    Failed CB prep?

    So 10 days ago I planned to smoke some Canadian Bacon. I went out and bought TQ and a 8.5 lb loin. I chopped off about a pound and a half for some porkchops and had 7 lbs left to work with, which I cut into 3 even sized pieces. I mixed the TQ with some brown sugar, rubbed it on nice and good...

    snp rusting - thoughts on maintaining?

    I've used the regular POR-15 for rust repair on cars before, so after a quick visit to their site I found out there are a few high heat options that they offer: http://www.por15.com/High-Temperatur...ts/products/8/ the 1200 degree rated "black velvet" should be good for that application...

    Charcoal Smoker Modifications

    I recently purchased a Brinkman Smoke N Grill (is this the new Smokin' Pit? looks identical) and I fired it up last night for a trial run (still working on the QView).

    In need of advice...

    As I mentioned in my roll call post I'm looking into constructing a smoker out of cinderblocks that I currently have. I would really like for it to work for charcoal, but after reading some posts I think the plans I have may be to big, and I would have to switch to wood (which might be a...

    Hello from NYC

    Hey everyone. My name is Vinny and I'm from the forgotten boro of Staten Island, NY. I'm fairly new to the smokin' scene (dabbling in it for about a year), but I'm looking to start doing some serious smokin' soon. Right now I'm using my 22.5 Weber Kettle and a 3 Burner Weber Gas Grill to do...
