    I need a new smoker

    I will only smoke with charcoal so I will post this here. I have a pretty good horizontal smoker but the more and more I smoke, I want a vertical smoker for more space and to do other things. What is a good vertical smoker? My friend suggested a Brinkmann Smoke King but I know this forum will...

    chops

    OK, thanks for the pointer. I don't have apple wood but do have some pecan wood I have been wanting to use. I think this will be a good time for it. I heard woods like hickory or mesquite are too strong for pork.

    chops

    So you just smoke them until they are about 150 or 160 inside and then they are done?

    chops

    Don't chops tend to dry out? I am going to smoke some chops this weekend, brine them first, but I am also concerned they might get too dry.

    My Butt is smoking, how 'bout yours?

    FIRE ANTS, What to do?

    if you are in there stirring the compost, and if it is possible, try and find the queen, it will be the only one that doens't look like the others, prly a lot bigger than the others also (might be able to find a pic on the internet). That might make them move.

    aNOTHER way to pay your bills

    Calculator??? you nuts??? I bet nobody at a bank could decipher this. A bank teller or bill processor knowing calculus should have a better job.

    FIRE ANTS, What to do?

    i had a relative that was a health inspetor. to get rid of ants and such in the kitchen (where you can't really use poison) they would use chili powder. Insects (IIRC) breath through their legs (or some crap like that), anyway, it would work for them.
