    Introduction: New To Pitmaster: From Wisconsin

    ​

    This is a great site! I started many years ago on a Brinkmann smoker, graduated to the infamous Johnson Komados, and finally after many moons of saving, bought a Yoder Wichita Loaded this past summer.

    The previous years made this stick fire burning fairly intuitive, but I have yet to appreciate all the zones of the 2 shelf Wichita. I wanted the simplicity of no electricity, no pellet costs, and back to basics. This delivers. Weighing almost 600 pounds, I learned it is not easy to move, and I did not want it outside. So at our cabin, what started as a platform at the end of our shed, became what you see here. I put a "Whirlybird" vent connected to an 8 inch pipe, connected to a 8x12" reducer, leaving space so I could see the smoke (Blue smoke BBQ). Using a propane weed burner (seen on the back wall), I can preheat the firebox through the firebox to get convection going. I then add lump for a base, light with torch, bring to temp, add wood (white oak well seasoned or hickory.) This minimizes the smoke in the shed. It was easier before I enclosed it, but winter is here, and I I have a 4 season smoke shed. BTW the Morso wood stove I had stored in a shed because I did not like the short (7 inch) wood required for heating the cabin.

    The stove is perfect for warming the shed until the offset is humming. Glad I saved it. The windows were contractor lumber yard returns bought at bargain bin prices. Hunt carefully, you may find some amazing bargains. After practice with cheaper fair, we did a 6.7# prime rib last weekend: (225-300, pit) and meat probe to 125, took 2 hr 15 min,. rested tented for 20 minutes, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Fed 6 adults with left overs- smoke ring and great flavor.
