Got Wood.
I well I upgraded today to say the least from Craigslist 275 oil tank smoker with a compressor tank for a fire box. All I can say is wow its a beast. I cant wait to smoke some serious amounts of meat in it. But before then I have few questions.
Do I still assume 1 hour a 1lbs at 200-250 degrees for smoking if I have 100 lbs of butts in 100 hrs your kidding me. So how do you determine how much time for a cook in a big smoker with a bunch of weight?
Next I need help designing a fire basket so I can get a 10-12 hour burn with charcoal. As you can see from the pics the fire box has 4 smoke inlets in the smoking tank. The basket that was in their was a small 12" by 12" basket. If I make a rectangular basket the size of the fire box light it on the left side only the left side will cook faster than right the right side faster then the left as it burns down. Also the air intake in the middle of the fire box. Or do I make say a 3 foot basket and center it?
Thanks again for helping me out.
