Try opening the vent more on the firebox. From what I’ve read it sounds like you need to supply lots of air to reduce the smoke.

I decided to give mine a try as an offset smoker. Read up and watched a few videos on making the fire. Loaded up the box with some Kingsford, and put an almond log on top. The local grocery store had a big bag of this almond firewood, I think that should work OK?



I figure I will need to baby sit the fire a lot, so decided to do something that doesn't take all day, ribs.



After 45 minutes, still pouring out too much smoke, need to tame this thing down a bit.




After an hour, temps are holding OK, as usual, the built in thermometer is not same as the temp on the grate.




Still putting out more smoke than I would want to see from my BGE or WSM, but time to press on. I guessing its gonna have some bitter smoke flavor, will know for sure in 5-6 hrs. Maybe this firewood wasn't the best choice?

So far for a regular cook. Veg, meat... nothing crazy about 5-8 pices 4”x15” logs. It’s not to bad. I’m still trying to figure out the sweet spot. And thanks, appreciate the kind words.

[Splatt44]

Me neither. I was thinking of using the offset as more of a side burner. Using a pot or cast iron pan if needed.

Incredible pics and an incredibly beautiful rig.
I love this thing.
Curious how much wood are you going through with each cook?

[SierraBBQGuy]

Curious to see how well it works as smoker, I’ve not tried on mine yet

[Splatt44]

Thank you!! It all starts with www. Hope you had a good read.

[Sharklovers]

What a beautiful setup! Can't wait to see what else you're cooking on it...and how! OK, off to their website for some casual reading...

[JCBBQ]

Nice set up you've got there. Two quality rigs. Keep those pics coming.

[Splatt44]

Fun with my toys today.

Got to smoke a brisket, and do some grilling. And it’s still January. Not a bad day

[Splatt44]

It’s an additional piece. And thank you.

[Splatt44]

That’s the only place I am king. Thanks.

[Butchman]

Was the rotisserie included or did you have to purchase that in addition to cost of the grill?
Looks awesome but the way, nice cook.

[Mudkat]

Just awesome! You sir are the king of your backyard!

[JimLinebarger]

That is a sweet grill/smoker. Looks very well made.
