    Brisket - Two Stage Cooking?

    I actually did a split smoke with a 6 pound brisket with charcoal and wood chunks. It went in for about 3 hours of smoke at 230, then was cooked for another 3 hours the next day with a short trip to the grill to make sure the internal temp was right. I have been experimenting with a big...

    Double Oven Conversion project:

    Double Oven Conversion project:

    The Double Oven Smoker is now complete and functional.   The blast gates work well as vents.  There is one on each side of the firebox, and one at the base of the chimney. Each 4" hole drilled through the walls of the stove went through the inner enameled steel shell, fiberglass insulation...
