up & your solution sounds perfect. Will cutting out part of the coal pan limit the amount of Coles I can use?? I'm trying to picture how exactly to do the mod to maximize cook times.
