Topic: I've got to much smoke . . . . From: Jeff,
Subject: Re: To Much Smoke

I have a large pit constructed from an old butane tank. It has a fire box, cooking chamber and smoke chimney. The fire box is separated from the cooking chamber with a small baffle but there is a small opening to let the smoke in. My problem is that to heat the cooking chamber up to 175-250*F I have to have a fire burning constantly and the smoke flavor in the meat is to strong. I have tried oak and hickory with the same results. What can you suggest?

Hi Jeff,

First, heat up the grill with 5-10 lbs good charcoal and 10-15 lbs of wood. When the wood has burned to embers, close down the air intake until you can maintain the temp. that you want.

Second, you must have a separate pit in which to burn down the additonal wood to coals before you put them into the grill fire box. A 20 gal drum with a shovel hole cut out of on side of the bottom works well.

Try it, you'll like it.
