It's pretty nice catching the odd whiff during the 6 hour cooking time.
Smoked meat is great.

how big is the pulled pork your doing? everyone that does it from what I have read is looking at 12 to 15 hour smoke times..

I actualy ordered online and got a box of wild cherry, sugar maple, and a box of hickory, but I am pruning some trees in the back yard soI will also try some pear, couple types of apple, some plum and some bing cherry.

I have had my little cheif for like 20 years (the same one) and when I make jerky, by the time the last one comes out, the rest are gone. Also I do ribs, the cheap hams from stupid store, salmon, etc. I love it and use it quite often. I regulate the temp with the box it came in so I can still use it in the middle of winter.

You can also pick up bags of the wood chips from Canadian Tire, WalMart or any outdoor outfitter.

ya I didn't want chips.. I got chunks which are about 2"x2"x4" some bigger. I have chips from when I used to do the tinfoil smoke packs on the Grill.

I got a chargriller smoker pro with a sidebox, I use it atleast once a week even in the winter. I started using charcoal and smoking a couple years ago, never go back to gas was pretty excited when I got the ok to chop down our two apple trees, got enough applewood to last me atleast a year now.

I am already planning a home made reverse flow smoker. just trying to decide if I should build it on a trailer or just a patio model. trailer would be handy for moving it around the yard, but would over double the cost of building it.

this way I will have my big one for home and my little one for camping.

Nice, I go with the reverse flows for the ability to grill and smoke, size is definately a pita. If you build it on a trailer are you thinkin of towing it? Could always build the smoker now, keeping in mind the design for a trailer someday. I toss mine in the truck (with the help of 3 others usually) for the yearly two week camping trip out to crowsnest pass on. Get some funny looks pullin up with a smoker takin up half the box. Trailer would be a lot easier for sure. Any design you using? Or right from scratch? I was thinking of diggin a pit and building one in the yard this year out of brick, wanna do it right of course though, can't find much info on doin this.

If anyone in or around Calgary wants to go in on a hardwood order, itd be a great way to stock up. Pretty hard to get hardwood here in small orders.
