stick burner

What, in your opinion, is the easiest smoker to use that also provides the best smoke flavor? When I speak of easiest I mean the easiest prep before the smoke, the easiest to manage during the smoke, and the easiest to clean up after the smoke. When I speak of the smokiest, I mean the closest...

After nearly 6 months of an agonizing wait, my new pit has finally arrived. Prior to that, I spent months deciding on, first reverse vs traditional flow and then manufacturer. There are so many great makers out there, it was a very difficult choice to make. After a certain level, build quality...

Hi Brethren! My new LSG offset arrived this weekend. To honor its long awaited arrival I made this walk around video: https://youtu.be/UnyinCAxjE0

The northeast may not be BBQ mecca, but there are some bbq-related perks to living here. Like when a cherry tree falls on your neighbor's property: Does anyone know - is black cherry easier to split when it's green or after it's seasoned? I made the mistake of letting the logs from a white...

Looking for some good recipe ideas for Christmas. Three-bone choice rib roast on stick burner. Go.

I work at a camp and conference center in the Sierras, and we always have different groups coming and going. So the other day there was a knock on the door and when my wife answers a young man asks if that thing in the yard was our smoker. She says yes, that is my husbands offset pit. He than...

Hail BBQ Brethren, First time poster on this forum, so please excuse if this is in the wrong location. I am in the process of building a new reverse flow stick burner from an old 120 gallon propane tank. I can't seem to find any info concerning the thickness of the heat baffle. Working with...

Just a quick question, Revisited the old topic, "OK, stickburners... let's see those small and hot fires." and though my fire looks nothing like that. Those small fires in those pics looked to me that the wood was just barely burning, is that still a clean fire? I've always though you need to...

Hi, Been struggling with my homemade stick burner, especially with fire management. It's going ok now, but I still have a few problems. One is soot, no matter how clean fire I run, I always get a little bit of darkish brown soot on my meat. And I've tried with lots of different woods. With...

Hi all, Ok, I have my BGE on the way. Of course I'm gonna wanna smoke a few things on it...seems a bit more convenient to do rather than have to stoke wood into the good old Bandera style smoker. But I'm wondering...? 1. Difference in the final product? I mean with smoker, I am burning wood...

So, I've been looking to upgrade from my gasser to a stick burner and I think I found the style I like most. Only problem is most of them have been way out of my price range. I started looking for a bandera with no luck anywhere. I almost went with the Dyna-Glow vertical offset smoker and then I...

I have completed my 1st ground up build. I did have some help along the way. Borrowed a lot of ideas from the internet. This is what I came up with. She cooks like a dream! Main chamber is 24"x60"x.375 new steel pipe. Fire box is 24'x24"x.375 steel pipe encased within 3/16" steel box. Fire box...

I was looking at some of the higher end/better quality stick burners (Klose, Lang, Jambo etc.) something small 36-48" range for my family and friends. Anyway Lang has some intersting videos and was wondering something.. Do you guys (I saw a bunch of guys here with Lang, Klose and Jambo...

My buddy just finished up his first offset cooker project: a 250 gal beast named "Big Jake". We celebrated by having a bunch of friends over to his place and threw on a ton of food to test Big Jake out. My part was handling 3 racks of spares. One was rubbed down with Simply Marvelous Apple...

Up until recently I had been using the drip pan to keep the humidity stable in my pit but I've also noticed the pit is either too humid due to flash off or under because it simply all steamed off and dried out quickly. I've begun experimenting with adding a shelf on the left side of my pit...

I've been thinking about building a stick burner since leaving Texas a few days ago. The Brisket from Lockhart is the new target I'm aiming for. Since all the pits I saw in Texas (and here) use indirect heat, I'm going to assume there are limits to how close one can get with a direct heat smoker...

Ok, so after I finally got to see Smokin_D's tiny reverse flow, I figured I'd start building my own. Well a prototype and then simplify the thing for reproducing. Anyway.. I printed 3 pictures I took of Rich's little guy and one of a new Lang (which is more the design I prefer) and set out on a...
