Mastering the Offset Smoker
Cooking with a live wood fire in a smoker can be an exhilarating experience, but it requires patience and practice to master the art of fire management. This skill, which is honed over time, involves understanding the nuances of temperature control, airflow, and fuel selection. With the right fundamentals in place, cooking on a live wood fire can transform your backyard into a culinary playground where you can experiment with different flavors and techniques. Offset smokers, for instance, employ a unique approach by utilizing a separate firebox for heat and smoke generation, allowing you to maintain consistent temperatures and infuse your food with that distinct smoky taste. In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about cooking on an offset smoker, ensuring that you are well-equipped to embark on this rewarding and enjoyable journey.

I have a Yoder Kingman that I purchase new July 2015. While I am pleased with the performance of my smoker,
I am curious why Yoder does not promote the stick burner smokers the way that they do the Pellet smokers?
I believe that my Kingman is just as good those produce by companies such as the Workhorse models, Lone Star Grillz, Franklin pits, Gator pits, Millscale, etc. So why does Yoder not promote them? Don’t you believe in your own product?
Why no updates to your stick burners? Such as off road packages, or fold down front shelf, smoke collector etc.?
I believe you are missing out on opportunities to expand and grow the Yoder Brand..
We’ve made some substantial updates to the stick burners, check out the website!
