Well I built this. Now what? Any suggestions on what to add or how to keep the thing hot? :icon_shy
I would add some charcoal or wood and start a fire.
I would agree the firebox does look a little on the small side.Good lookin smoker! Firebox may be a lil on the small side? the 5" is probably most your heat issue though.
P.S. are there any vents on your firebox??
That is a common mod and would do it of you can.I slid a 4" pipe down in the 5" pipe I can lower it to the level of the racks or lower. Any thoughts on bring your stack down inside to the level of the rack for better heat controll?
Is the firebox door just at the top of the box or is there another one at the bottom? The longer you burn, the more ash you will have. Different charcoals produce different amounts of ash. I'd add a fire grate if you do not have one. That way you can just shovel out the ash through out the cook allowing better air flow to the fire.Well I was hoping to use the door, but last night I found i may need something else. To much ash too.
