    That's pretty much why I built one a little bigger than some. I can do a little or a lot. I think I have a handle on things now. One half of the big ring on the burner will do 180+. I don't plan on doing much BBQ but I can if I want. I will make a lid for that cast iron skillet to keep the wood...

    Well, i tired my hand at some salmon. I cured it 24 hours and smoked it for 4 hours. Smoking part was no problem....saltiness was out of the park too much. I followed the recipe but I should have stuck with my gut feeling that 24 hours was too long. Lesson learned. Fast forward to yesterday. I...

    Yeah I thought about that but damn that's a huge skillet and it did not come with a lid. I may cut a piece of steel plate I have and make one. Thanks.

    So I got the new regulator. Night and day difference. I played with it a little yesterday and was able to maintain 110 on the smaller, center fire ring. After that we decided to cook some chicken legs just to break it in. I kept the temp around 275/280 and the legs cooked up really nice. Took...

    I try and source most stuff locally to help out small business owners. I just posted that regulator from Ebay for the photo. There is a small hardware store near my house that has the exact same one I posted. If it does not work out I will try the folks in the link ya posted. Thanks.

    I read on their website it could be used for anything because it could be adjusted really low. The one I have now if you just touch the needle valve the flame changes drastically in either direction so there is no real fine control. So far my valves have not caught fire. Even at elevated temps...

    I started making bacon earlier this year after buying my first pellet smoker. I found it fairly easy and straight forward but the pellet grill was mediocre at best. I stumbled up on this forum a few months ago and got the idea to build my own smoke shack. I must say I looked at every build...
