I was referred to you 1Bigg_ER for your outstanding cooks.
I look forward to going back through this thread to see all of your excellent meals.
I heard you had a great smoker unit too that I'd love to see/hear about.

Much appreciated Okie. Feel free to ask questions.
You referring to this smoker? http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=14993.0
I'll bet that's it. Looks like it does a great job although I'm not sure how it works.
Is the heat generated by the wood or is there a heat element in the lower part and the wood is just for smoke?
Reminds me of Doc's fusion feed on his car in back to the future.
There's no heat element. You still have to fire it up like a regular stick burner. Then you turn the thermostat on, set your temp. The temp does not work like pellet smokers. It cycles 10 degrees over and under your preferred cooking temp.
When the fan start running, it pulls the smoke/hot gas through the hot bed of coals and into the cook box. You can see this by the inverted flame. Once the cook box gets to temp, fan cycles off, the flame burn straight again until the fan kick back on.
This is why the cook box is not insulated, to keep the fan busy pulling in that sweet smoke.
