    Is it me or the casings

    The only experience I have had with these kinds of casings were bad. I only use real hog casings. I had same problem and got tired of wasting my money when hog casings worked better. Good luck

    Finally trying my backyard wood smoker

    So far working well. Consistent heat. Got to figure out a better way for the smoking. Wood catches fire so wrapped it in foil and pocked holes in it. Doesn't really put out much smoke. Will find out in about another 2 hrs.

    Finally trying my backyard wood smoker

    Finally trying my homemade smoker. I built it for a whopping $25. Got some baby backs and a whole chicken. Haven't got racks made yet so hanging them. Will post a few picks soon.

    Smoking my first brisket tomorrow. Any help appreciated.

    As with anything, everyone has an opinion. The way I reheat mine is put it in a skillet, add a little broth or water and put a lid on it and reheat. Not a lot of liquid or the meat won't taste right. You are just steaming it to reheat. At least it works for me.

    Calculations for building smoker

    I am new to the forum. Built a small smoke house and works great but want to build a trailer mounted smoker using propane or oxygen tank. Was wondering how you figure opening size for fire box to smoker and what size my stack should be to get best efficiency. Also has anyone used a reverse flow...

    Anyone ever use Garlic cloves instead of or with wood for smoke?

    I tried it once. Agree there are better uses for garlic. Actually gave it a burnt taste. Used it with chicken.
