    I am looking at the backyard jambo pit. It looks like an excellent smoker. I have a Yoder Wichita and not liking it. I had a good resource tell me Yoder smokers was not any good in a polite way.

    Oak Wood? I’m guessing.

    I have a 1/4 cord and all the wood looks like this. I’m not able to provide a picture of the bark. Post Oak doesn’t have a red center that’s similar to mesquite.

    Smoker ?

    I’ve been looking at the Jambo backyard offset smoker. I don’t think anyone could go wrong with the Jambo stick burner. It has a LARGE firebox. I think it’s insulated too. The heat and smoke enters the cooking chamber at grate level. Not below the grate. The exhaust is at grate level.

    Offset Smoker Cleaning - Citrusafe?

    Many in the barbecue competitions are telling us we are cooking not smoking. Visible smoke is dirt. I smoked this beef jerky on hickory and ZERO visible smoke and the jerky had great hickory flavor. Very thin blue smoke is released from wood coals, it’s so thin you normally can’t see the blue...

    Offset Smoker Cleaning - Citrusafe?

    I would really feel citrus based cleaners would be safe. Not trying to be facetious on this next subject but you shouldn’t be having problems with creosote issues. This means you’re not burning your fire correctly. I’ve never once had problems with creosote, well did 27 years ago. Do this -...

    Beef Jerky, How much sea salt to be safe in a food dehydrator?

    I wouldn’t use sea salt. You can get pink curing salt. Pink curing salt is very potent. It can easily get someone sick if use as table salt. It’s something like 1/4 tsp cures a lot of meat.

    Pellet smoker advice?

    I most definitely agree. The pellet smokers would let me get some sleep while my brisket is cooking but the flavor profile is going to be a little different. We have a Dickies BBQ and the restaurant smokes with a pellet smoker. There are only 4 cars there all day long. Rib Crib is one mile...
