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.

Nice site but there kits are not available I think it is the wrong time of the year. If you have fruit trees in your yard just cut of some limbs, you do have to prune anyways just this way you get a benifit of useing the wood in your smoker. I have some maple wood from a tree I had to get cut down HYdro did it they left burnable sized chuncks. It has been cured for a year and now I have to cut it up into managable sized pieces. I also have apple wood maybe some cherry.

Have fun,
Bill
