Howdy!
I have an Old Country Brazos offset that I cook with. I've had it about a year so far, so I'd still consider myself new to smoking. Thanks to the vast knowledge out there, I'd say my learning curve was pretty easy as I'm pretty good at watching and copying people. Not unhappy with my bbq so far at all.
I have the stove pipe extension on there, so the original damper that is on the Brazos is not being used - stack is wide open. I also typically cook with the firebox door slightly open (maybe 1" or so), don't really use the wheel damper on there.
I have a little heat baffle I made and put in there to re-direct the direct heat more upwards, but I'm curious if I have "too much" draft through the cook chamber.
I did some ribs recently and I feel like the surface was drying out pretty good. Lots of folks talk about spritzing their ribs, which I was doing - I'm just wondering if maybe I have too much draft drying them out too soon? I'm still planning to build a new stack end and putting a damper on it so I can cut back the airflow from either stack end or firebox end, so maybe this problem will fix itself once I have that. Just curious on your thoughts, from those with more experience on offset smokers than myself.
