That's awesome! I hope you enjoy it!

They naturally drop down when they burn up smaller than the grate the coals normally sit on. Somtimes if the whole bottom gets filled with ash you kinda have to start over and clean it all out so the air can feed the coals.

Your welcome! Lol I've come along way from this but still love this old smoker.

O man, maybe next time!

Hey thanks!

If s fire starts choke the air down and put some pre soaked wood chips on top of the flames to dampen it.

@@pubstratgaming6224 thanks

What does opening or close the side vent do???

@@CookNComedy the side vent allows more are to blow onto the coals and give you more heat. The chimney cover also does the same thing, but allows it the draw or pull the air up. Play with both to get the temperature you are looking for.

You're welcome!

My pleasure! Glad i could help. 😀

I think it was 8 hours. Hard to remember though. One thing you can do if you are pressed for time is start of by smoking it. Never really let the smoke let up. Then wrap it in tin foil and finish it in the oven at the higher heat.

@@pubstratgaming6224 thanks. I actually started a few hours ago. Good is, it's Labor Day, nothing planned, just enjoying the time genuinely smoking something. Anything... thanks again.

Great advice! Thanks for the comment and tips!

Do you line the bottom of the grill with aluminum foil and then add charcoal?

@@danielleg2616 That would work just fine, but don’t lay the coals directly on the foil because it will just burn through. The foil is more of an easy clean up precaution. I use the 18” wide heavy duty aluminum foil. Reynolds is good, but great value has the same stuff, same sized roll for a buck and a half less. When your grill or smoker cools down and you can safely touch it, empty the ashes and remove the spent aluminum foil. If it’s not horribly burnt or completely covered in grease, check underneath for moisture. If the ashes sit too long in the grill or firebox/ charcoal chamber, they will attract moisture and it actives a chemical reaction that eats away at your grill faster. The grease flare ups suck, but having the bottom of your box collapse in the middle of cooking is soul crushing and dangerous of course. If you’re using it to line the smoke chamber on a smoker, it too can accumulate moisture underneath if it’s cooling down in cooler temperatures. But start lining it in layers from the drip hole end and line it the next layer slightly overlapping towards the firebox. This way the fat and grease runs down it like shingles on a roof if that makes sense. P.s. I used the Copper Silicone Sealant from the same company instead of the red because it is higher temp rated.

You will love it!

i used red because it was the only available in my area at the time. 🙂 yeah i got some high temp black engine spray paint that works well for the outside.

you're welcome! thank you for checking it out!😎

great idea!

I hope you enjoy smoking some awesome meats!

Great advice!

Thank you

No problem my good sir.

The char broil is definitely a good start if you don't know if you enjoy smoking meats or not. So they are more entry brand quality. The silicone is to seal anything that can leak smoke/air. It gives you more control over heat and let you smoke the meat better. If you don't silicone it just leaks smoke everywhere instead of going through the chimney pipe and going over your meat.

You're welcome. Thanks for the comment!

Off amazon.

Definitely ordering one I have been just trying to smoke off my Weber grill but I don’t have a temp gauge so if I try and do pork slab I can’t regulate the temp

What silicone did you use

I would think a small 9-11 pound might work. I raise my own 30-40 pound Turkeys and those would not fit at all.

@@bsnuff2002 thank you, i have 4 adults to feed and two-3 kids hmm thanks i ll keepe researching it

If you use it to smoke a turkey it will probably be cold outside as well. You may need to start the turkey in the smoker for about 4-6 hours to get a nice smoke char. Then move it to the oven to finish.

You can totally use it as a grill. And a smoker.

You're welcome!

Yeah it really helps having some wet wood chips to calm it down.

Something like this. www.ebay.com/p/13007609503?iid=171243780570&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=171243780570&targetid=883446499809&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9059663&poi=&campaignid=9426387564&mkgroupid=95112701705&rlsatarget=pla-883446499809&abcId=1140476&merchantid=101972337&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoPL2BRDxARIsAEMm9y9dsWkbH5KCjS4SNd_nNiWmSSoHFQ_S0nLibPQb1oEGYNwJ5HUt9loaAgbLEALw_wcB

Lol yes indeed.

You are welcome! Thanks for tge comment.

The main isssur is just keeping anough coals and wood smoking BUT not on fire. Thats why i use the big wood chips to make a decent heat going and then smother it if it gets on fire with the soaked small chips. Hope that helps. 🔥🔥

Absolutely agree! Definitely a intro smoker, to see if one likes it.

Did you get one?

We can use smokers in Canada, during the winter, for sure. I have a pellet grill which holds temp just fine. Offsets you may want thicker gauge steel ones for better heat retention. Such as a yoder. But it would just be more fire management, using the offset smoker.

There are two models of this. One is bigger and the other smaller. This is the smaller one with no shelf. Your buddy must have the bigger model. 🙂

PubStrat Gaming I dunno man, it doesn’t look big at all. I’m actually going over there sometime next week, but I’ll take a closer look at it.

Hey good luck! I hope it turns out amazing

I'm not sure but i can measure tomorrow. Are talking full length or cooking area?

PubStrat Gaming cooking area

Thats a great deal! Sounds like a great meal you cooked up. 👍

@@pubstratgaming6224 definitely

You know im not sure. I bought mine as an actual smoker kit. I'm not sure if we have the same model as mine came with all parts needed and all fit together perfectly.

Glad i could help! Keep on smokin'.

Google trufigcd addon via curse gaming or twitch addons.

@@pubstratgaming6224 ok thanks

No problem. There has been some issues with it in bfa. So im not sure if it's currently working.

@@pubstratgaming6224 ok thanks for the help. i olay holy priest aswell and i have bin looking for this addon for a long time and i could never fined it

Glad i could help!

I get my charcoal going good,then I put the soaked chips on but it makes me lose the heat and have to restart it, etv

Have you tried getting your coals good, then putting bigger dry wood chips on? Then if it gets to hot you can put the wet chips on.

I guess that was my problem getting in a hurry and putting the chips in before the fire gets going.

Well smoking is an art. I'm sure you will get it down!

Hey watch this at night and it will help you sleep.🙃

@@pubstratgaming6224 thats a fact.🙄

Whats a long time? I can make it work for about 2-3 hrs with a deep coal bed and smoke chips on it. Thats about it.

You get a better offset smoker

Awesome! Glad it helped!

Depends on the amount of smokey flavor you want. You can smoke it for a couple hours and finish in the oven if you want.
