For mine, I've been using the short Western Wood logs from Academy as it an easy trip for me rather than spec out some firewood seller. I got/use the therms that Academy sells. They're fairly good for the most part but would go w/ a TelTru over it if I wanted to spend money on one. I would say that the shorter stem would be better just in case of getting a false reading from being too close to meat. I found that the best positions on mine are the top & bottom holes so have one in each. I use a bed of coals of the red bag B&B briquettes (little round extruded tubes) or green bag B&B hickory lump w/ a log or 2 depending on what's in the bag I got to get my fire going at 275ish. Once going I can get 30min-1hr depending on log size (is piece from limb or trunk of tree?) For me it takes normally 30min to 1hr to get fire burning right & to temp & smoker all heated up depending on logs/weather conditions. I set my next log on the fire on the side shelf to heat up that way I get a slightly better burn from it when it goes on the fire.

Hogzillas, if you don't preheat the splits how do they burn? I thought kiln dried wood burned pretty easily.

I get a little more white smoke for a longer period of time when I don't & it seems like the logs just catch better when they're closer to fire temp. It could all be in my mind though as it can be off at times

Found a few of the original smokehouses
Hello All. I'm new here but been following this thread a while. Got lucky and found a deal I thought I'd share. Just picked one of the models like the OP’s....3/16 walls! In Uvalde TX.
https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/fo...344305758.html As of yesterday there were two left....on closeout for $725.....told me that was their cost they are just trying to get rid of them because they did not sell well. |

If the original price was $999.99, I think it is the big brother of the Smokehouse... just like how they had the big brother of the Over/Under at Buc-ees for $999.99.

It could be a different animal- that's a fact. Not much way to tell from the pictures. If it IS a bigger OC Smokehouse than what Academy sells (sold?), it might be a good deal.

Looks like you're paying more for an extra grate level and slightly taller firebox. I would buy it!

Academy series is mostly 14 gauge stuff per Academy for weight n cost. Black name plates are lighter gauge series and silver name plates are heavy gauge series. QC is a lil better on the Heavier gauge stuff - much like a Pecos vs a Brazos at Academy. That's a Great price. A couple local Fab guys told me $1100 -$1200 to make a 3/16" Smokehouse copy.
