Im gonna call BS on this video, cuz I didnt once see you open up or drink a drop of beer while lighting the fire. Maybe its just my cooker, but she wont get burning good unless there is a beer being drank close by.

Nice work fellers!

Gotta agree with TB, beer would make the fire start easier and faster!

Very helpful video guys, thanks. A couple of questions. This is my first smoker build and cooked twice. I've been using charcoal for fuel and hickory or apple for smoke. I see that your using mostly Oak and some coal for fuel. 1. Are you using the charcoal to light the Oak and the oak is your source of heat and then when your ready to smoke you add some other wood? 2. Does the oak affect the taste of your food? 3. I've been having trouble maintaining 225 -250 degrees and was wondering if because of the crap small chunk coal I'm getting if it packing to tight in the fire basket and choking the flow. Any ideas or suggestions on that?

The Czar · Post by **The Czar** » March 14th, 2012, 2:10 pm

Mainly we use the charcoal just to start the wood for the smoke.....we have been using hickory for main smoke and just throwing in some oak....about a 80 to 20 percent ratio....

Using charcoal as the only fuel source probably won't work in a reverse flow?
