How to control temperature in an offset smoker? - offset smoker
I opted for turkey smoke and skirts often. But I think my results are more luck than anything else. I can not take a firm grip on controlling the temperature inside the smoker. I have an offset smoker ... The chimney has no buffer, then use a piece of common wood for this purpose. I have a damper in the fireplace. How to control both the temperature? What is their relationship to temperature? It seems that the addition of cooling air is sometimes more, sometimes it is fire and RSS feeds, it is hotter than hell .... Please help.

Do not worry about the fireplace damper. You remove the piece of wood. Use only the damper in the fireplace. To lower the temperature and close the door to raise the temperature to open the door. More oxygen means more heat. Make adjustments a little at a time. Soon you will know your smoker well enough to know what it will be open or closed. Produced by two adjustable control too many variables. Get a remote thermometer (Polder).
Add the final tube with an apple or onion to grill level during cooking. It is easier to keep down your time. You can know put an alarm on the thermometer when the heat is a particular area, too high or too low. You can also get a meat thermometer seconds to know so that you, when it reaches the correct internal temperature. The use of this thermometer also means that the door does not open, so often. "If you is not lookin 'Cookin'.
I use a remote thermometer and keep the tube in the flesh. In this way I can control the grill temp & amp; internal temperature of meat without opening the door.
Green Smokers are made for the occasional smoker or what would be the automatic car industry, what you have is a "stick shift" is needed more practice to hang from it. One thing is clear, and I think in this you control the temperature of the "low" starting with practice, half the amount of wood, which refers in general to me, that you have a temperature gauge and a timer to make the timer for one hour if you have your wood heating, it saves time and temperature when the wood gray Register draft flap, keep you waiting 15 minutes temp, then do the opposite.
Add a measured amount of wood and then start monitoring again. After a few data are needed to have the amount of "heat", I hope you told me that he felt the "heat" and not smoking is actually forbidden in the first hour of "Smoking".
For dampers have much to do with it.
I also use a mixture of coal and all types of wood that I use (nuts, apples, walnuts)
I begin with 2 chimney starter of charcoal and about 5 pieces of wood, and my temp from 200-225, before you check more meat. I open the flap site about 1 / 4 inches and the stack damper almost closed.
From this point of the control stack buffer overflow. When the temperature begins to reduce the open. If I close it starts to rise. This will slow the flow of air over the fire.
no idea
