ime glad ive helped some folks on here!
the shavings are about 1-3 inches deep, and a couple of hours should do for the smoking of bacon,you will need to fiddle with the heat abit,high to get it going,then turn round,if the smoke stops have a look inside,and push shavings that havent burned onto thehoter part,then re-cover.
could you guys post pics of yer set up? and maybe of yer goodies you have smoked!
