    Win a PRIZE A DAY from A-MAZE-N Smoker for Father's Day!

    We are doing two pork butts for pulled pork sammiches.  Probably gonna make some coleslaw as well.  It's going to be my first use of my (2 week old) Daniel Boone for pork butts - the last time I did one was on my Char Griller COS that took WAY too much babysitting. Looking for this one to be...

    Happy birthday to me!

    Sweet!  They had quite the setup, huh?  That store is fast becoming one of my top three favorites :  Best Buy, Menards, Grill Works.  :) I didn't get Grill Grates (might later), or a cover (again, I might later - it stays in the garage when not in use so it's out of the weather).  I think the...

    Parent's anniversary ribs...(qview)

    So, for my parent's anniversary, I thought I'd introduce them to my new Daniel Boone.  :) I rubbed them with kosher salt and put them in the fridge at 2AM (yeah, we got back late from a party).  I set my alarm for 6:00 and went to bed.  When my alarm went off, I went outside and fired up the...

    Happy birthday to me!

    Just wanted to chime in and say that, thanks to my wonderful wife, and a few other "sponsors", I have officially joined the ranks of happy Daniel Boone owners!   I went with the non-WiFi version for now as I figured I can upgrade to it later if I want to.  I took advantage of the Father's Day...

    My first pork butt...

    Thanks guys!  I read up on technique here on these boards before I started this.  The help and advice here is better than any cookbook.  :)

    My first pork butt...

    Nothing says Mother's Day like BBQ, right? And in that spirit, why not smoke a butt for some pulled pork sammiches? I have a Cheap Offset Smoker that I have modded, probably beyond necessary over the years, but it was fun.  Anyway, I have never tried anything any more interesting than ribs...

    New to the forums...

    Thanks guys!  Can't wait to try out some more things, the next "mod" I want to make to my COS is cutting a hole and adding a door to the non-firebox side to slide my A-MAZE-N pellet tube into.  Since I sealed up the chamber pretty well, it doesn't stay lit very long. Any thoughts?  I have used...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    "Theo" for theology because I love God, "geek" because...well...I'm a geek and proud of it!  :)

    New to the forums...

    Just wanted to say "hey" since I'm new to the forums.  I am also "sorta new" to the whole smoking thing.  I've had a cheap Menards Side Offset Smoker for a few years now, and it works pretty well for me after I made some mods I have seen here.  :)  Thanks for those by the way. I haven't gotten...
