Why The Best Offset Smoker Fire Management Advice On YouTube Is WRONG For Your Backyard! Fire management log placement techniques for a 500-1,000+ gallon offset smoker does NOT translate to popular backyard sized offset smokers.

Using 4 common fire management log building techniques from 4 popular offset smoker fire management teachers I show you how these fires ACTUALLY perform in common backyard sized offset smokers ranging from my 30 gallon Oklahoma Joes Highland offset smoker to my 110 gallon Smoke North Huron Gen 2 offset smoker... and more importantly how to translate some great fire management advice from larger offset smokers to the one you have in your backyard.
