Common Smoker Modifications
Q: Ooops, I am trying to go this site, as I have a brand new offset horizontal box and your course says that it needs a modification ( which I already suspected as I was putting it together.
http://www.velvitoil.com/Smokermods.html does not work, I am getting an error msg.
So what is the secret mods?
A: Those links work sometimes and sometimes not.. I posted some different links at the blog a while back to other sites that talked about modifications to various types of smokers. I have posted the links and hopefully they are working as well. I need to get some of this information on the smoking-meat.com site so I can verify that they always work.
For the offset smoker you will need a baffle just under the grating to help disperse the heat more evenly.. it is normally a sheet of metal with long narrow holes or notches cut out in it perpendicular to the smoke chamber. The holes should be smaller and spaced further apart close to the firebox end and should get larger and spaced closer together toward the opposite end of the smoker.
This will allow less heat to come up on the hot end toward the firebox and more heat to come up on the cool end away from the firebox thus helping to even out the heat and get rid of some of the characteristic hot spots in the offset horizontal smokers.
You can also place a water pan at the entrance of the firebox into the smoke chamber to act as a barrier to the radiant heat.
