:tantrum:Thanks Guys! It was real hot, lid stuck and needed to add more wood...........Finally pried it open with the gerber, added wood, and preceded to let her "trim" the right side of my head:smiley_confused_sch
Another little tip...
When you're finished smoking up, pop the lid open and leave it open when you head out. This does a couple things... 1) It prevents the lid from getting stuck shut from the creosote (sp?) buildup, and 2) it helps the chips burn down easier so you have less ash buildup in the smoker.
Decided to try a new taxidermist out and he sure knew how to get my business! First thing I see when I walk in to his shop is a Scent Smoker on that work bench!!! :smiley_clap:

I bought a knock-off while there were none available. BUY THE ORIGINAL SCENTSMOKER. So far I have had to:
Weld lid handle again
Replace lid handle with Eye bolt
Reattach heat shield
Liquid metal the nozzle back on
Ugh...

Left my smoker down at my mancave in Adams Co - was planning on going back following weekend.
Turns out I didn't go there, but was gonna hunt CC close to the house.
Didn't have my smoker.
Scentfree shower and clothing and some of my clothes still had smoke smell in 'em.
But I felt "naked" without having been smoked up.
I'm a smoke junkie.
Gonna hafta get another for the house.
I'm so damned forgetful I need spares of everything.

It wasn't really a "knock off" but a bee-smoker that was cheap. Think it came from Indiana. It was during the transition for BEC to now when none were available and mine met my tire...

I think it needs a giant magnet attached to it, so you can just stick it on the bumper after you are finished. Then you can't run it over.
I don't know if it's been mentioned already, but I use a wire brush after usage on the lid & can's lip to ensure easy on & off.
Yes, that helps a whole lot Kevin. I burnt it off and then wire brushed it~~Worked Great! Thanks.

Good tip. The easiest is to just take a torch and burn it off. A few seconds and it all turns to ash.
