@@HouseOfSpheres you need specific sized splits, it requires a lot more attention, it spits sparks everywhere, but it does produce some good food. That being said, I can see how some people love it but it is not something that is for everyone for sure..
I sold the KBQ a couple months ago.. I do this a lot and I really have to like the cooker to have it stay. The KBQ for me was to limited and needed a lot of attention while cooking. I think with some minor changes to the design it would be a much better cooker.
That's a great smoker. From my personal experience,. wood splits of 25% to 30% moisture content, running on clean smoke setting can impart a smoke flavor unmatched by any other smoker. Also, the logs ought to be cut smaller and thinner, so they build a good coal bed. Too many open holes in the coal bed will result in dirty smoke.
@@djboat_ You'd need a pin type moisture meter such as those made by General Tools. You'd need to cut a log and measure the moisture on the freshly cut surface. If you do it often enough, you can instinctively gauge it by holding a log and see how dense it feels,

Attaway nice to see some kbq content. Have had mine for almost 2 years and it is consistent if nothing else. An excellent stick burner
Good to know!

You’ve had it for about a year now it looks like. What’s the verdict?
I actually sold it a couple months back.. it was a little too needy for me..
@@FireWaterCookingahhhh, bummer. Yeah, I’ve heard the big knock on it is that it requires a lot of attention.

A miter saw will solve your split sizing issues. I used a lopper for a while but a proper miter is just a better investment.
yeah, I figured that

I want one but i don’t wants to deal with getting the wood and cutting it down to size and cooking lol
yeah, it does get a little silly unless you have it custom cut..
That's a beautiful smoker! I hope you use it a lot, and are satisfied with it!
I hope so too!
