    Is this gap bad and what mods horizon smoker

    I have a Horizon Smoker that has a small gap like yours. The Horizon with the 1/4 inch steel holds heat so well that the small gap does not really cause A problem since you need a little air to get through so the fire does not go out. I left mine like it was and it is an awesome smoker.

    To Wrap or Not To Wrap

    I wrap with Butcher Paper on Briskets and Pork Butts. They turn out super moist and the butcher paper lets them breathe so you have a better bark.

    Q-MATZ Nonstick BBQ Mats - NEW!

    I just got my black Q-Matz and used this week-end on my Horizon Smoker. What a super product to use on your smoker for fish, jerky, shrimp, and other smaller items. I smoked catfish and shrimp and they came out great. What is nice about the Q-Matz is you can cut them with scissors to fit your...

    Charcoal ash choking my fire

    I have a Horizon 16 inch Offset Smoker. I upgraded my firebox grate to a more heavy duty one that I ordered directly from Horizon the link is http://www.horizonbbqsmokersstore.com/servlet/the-320/Firebox-Grate-HD-for/Detail.

    Mc Cormick's Monteal Steak Seasoning

    I love the Montreal Steak Seasoning. It is my favorite seasoning for ribeyes, brisket, and burgers, and I even love it on smoked chicken. I have not tried it on pork yet.I tried the Weber Chicago Steak seasoning and like the McCormick Montreal Steak seasoning the best.

    Mother's Day Butt Smoke in Horizon with Q View

    I had contacted Horizon about the best place to put the convection plate and they said the same thing, to move it back about one inch from the end of the wall near the fire box. You would think it would let more hot air in on the end, but I guess it balances the temps out. Also, I enjoy tending...

    Looks Great! I have the same Horizon smoker and love it. I have a flame thrower too I got from Home Depot. Also, I had a MES for 2 years that I learned how to smoke on. I loved the ease of use of the MES but was not satisfied with the flavor I was getting. Can you show a picture of your...

    Seeking Advice - Horizon 16" Classic v. Big Green Egg

    I have the 16" Horizon and love it. There is an initial learning curve on the right amount of charcoal or wood to use. I use one container of  lump charcoal in the chimney starter and then add 2-3 Hickory logs and then add one one or two every hour or so. I leave the smoke stack wide open and...

    Grill Grates

    I have a set of three that I use with my Horizon smoker fire box and they are super. Awesome for steaks , burgers, chicken etc. The aluminum absorbs heat and gives a perfect sear and stops flare ups. Also, I use these on my gas grill. They connect together and are easy to clean. Glad I made the...
