Vertical and Horizontal smoker in 1 question
Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2014 4:46 pm
Greetings:
So I won a homemade pit. It has an offset firebox to the left attached to a horizontal smoker tat is then pipe connected to a vertical smoker. I haven't bbq's in about 25 years (just grilling), so I'm getting my feet wet again. 2 questions:
1. How do I use the vertical smoker (furthest away from the fire box)? Why wouldn't I just cook in the horizontal smoker?
2. Adding wood. Do I just add wood as the fire dies down 91-2 logs at a time, etc.)? Would this create peaks and valleys in temp?
Okay, that was 4 questions but that's using the new math.
Thank you
