stuartH Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi everyone. Thanks for letting me join the group. I am not new to BBQs but just starting out with smoking. So may be some fairly simple possibly stupid questions. Please be gentle🤣🍗 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartH Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 At the moment I just have a tepro Toronto but looking at building myself a UDS. Or buying myself something more suitable for smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi Stuart, once again welcome to the Forum. The Tepro would be OK for cold Smoking, and I guess if could be used for hot Smoking, if you set up for indirect smoking. Have you fire on the left hand side with the right hand bottom vent Shut completely top right open, and top left shut and use bottom left for temperature control. Then place the meat on the right hand side of the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Looking forward to your adventures, show us your cooks and hopefully you will find lots of helpful people and resources. I have been on the forum since last March 2018 and I have found and continue to find many friends and much help. The tailgates are great fun. I have organised the inaugural spring Anglia and Southeast which was earlier this year with @Raptor72and I am going to the Midlands, Northern and National ones through the year. They are great fun and relaxing. Hope to see you at one of those certainly at least the national one. I learnt lots from this forum including cold smoking and charcuterie. Now I am getting into all grain brewing too, all through the inspiration derived from this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartH Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 That's great. See every day is learning day. I have read up on different smoking tecniques and I did think with the lower vents it would be possible. But probably struggle to maintain a temp for any length of time.

Smokin Monkey Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The lower vents are the most important vents on a Pit, these control the air flow. Air Flow Control = Heat Control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartH Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thanks Justin. I intend to start slowly and build up. I have some ribs in the fridge marinating in a home made rub and some wings in a homemade marinade too. Tomorrow will see how they taste. Thanks for the welcome and advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
