    Found Tank New Build

    When I built my big smoker, I buy my steel from a welding and fabrication place. What they suggested to me was 3/4" expanded steel. They said it was what people use for cooking chikens on pits with. I had made a frame with 1" angle iron and welded in a ctr brace. I cooked a 100# hog on it with...

    UDS Build in Progress

    I installed a 1" ball valve on mine with a two inch exhaust. Works great. Once you reach desired temp you shouldn't have to touch your valve or valves and leave your exhaust open while smoking. I put a rain cap on mine that will still let it breath though. I also installed a set of wheels on one...

    I would like yer mamas recipe please...

    I love corn bread. I have tried the box mixes, they just don't taste good to me. Then again I don't like store boxed foods any way. I grew up with home cooking, and I do home cooking. I make my own cornbread from scratch. This past winter I entered a chowder and chili cook off at a nearby winter...

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro with firebox- Mods

    I would not use any type of paint on the inside of any part of your smoker. I would be fearful of fumes from the paint getting into your food. On my smokers I bought a cheap spray bottle at WalMart. I filled the bottle with vegetable oil. I bring the temp up on the smoker with it empty in the...

    Steam Cleaning Grill or Smoker

    The only way I clean any of my smokers is with a hot fire. I have three smokers now, for the time it takes to get those layers in the smokers. I would never dream of washing them out. The more build up in a smoker the better the food taste.

    Lang 84

    Not to sound like a A_ _ Hole. I can't see spending that kind of money on that. If I had the kind of money laying around that the are asking, I would build one hell of a custom smoker and hang my head proud that this is my smoker I designed.
