I just use a cheapo pizza pan with the holes in it, then slide it off the pan to finish right on the grate - crust comes out crisp and done every time and the pan start keeps the pizza from flopping down between the grate until it starts to firm up.  John

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything on here, and some time since I just sat down and trolled through the threads.  I was jolted back into it a couple weeks ago by fellow member TT Ace, who contacted me out of the blue via forum email.  He reached out and said that he and his...

...and thats how I blew up my first microwave oven!

Eclipse, Welcome to SMF.  Eric was spot on with his advise and comments above.  Smoking does take time to get right, but trial and error is the best way for you to learn what works best for your setup and the flavors that you and/or your family/friends enjoy in the end.  Read, read, read and...

My other suggestion was Mr. French, but then I would have classified myself as old with the tv reference!

Just acquired a gallon of it from an Oklahoma friend of mine that just left the islands - fantastic stuff for sure!

Its all about the moisture content and having enough O2 to keep them going - same issue I had with charcoal use and now that is solved!  Follow the directions to the letter and it should be no problem.

Spent all that money and research time for nothing - we already knew what would be found there!

I multi-task when my smoke is on.  Today I'm prepping some under-deck areas for dry storage of my "stuff" for when a storm hits.  I live in a very tiny place and the only storage I have is open underneath the deck.  Found some metal roofing panels that I will make a dry roof over, then some...

2 years ago I made a life changing decision to move from a hometown I had been in for 46 years, selling and giving away 98-percent of everything we owned. One of the toughest things to see go was my array of grills and a smoker I had fallen in love with.  With 5 suitcases, my wife and I moved...

I have a similar issue here. As the dreaded "Hurricane Season" ramps up for our area we start running our fridge and freezer a bit leaner in the event we loose power for an extended time.  Sure is agonizing having to eat such things!  Even found a package of pulled pork the other day that I...
