Newbie here, hello to all
« Reply #-1 on: September 06, 2015, 01:06:11 PM »
Glad to have just joined the site.  Hello to all...
I consider myself a newbie, been grilling on various grilles for about 8 years, 3-5 times a week for the last 3 years on a Chargriller (no side fire box), mostly indirect cooking, using charcoal and wood chunks.  Very comfortable on this grille, but recently purchased an Old Country Pecos horizontal offset smoker, which I have no idea how to properly use lol.  Lots of great advice from experienced folks on here, happy to be a member.

Ready to season it, and learn.  Any advice on seasoning properly would be appreciated.

Hope you all are having a great holiday weekend!

Welcome from So-Cal.  A off-set is all about being able to build the proper size fire and then managing it. Tons of stuff on-line and of course I can run an off-set as well as many here on the forum. Dontcha worry......we got you covered  :)

Welcome from middle Georgia - home of the Fall Cookout with Bremer.

I have had a great summer using my Pecos smoker.  When I got it I only THOUGHT I knew how to use it and it kicked my butt for almost 2 years.
The best thing you can do for yourself is get Aaron Franklin's book, "Franklin's Barbecue- A Meat-Smokin' Manifesto".  He has a number of videos on YouTube and he uses the Pecos smoker for his backyard cooks.  I can almost guarantee that if you'll take the time to read the chapters on "the smoker", "the wood", and "fire and smoke", you will truly enjoy the Pecos.  Offsets are very difficult to use unless you understand smoke and fire.  He explains a lot of the science behind it and then tells you the practical side of it in away that you can grasp.

He says to build a fire as big as you can in the firebox and let it go for about an hour.  When it cools down, but is still a bit warm, treat it like cast iron by rubbing vegetable oil or lard into the metal.  It will take some time and effort to do that, but it will pay off, believe me. 

Look me up on youtube - backyardjack - definitely not a backyardpro.
