The only issue I've had with mine is the coal/wood tray warped real bad. So I took some 3/4" angle iron & built a frame the same length and width of the tray, welded in some expanded metal & it works like a charm. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In West Texas mesquite is king. You'll get a stronger flavor from it, but using the same "blue smoke" rules you can make intake & smoke stack adjustments. It burns hot, but the coals still impart the mesquite flavor Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Tel-tru BQ300 is the most accurate gauge I've seen. Cost about 50 bucks though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Go the Webstaurant web site www.webstaurantstore.com They have a variety of trays and sheet trays. I use steam trays from there. Also Sam's Club sells restaurant supplies. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Gotta have another surgery this Friday and gonna be out of commission for about 8 weeks. The smokers will be cold & lonely but the girls will wait patiently I'm sure. In the meantime, everybody post plenty of q-view & maybe even some scratch-n-sniff ones! I'll be keeping up with the...

I'll smoke them along with the ribs, then vacuum seal them for another day. They are great cut up and added to a big old pot of pinto beans while they're cooking. Wife and friends like them in my beans instead of ham.

Some of my favorites (that I can post) 

Tri tip isn't found a lot in the meat markets or supermarkets around here in West Texas, so when I saw some advertised I jumped at the chance to give them a try. I wanted to use the smoke & reverse sear method rather than grilling it. Trimmed off the fat cap, slathered it with olive oil &...

Smoked 2 racks of spares trimmed to St Louis style last night & finished a 10# bisket up @ 1:00 am....so maybe technically I did cook today? :biggrin: Plan on just enjoying the fruits of my labor today & cleaning my smoker for next weekend. :yahoo:

Summer Mummers are still going strong, Nairobi Country Club aka Price's BBQ closed in 2009 right after Mrs. Williams passed away, & the Angels are now the Midland Rockhounds. They play in a fancy ballpark in the Scharborough Sports complex off W Loop 250. The old Christianson stadium was...

Ditto on the aluminum pan or an aluminum pie pan :biggrin:

Smokin' Al: Nice! Now that's a charcoal chute! :biggrin:

It was difficult to pour the hot lump charcoal from my charcoal chimney into the firebox on my Old Country BBQ Over & Under & get it all in without losing some or worse having some near misses getting burned. So to solve this dilema, I took a roll of 12" roof flashing, cut it to form a scoop...

I am an IT guy for the State of Texas but I don't play one on TV...... Microsoft released Edge as a complete replacement to Internet Explorer. It is based on an entirely new & separate engine than Internet Explorer & doesn't support ActiveX or browser helper objects. Since Edge is only...
