ID:	207118 Hello, I am brand new to the forum and look forward to learning more about smoking meat. I recently built a reverse offset smoker and have been using it for about six months. I look forward to learning some great recipes and techniques. (I think I've already made most of the mistakes. At least I hope so.)

      Very helpful homework.  I must admit, though, the "homework" moniker made me cringe a bit.  Thanks.  And I really like the culture on this forum, bunch of folks having a good time and wanting others to have the same.  Nice.

          Not sure. I've never cooked Pork Butt. The cooking surface is 19"x 26". Only one rack so far; I'm thinking of adding an upper.

          So far this smoker works OK. However, I do get a lot of creosote dripping down the stack and all over the tanks. Looks like a mess all the time. Think I should shorten the stack or perhaps add a larger diameter?

          DQuetin So you're either cooking very humid or the smoke is condensing or both. I'd say put a larger diameter stack on it. It sounds like you're mimicking a moonshine still- the smaller stack puts a greater surface area to the exhaust volume ratio, cooling it too much. A larger diam stack should solve that.

            I hate guys like you. I could'nt make anything remotely like that. But, then again, that's why it's cool to have guys like you on the team. Welcome aboard & enjoy the ride! We have tons of peeps that are fabricators, tinkerers, modifiers, experimenters. Then there is me, I just specialize in eating. Looking forward to eating some of your recommendations.
