Best way is to light just a very small couple pieces of lump with any means you want. Then use a cheapo hair drier as a blower to make the burning pieces glow madly and bring the neighboring pieces to ignition temps.. the second other charcoal is lit, it is also glowing madly. Wood Charcoal lights about 660º and with a blower it glows at over 1,800ºf Short of a huge weed burner with a million BTU's nothing gets charcoal lit faster.. Best to get a hair drier that has a big fan and airflow..

Nice little write up in United Airlines Magazine..

I fill the smoker with small splits of wood up just above the stainless tube. I then toss a small burning piece of charcoal on the wood, fill the rest of the tube and close the lid. I then blow air with my hairdryer through the side holes.. this will make the charcoal glow madly and gets everything going.. I then dial down the pump to the density I'm looking for. Short smokes get more smoke and long smokes get less. You can easily top off the wood at any time. A cheapo hairdryer works great to get everything glowing..

If you have the small SS tube air injection all the way in it makes more vaccuum.. I usually use it about half way in. I usually make the smoke on the light side if I want it to be a long smoke. If it's a shorter smoke like for a reverse sear, I crank it up and make much thicker/ more dense smoke.

Are you looking for a meat/ cooking thermometer or a in the dome thermometer?

Ah HA just got this message! Sent Tuesday night.. We should have your container from NYK / 38 pcs arriving at our warehouse tomorrow late morning. (Wed)

I used to call my broker endlessly but eventually realized it's like watching and waiting for a pot to boil.. So I just remind them I have a container to clear and wait for them to call me. X number of containers from Indonesia get a random ex-ray exam because homland security BS.. you know it being the largest Islam country and all. LOL WHen they don't see anything they charge you $500 and give you back your box with a 2-3 day delay. If they see something they can't figure out (last itime was a crate of tiles) the do a physical exam and charge me another $15-1700 Thanks guys! typical delay for this "service" is 4-5 days. Then they deliver the container to the warehouse. There are not enough chassis in Los Angles so we usually need to book them for two day even though we only need them for half day. On top of that I pay a $200 hazardous material surcharge to the trucking for the charcoal... What a racket!

Yes that was the plan.. I ordered 250 aquarium pumps in June off Alibaba.. They were lost in translation and now seem to be back on track. I've changed the transit from sea to air hopefully I'll have them soon.. Can't make promises until I have the airway bill in hand.

They are A36 Mild (low-carbon) steel, this radiates heat best, much better than stainless for this application.. (think cast iron skillet). It just means you need to dry them after washing.

Best to buy an "adjustable" air pump.. this lets you control the volume of the airflow.. If you already bought one without the adjustable feature, just add a three-way valve so you can bleed off some of the pressure and reduce the flow.

Makin' Bacon All afternoon with the cold smoker using coffee wood before I cranked it up to 200º until the belly was about 155.

It is about 18" wide.. We are in the process of testing a textured surface for the pizza side, fine tuning the tools used to pick them up from holes in the sides and learning about seasoning. They will be pre-seasoned from the factory. They are A36 Mild (low-carbon) steel, this radiates heat best, much better than stainless for this application.. (think cast iron skillet).

OOps yes.. with all... just added to the 16's grills too..

THe 32" BB had a larger draft door that looked a bit vacant so I added another dial which was well received and collected lots of kudos. When I released the 22" standing I decided to use the new two dial design and immediately had requests from 23" users for a similar draft door for theirs. Next thing you know I started adding them to new production. I can honestly say there is no performance difference only more cool factor...

You are better off using the short grill probe to monitor your grill's temps.. the one you have in is the meat probe/thermocouple/ thermometer.

Can be used either.. with the oil groove down on the upper grate as a baking steel or with the groove up as a griddle on the main grill.

It weighs about 10 kilos / 22 lbs. It will have the oil gutter moved over about 1/2" dead center left and right where there will be holes in the side for some grabbers we will ship with the steel.. It has such a high heat transfer you can bake things quickly at lower temps than other stones.. This is the only way to do the cracker crust pizzas..
