which unit are you referring to? I never intended to cook directly over the fire, I thought about about making a firebox and leaving one section of the grill out and get a small fire going and wait until it is down to coals and use the other 2 grill sections to actually cook the meat and If I...

Is this because the metal is not thick enough so it would warp?

Boar, Unfortunately i can't afford the $5000 or so into BBQ equipment like you have done. BBQ and smoking is something that I would like to get into but not at anywhere near that expense. I am not ignoring your advice and I have considered going with the WSM 22 1/2 model but if I can go with an...

I just found an old country ranch hand smoker/grill that is around 450 shipped. Do you know anything about this unit?

It looks like that unit is not around anymore, New Braunfel has sold out to charbroil and charbroil does not have any grills or smokers that use wood. It looks like getting a food grade 55 gallon drum and cutting it in half and hinging the cover and installing grates in it and putting some legs...

Big wheel, thank you that is what I was trying to find out. Do you know of any offset ones that would work for what I am looking to do.

There might be times when I want to use charcoal because it sounds it Mitty be more convenient and and easier to maintain temps without a lot of work. On the other hand there might be days when I have the time that I can sit down in a chair with a good book and tend the fire every 15 minutes...

I looked at the santa maria grills and they are very nice with a reasonable price but the trouble is they are in California and I am in New Hampshire and I imagine the shipping would be outrageous. Any idea where to buy these on the east coast. Do you have any good ideas on where to look for a...

The budget ceiling is not $200 but $900 is quite a bit more than what I want to spend for how much I plan on using it. I was just curious if it work for what I was looking to do with it. I realize it is not going to be the best set up for what I am trying to do but if the metal will hold up to...

I have good supply of hardwood and want to use that. I have a weber gas grill that works great and meat is flavorful and I still plan on using that when I don't have the time to use the wood but nothing,not even charcoal beats the flavor you get from cooking over a wood fire. I am not planning...

I am not afraid of a challenge but what exactly do you mean by a big challenge. I love the idea of the flavor of cooking with wood and would love to try smoking some meat but don't want to go crazy and dump a $900-$1000 on a grill or a grill/smoker combo at least until I find out it is something...

I am looking at the brinkmann smoke n' pit smoker/grill combo at home depot. I am looking to take 14"-16" pieces of wood and split them up very small. It says wood/charcoal but at only $179 I am thinking it might not be able to stand that type of heat. I was wondering if anybody has tried to use...

mostly maple but some other mixed stuff. oak, beech, black and yellow birch, and maybe a little oak

I would say a combination. Right now I have nothing but a fire pit that is about 26 inches around and plenty of wood available. I am starting from scratch and just looking for some ideas on either using my firepit or maybe even buying a wood grill but I am having trouble finding them. Most are...
