    Update on initial run. Most I got for temp is 180*. Went for 4 hours and meat temp was 135*. Nothing to do but finish it off on my Traeger. Running it at 250* now. Shouldn't take too long to get it up to temp. Hope to be able to add additional heat source tomorrow and cook 50#.

    Based on where I'm at, I think I need to be at 100,000 BTU's and I'm at 65,000.

    Regulator is 10psi. Can I go with a larger psi regulator?

    Well problems. I can only get 180* at full open on my camp chef 60,000 btu burner. Can I make a quick metal pipe burner to subsidize the heat in the smoker. Been told I need 225* for cooking my pork.

    I still need to add racks. I have material for 2 at the moment. Where would you locate them to start? Lower, mid or high? I'm thinking about a foot apart and starting a foot below the top. So on and two foot from top on the 5' tall smoker.

    Heat source is a propane turkey cooker.  Sounds like good advice.  Not sure I can get all the pork in one load.  Might take two.  Yeah, its 1/2-3/4" boneless pieces.

    I'm making pulled pork out of boneless chops. It was on sale at Safeway for $1.49. Cheapest protein I could fine. My plan is to smoke with alder and then cook down in water until it falls apart. Then drain and mix in homemade BBQ sauce. Serve over hamburger buns. If anyone has a better plan, let...

    I need to smoke 150# of pork for my church. We're having a festival Saturday the 10th. Yes, this coming Saturday! I've got the smoker test running using some vine maple scraps I have around. Very dry. Keeps catching on fire. I plan on using alder. I've got 3 cords cut. If its really dry will I...

    I burned off paint yesterday. Do I need to get it all off? The metal got to 600 degrees with a woodstove thermometer. I'm thinking that it will never get that hot during smoking so it should not ever put off paint fumes again?
