I haven't smoked any food in it yet. I'll put that on the short list. I'll make a cherry plank apple wood smoked pork loin with a crock of...
No smoke flavor on pizza either. I run the fire for pizza cooking at the back wall, so the fresh air rushing in goes across the top of the pizza,...
No smoke flavor at all Ray. Most of the coals are raked out and it is just a hot,dry clean smell in the oven if that makes any sense.

I hope others will benefit from it too. There is not a lot of info out there on the Castine as far as the inner workings. I will replace the flat...

I picked up a Castine a few weeks ago from a CL ad that needed some attention. I did a thorough clean out of the firebox with a Sooteater and...
All the nice foliage is down now from the wind and rain
It is possibly a learning curve. I Just picked up a F 400 and was previously running a F3. It is a much different stove. The F3 had the...
