Here's a great explanation (with pics) on how different vents on a firebox give different results...

Very interesting. Thank You!

BBQchef33 · 03-26-2008, 10:57 AM

wow.. thats good stuff.

Cabntmkr1 · 03-26-2008, 11:22 AM

Very interesting site. I clicked on the "gallery" link down at the bottom and looked at some of the smoker/smokehouses thoses guys have.
I saw several UDS type smokers with fireboxes a few feet away, more for cold smoking I would think.
This guy is using an old tree stump as his smoker!

I followed the links from that page, that looks like a great book! Check out the pics of some of the smoke shacks these dudes built...and lots of Euro UDS's!
I am going to have to pick up a copy.

Great find... the science behind the firebox.
Orderred the book...will be a reserved spot next to my cookbooks.

Worthy of a sticky note?

IMO it's worth a sticky note. Very good information there.

TOPS BBQ · 03-26-2008, 11:33 AM

Definitely great information! Sticky? Yes.

I also looked at the gallery. Couple of neat looking smokers.

Won't be long before someone figure's out how to put wheels and a trailer hitch to it.
