This guy, I think, has the best design for these type smokers, it has a reverse air flow so the smoke coming in isn't screaming hot and there is a more even heat across the whole grill area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat60 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Don't have a smoker but darn that food looks tasty. Id be happy to just get the grill going in the next few weeks. I guess you no how to eat good Chet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Cut grass, and blew leaves today. Our front yard is mostly moss, and it likes the leaves left on top of it over the Winter. There is a big gully in the woods behind the house. I just blow the leaves down there, and the job is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the website and it appears it is but I also saw something that appeared to be a propane hook up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 It took about 6 hours, one piece a little longer. I do it at about 250 degrees and go until the internal temp is about 180-185. The smoker is a wood burner, I use apple or cherry. I tried some almond once but there wasn't much to the flavor. One good thing about woodworking is I always have little scraps for kindling to get it started and up to temp with out using my applewood for that process, of course I don't use anything exotic in the smoker even if its just a little chunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't use walnut do you? I don't know how it is burned but i know it's toxic to plants and the sawdust can be used to keep weeds down.

Chet Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Nope. Pretty much oak or cherry. All the other goes in the camping pile, camp fire is just for ambiance no cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat60 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 While I don't expect most to understand the like for the RV thing my wife and I will enjoy allot it together. So yesterday I had fun installing a small TV in it for the rainy days. Now I also need to learn to be a better cook like some of you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Nice looking rig. We have a large tent trailer that we use all the time. Its a Coleman, 24 ft when it is fully set up. It has a water heater and the refrigerator runs off of everything but almost all the places we go have no hook ups so a TV would do us no good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its cool that you dry camp. Don't no if my wife would be up to it but to be honest I'm thinking about a small generator to charge my batteries for lights and water pump exc. That's about as close to roughing it as we will go and most of the time we will be full hook up. PS All the great food you been showing is really making me look forward to camping and eating . They go together so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I put LED bulbs in all my interior lights, so having done that my deep cycle battery will give me seven days. Of course we spend most of the evening around the camp fire. Water tank in the trailer and two 5 gallon jugs and we have hot water for the week and one propane tank will usually run the hot water heater and refrigerator for a week but I always carry and extra tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tpt life Posted March 21, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 We tent. Rough. We even swung from hammocks sans tent in the lion bush of Zim. A pull behind is likely in my retirement plans for someday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 We've spent our share of time in an RV trailer, mostly during all the years that Pam was showing dogs. One thing especially nice about it was having our own bathroom for stops on long trips while we were on the road. We have spent more nights camping out of backpacks though, than in the camper. I never got around to building a shed for the camper, and by the time we decided to sell it, the weather was taking a toll on it. I was glad to see it go. One thing especially nice to have for an RV is a dumping station at home. I just had a Y into the line going to the septic tank, so we never had to bother with it on weekend trips while we were away from home. A 50 amp box out by the barn gave us a good guest house too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I read an article about a guy that repurposed a pack of cells from a wrecked Tesla to build a homemade powerwall in his RV. He covered the roof with solar cells. He had to replace the charge controllers because he didn't have Tesla software. Neat project but way beyond my skill set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlife Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Only need to keep the plaster on for 3or 4 weeks, fortunately I've taken 6 months off work to fully renovate our old house built in the early 1640's. I'm in the middle of making the windows & doors, we're waiting for the plumber to give us a date when he can start, he's always at least two week late so no real rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
