Fed up with my smoker's temp swings during overnight cooks
I've been trying to get my overnight pork shoulder smokes right, but my homemade offset just won't hold steady. Last night, I woke up every two hours to check the fire, and it still dropped 50 degrees. I used oak and hickory, but the airflow is all messed up. My friends say to just buy a pellet grill, but I want to master the stick burner. It's like the smoker has a mind of its own. I spent weeks building this thing from an old propane tank. Now I'm thinking I might have to redo the firebox. Honestly, it's burning me out more than the wood.
