That fatty looks sweet...I am liking the color of the brisket.

I gotta ask...I don't mean to sound like a broken record........but.....have you had any problems with gusts of wind with the wood and ashes being exposed like they are??

I don't see how. If anything is going to blow, I'd probably desipate in the air before doing any damage. The hot coals are big in size and sink into the coal tray. The tray sits in and not on the ash tray.

I have a similar concern as I cook ten feet in the air on my deck.

[1Bigg_ER]

The most wind I've cooked in  so far is 10 mph but that's nothing.
I don't lose any emblems when I poke the coals.
But that's a good question for Bill. I'll pass it along

[GusRobin]

 I really like this cooker. Out of all the reviews I have read, that was the one negative or should I say concern -lack of a spark arrester. If I did buy one, and was concerned about sparks, I think it wouldn't be too difficult to fabricate a "slip over" spark arrester.

Now I just need to convince the wife that I need a new smoker more than she would need an ex-husband if I bought one.

The firebox is covered I don't get any sparks. Lemme taller a picture

That picture helps but I do see ash and coals exposed where I am just thinking here...could be blown around by a gust. We are looking for a smoker to have out front on our main deck. Want to be able to be out there at night away from the critters. The smoker will sit on a wooden deck by three big cedars that the deck was built around.

But in the second picture of this thread, it shows a log on fire and sticking out of the fire box. This could be a issue in areas that may be fire prone. Also, as Smoke said, it looks like a gusty wind could blow some hot ashes.

That was before I went through and cut all my regular sized logs. I explained that somewhere. Gotta use 6-8 inches long logs.
Every smoker has its dangers.
Email Bill from his website, maybe he's got a better answer.




That hitech chair is not part of the KBQ package.

[muebe]

Well I really want one and would love to have one... The smoker not the custom chair

[smokeasaurus]

I would like the custom chair to use while sitting by the smoker managing the fire (don't tell Wendy it uses electricity)

Don't get me wrong,the lack of spark arrestor would not stop me from getting one, money maybe, but not the spark arrestor.

Where I live...one live ember can be a potential disaster. I had to stop using lump in my PK Grill, had a few embers fall out of the intake vents on a windy evening. Had to bring the hose out back and water everything down and then sit up all night on my back deck and watch the forest below.........long night......
