    Kansas City style BBQ?

    After we ate I walked around the building and there wasn't any type of cooking pit out there just a smoker.  So I am guessing that is how they did it because of the grill marks and charring on my food.  It actually wasn't bad food.  Not swimming in sauce and excellent smoke to it.  Personally I...

    Not enough airflow??

    I just built an 8 ft. reverse flow smoker this spring.  I seem to be having trouble getting the thing hot.  I burn only natural lump (Lazzari) and I cant seem to get it above 225 degrees.  I think the problem lies in the size of the exhaust.  I only used a 4" pipe.  I'm thinking of adding a...
