A tip for the fire box, I stack up fire brick along the walls of my fire box with heat Bricks. It helps the smoker run more efficiently and will protect the paint a lot longer too

Yup! The paint always burns off, it rusts and looks like crap. When I had an offset I used another piece of sheet metal inside as a baffle and the paint never come off.

That method is called the minion method. Ive build charcoal baskets like that for all of my smokers. They work good on a long smoke. You got a good unit there. I would suggest you get a BBQ guru, I found that when I run under mine under my patio I don't get as much draw on the chimney. Also I would not put water in the bottom of the smoke chamber, it gets pretty messy. I would use a water pan. Season it up and make some smoke. You stated at the end you are right they are to big for just that one item smoke. I don't have any small ones I've got three 30" x 48" I only use them twice a year. I think I need to build a smaller one for just the wife and I. Thanks for sharing.
@buckhorncortez4 жыл бұрын
Nope not true. The "Minion Method" is named after Jim MInion the guy that invented it for use with the Weber Bullet. Place a small number of hot coals on top of a full charcoal chamber of unlit briquettes, and then control the burn rate by adjusting the bottom vent. If done correctly, you can get to 18 hours as the briquettes are progressively burned. The LSG is setup to use the "fuse" or "snake" method where the fire slowly burns the string of charcoal when it's started at one end. You can reference the Weber website where Jim Minion describes how he came up with it: tvwbb.com/threads/history-of-the-minion-method.21136/ OR you can reference Meathead Goldwyn's book "The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling," page 131.

Stacking wood next to your house is not a good idea. It invites termites. The best would be somewhere along your fence away from the house with some type of cover to keep it dry. Wood in my part of WV is around $40 a truckload. I always thought that was expensive.

That smoker is a tank!!!!! Have you ever used Chinaberry as the smoking wood? A friend from Mississippi introduced me to using Chinaberry. To me it sounded totally foreign, but I gave it a try, and for anything poultry, it is amazing. I still prefer one of the fruit or nut trees for pork, beef seems to go with any wood and depends on what I am smoking it to go with. But that is the beauty of smoking meat, so many subtle variations. I have a large, 3 chamber smoker, and this past Thanksgiving and Christmas I smoked a large (25 plus pounds each time) turkey, cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole, and another casserole all at the same time. It does require some prep the day before, but the morning of, I start smoking around 6 am, and then just add the different dishes as the turkey cooks. Everything was done about 1:30 pm and the kitchen did not look like a war zone afterwards.

Congrats Adam that is a really well made stout smoker. That is a Go Big or Go Home unit. A serious investment which will keep you grining for a long time.The options you chose make s lot of sense, especially the larger wheels to raise cooking surface to save your back. Your brisket and pork butts will retain more moisture and better smoke penetration. Use Lump charcoal in the snake basket. Try grapeseed oil (much higher smokepoint) and a spray bottle and clean cotton cloth for your seasoning spray. Pam smells awful when it reaches it smokepoint.

Great choice in smokers. I was looking at them a couple years ago but... Anyway now I have switched to the lazy way with a pellet grill. With the weather being so inhospitable here in TX for most of the year I am done spending hours outside cooking and dealing with the heat. Now I can put a brisket on the grill in the evening and I don't have to touch it for 12 to 16 hours and it comes out perfect every time. I guess that's what all the pecan was for. Gotta figure out how to get a load of Oak and mesquite to you.

I live in the "Texas BBQ Trail" and while I don't know how it is where you are in Florida, Adam, In Central Texas we would avoid stacking our wood right up against the house unless you can keep it absolutely dry. Reason being, if that wood gets wet, you'll get pill bugs in there, and they'll invade your house in amazing numbers looking for the air conditioning in the hot months. If you can keep the wood high and dry, you should be fine though. Happy smoking. You've got a nice one there.

Very nice! I don't know if it was mentioned on here or in the instructions, but seal the lid to the smoke chamber! Clean the lip around the lid real well and add a small bead of silicone, then spray some cooking spray around the lip of the smoke chamber so the silicone doesn't stick and close the lid. Wait a day until it's cured before use. It helps with draft and keeps the smoke in. Made a big difference on mine.
