    First Run Pics. Ribs and Beer Can Chicken

    I tried posting pics a while back but it wouldn't work on my phone.  Beer can chicken and 2 slabs of St. Louis ribs (1 foiled and 1 not).  These were the first things I have ever smoked and was just hoping they would be edible and provide a starting point.  Ribs turned out real good.  A bit...

    First run ribs and chicken w/ Q-view

    Finally got something smoke on my wrangler offset. 2 racks of SL ribs and 1 beer can chicken. My wife made sime mede cilantro/lime dressing for grilled slaw. 1 rack wrapped and 1 not. Rubbed them down with butter then a rub blend that I probably toyed with a bit too much but was still pretty...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Well. I'm in Law Enforcement and a gun guy. No greater pistol shooting pleasure than a well made 1911. There us also a Chris Knight song called "Love and a .45". FireAndA45 sounded mire appropriate for a meat smoking call sign!

    When is free not worth it?

    While I'm thinking of it, what are some mods I will want to look at? Already thinking a fresh coat of paint, high heat sealer around the doors, making a coals box, new grates and a heat deflector. What are some other things I could do to aid in heat retention?

    When is free not worth it?

    Thanks for the input! Cool thing is that even if I didn't wind up taking it, neither my wife or her parents would be offended. Very blessed in that in enjoy my in laws.

    When is free not worth it?

    Just as I am about to purchase a new Old Country Wrangler, my in laws told me they have an old smoker they don't use anymore.  It is about 10-12 years old and the brand, I believe, is Red Stone (the Tractor Supply store model).  The main chamber as well as the smoker box has a bit of rust but...

    Spare rib membrane!

    Another thing learned since coming to this site.  The local joint in my hometown never took the membrane off.  This is the BBQ I still compare everything else to because it was all I knew for several years growing up.  Ribs were never fall-off-the-bone tender but were never tough either.  I like...

    New Old Country Wrangler Smoker - First Brisket

    I have been looking at several smokers and had just about narrowed things down to this and a Weber 22.5 kettle because I also wanted to cook steaks at a high temp.  Your post might just have sealed the deal on buying this model!  Great product in that brisket!

    Long time griller but new to smoking.

    Stumbled across this page while researching a new smoker purchase.  I've grilled for years but am just now getting into slow smoking.  Thanks to this page, I quickly ruled out a "combo" unit due to durability issues.  Gas convenience, charcoal/wood flavor, searing for steaks and a flat top...
