    What's your occupation?

    Hey Grimm,  I may be getting hold of you soon to pick your brain a little bit about brewing... I really want to give it a try, I love craft beers and import but, they are way expensive for the good ones so I don't get to drink them as often as I would like to.  I figure brewing my own would be...

    What's your occupation?

    I worked as an electrician for 33 years, everything from residential to industrial, including 13 years as a lineman.  Worked pretty much everything from 4-24 milivolts to 500,000 AC.. Last 18 years as industrial supervisor.  I made a major career change about 3 1/2 years ago and am now an ICU...

    First time Boston Butt

    Yeah the temp control left a lot to be desired.  As far as time is concerned, I got started later than I wanted to, due to work, so I was too tired to continue later.  I will take all of that into consideration the next time I smoke.  I'm thinking of either a brisket or chuck roast next time. ...

    Thanks for the reply's!!! Smoke Break don't worry about the domestic...It was very tasty itself and way more moist than the wild but, I'm like you I do love wild meat!

    Thanks Guy's!!!! Hey Dutch do you have the plans to build those smokers? I kind of like doing things myself, I'm a big time DIY'er.

    Thanks guys!!! I will try both ideas very soon. At least the family agreed that the local BBQ place had nothing to out do mine.  The problem now is what to smoke next????? Jay

    I really need some direction!!!

    Dave, You said take out the water pan, do you advocate for dry smoking?  I always heard it added moisture to the meat but, never saw any real evidence to prove it.  I could place more coal in there if the pan wasn't above it. bkemp, is there some way to prevent this from happening? I have...

    I really need some direction!!!

    The charcoal seems to be burning fine.  I can't remember the name of the starting process but, I stacked my hardwood charcoal around an empty coffee can and started charcoal briquets in my charcoal chimney and then add them to the smoker when they are burning good.  If there is any way I can...

    First time Boston Butt

    Hey Smokers,  Well I gave Boston Butts a first time try.  What I wanted to do was to have pulled pork but, I had to go a round about way to get there.  First off I hate my smoker....It would not get to temperature so I ended up moving everything, water pan included to my grill.  My grill stayed...

    I really need some direction!!!

    It's a Brinkman 810-5502-W, made of thin sheet metal.  Don't have any pictures right now and too dark to get a good one now.  The metal itself feels hot but my meat thermometer tell a different story.  It will get to about 250 before putting meat in but, once meat is in it will not get back up...

    I really need some direction!!!

    Hey Smokers,  I've been a member here for a while and now I need some direction from some experts or anyone that just has a great idea.  I have a vertical charcoal smoker.  My main problem is that I can't get it up to temperature no matter the outside temperature is.  I have made some mods on...
