Hi All, My buddy just got a Yoder Horizontal smoker and purchased a ton of oak wood. He gave me a bunch for free, but they need to be cut into chunks. They are in all a quarter log (like firewood is) Whats the best method...my electric hand saw is too small to do it cleanly. Mitre saw best...

On the inside of the door. Leave a small blank space on top middle to accommodate the thing you turn to open door. Leave closed and locked for 24 hours before you cook. May take a little extra pull to open during 1st cook after, but that's about it. Seals in great.

I just installed LavaLock 12 GREY High Performance BBQ gasket smoker seal SELF STICK ($18 on Amazon) Worked great on door and top/middle connection. Very easy.

Great Job! So jealous! Also jealous of the pricing. Here in NJ I "lucked" into $3.99/lb full brisket at Stop n Shop. $7.99/lb regularly but $3 of per lb sale + and $1 extra off with coupon. And only 1 of the 13 or so available had a decent sized point.

Thanks guys! Ill take a look at all the suggestions.

Hi All, Looking to purchase a quality knife (off amazon if possible) mostly to trim fat off the meat before I cook. Any suggestions? Hoping there is a hidden gem for a reasonable price. Thanks!
