BUG wrote:Thanks for the info. So where's the best place to buy the WSM and the rib rack / fan etc? Best charcoal / wood for the WMS?
pugboy wrote:yeah the rib racks is a good addition along with chimney
the weber chimney is excellent quality, mine still in top condition from 2004
my gravity feed stumps style smoker is the one in back left with red gasket on door.

How do you compare WSM vs propane smoker
pugboy wrote:No difference, at least with my smoker.
the lpg burner is aimed at a little basket which I put the chunks of wood in and burns them there.
So it still gets the proper smoke taste.
I have been told electric smokers have slightly diff taste as there is no real combustion and no smoke ring as the pink ring is due to the combustion smoke.
One day I plan to build a proper reverse flow with water pan
those are supposed to be the purest type of smokersfrancis1979 wrote:Nice collection

That Gravity Series Grill looks interesting btw BUG ^^

I was eyeing this charcoal grill from Yoder Smokers. It doesn't have some of those features as the Gravity but it's built like a fricking tank. They have an extremely versatile pellet grill/smoker too, the Yoder YS640 with similar features as the gravity if you want to check it out. They're very pricey though, but can go through a world war with that build quality.

Wow! When you said the Yoder was built like a tank you weren't kidding!

No need to import.
I custom built my smoker a few years ago using samples off the internet and most importantly, feldon's calculator for smokers. Google the latter and you will get some good details that will help you to build one.
Lots of resources are available on YouTube to help build a good grill or smoker.
Also, you don't need to spend a fortune to get a good grill or smoker. You can use a Weber kettle grill (or similar) very effectively to grill and to smoke. There are lots of those out there.
Plus if you are new to grilling or its your first time buying a grill, consider a cheaper "starter" grill to get you going and to help you develop the skills.

You built a gravity fed grill with a digital temp controller that can be controlled via phone app with the ability to switch from low and slow smoking temp (225f) to searing temp (700f+) in under 10 minutes?
If so, can you build me one please?!
pugboy wrote:no phone app but digital pid temp controller with fan to blow on coals
i don’t think that chargriller will reach those temps for searing
will be a total waste of fuel as gravity feed design not practical for grilling temps

Where can I get those large feedbags of coals to purchase? Who has the best wood chips for smoking?
