    Good morning. Where did you get your steering bits and pieces like the ball joints and connecting rods? Thanks

    Baby Backs Hung Vertically

    I have several bacon hangers from back when you could buy bellies for less than bacon. They come in different widths and work pretty well for hanging rib racks.

    Hello everyone. I am Mike. New here and new to smoking meats. I look forward to learning more about all this.

    Edit: Oops, I had two threads posted and sent the replies to the wrong posts.... Mikey, I'm in Pinnacle, NC about a half hour north of downtown Winston-Salem. Where are you?

    Why Durum Flour is perfect for pasta

    @indaswamp , that's a good video. We make a good bit of pizza dough and bread dough with about 1/3 semolina flour As you likely know, semolina flour can be hard to find. At places like US Foods Chef'Store, Restaurant Depot or other food service stores you can usually find 50 pound bags of...

    Alcohol might have been involved

    Publix will quite likely have that sale going again this week due to New Years Day coming up. At least here in the Winston-Salem area they'll give you a whole rib section at that price if you ask. Or anything up to the whole rib section. The whole section is 7 bones and usually they are...

    Piwo

    We sold our farm in Sennett, outside Auburn, NY 6-1/2 years ago and moved full-time to our North Carolina place. Our farm was right next to Elderberry Pond, the organic farm and restaurant in Sennett so we ate there often but one of the places we'd go to in the Syracuse area was Eva's European...

    Mill Scale inside of smoker

    I have been known to hide my mistakes, too. It usually involves a dark night, a secluded spot and a backhoe, though.... At two hours away, I'd see if they'll deliver it.

    Making up for lost time

    Looking good! I would note that BBQ pork freezes and reheats wonderfully and you could smoke a full rack and then freeze half to have quick BBQ fix later. We often do that and after thawing it we warm it back up in the microwave and toss the heated ribs on the grill for a minute or two on each...

    Mill Scale inside of smoker

    First, I confess that for some reason I missed the word "inside" in your thread title and was thinking of the outside of your smoker when I commented on scratches. If my brain cell hadn't spaced out on the word "inside" my advice would have been the same as his; oil the mill scale and forget...

    Mill Scale inside of smoker

    Thicker hot rolled steel takes longer to cool than thinner steel and develops a thicker, harder scale than thinner sections do so the examples of cleaning thin wall tubing shown are not the same as you have to deal with. What you have is going to be thicker and harder and you have a lot larger...

    Still remember the old BBQ list days when 9600 baud was fast

    Why I remember my first mastodon brisket. It took two days and a cord and a half of wood to get past the stall..... And would I be dating myself to note that my first computer language experiences included the then new languages of FORTRAN and COBOL? Or that about 14 years later the first...

    Who still has one?

    I spent 29 years as an Army infantryman with the first 7-8 year s spent eating C-Rats. Some of my earliest tactical training memories are of stripping out the C-Rat stuff you weren't going to use and stacking the cans in a tightly tied off spare sock during you pre-combat checks so that they...
