I always assumed adding smaller splits would have a quicker/higher temp jump than adding a larger log.

My opinion, an offset needs to be 1/4". Less than that requires too much work. It can be done but I think even I would throw in the towel. Sometimes when I'm at Academy I will look at the Old Country smokers. The fit/finish is horrible and the metal is thin. I can see how it would be a lot of work. No way it holds much heat. On my offset the coal bed can be almost gone and it will still be 200*. Thats not going to happen with thin metal. The temp is going to reflect the size of your fire.

well, I am here to let you know, you put a big split in the box and it catches ? - game over. once it catches flames its going to be way hotter than a smaller split because it has more surface area releasing BTUs into the cooker. |

1. does it interface through the tappecue cloud or just through your home router? if their cloud is down does that mean your unit wont work? 2. does it have an option for fan control? a heatermeter is about the same price and it does not use a cloud server. you can access the heatermeter ip address directly through a port, and it will control a fan for even more temp control. that's what Ive experience. yes. |

As a chef by profession my daily life has been to make the best of whatever tools and ingredients are at hand. I was just pointing out that charcoal and embers are different, and you seem to like cooking over embers. With the increasing popularity of stick burners, many have forgotten the great art of cooking over logs freshly burnt to embers and shovelled into a pit. It's a killer way to smoke food that is also a huge favorite of mine when i've had the chance to attempt it, and the results are fabulous.

yes sir! as I said earlier in the thread, the best heat and smoke out of my stick burner was when it was down to the glowing embers and there was no smoke emanating from the cooker. It just smelled like heat and it was awesome. When I put my hand over the exhaust the smell was just pure. now, Im not going to pretend like I know anything about anything, so maybe you can help. in my limited understanding wood becomes embers when everything else is burned off and all that's left is carbon? and lump charcoal is carbonized wood? now the heat I got out of the glowing lump charcoal smelled and acted like the ember stage of wood. Pray, tell, what are the differences between red hot fresh embers and red hot lump charcoal? (btw, I still have a bunch of pecan logs left. Guess whats going to be made out of them ) |

Charcoal is made by super heating wood in an environment lacking oxygen, where as log embers are...burned down logs from a fire.
