    Whole hog?

    Doing a whole hog in June, and am pricing them out now. One question for those in the know, what is the difference between a whole hog, and a whole hog shaped for BBQ?

    Biggest smoker build... = success?

    Angle iron is expensive, but on my last build, I used bed frames.  It's amazing how many people have them laying around, and just want to give them away.  Not thick enough to use in the firebox, but heavy enough to use in a cooking chamber!

    Looking to build another RF smoker, and need input.

    I'm looking to build, I just haven't seen many home made combination smokers. I found some info on BBQ brethren, maybe I can come up with something.

    Unfortunately, I don't have the $60K for the David Klose BBQ I want.

    Looking to build another RF smoker, and need input.

    My unofficial catering business is taking on a life of its own, and I'm realizing I need something bigger than my last build. My ideal build is a RF smoker, with a warming cabinet over the firebox, as well as a vertical cabinet on the opposite end. Does anyone have any tips, plans, or experience...

    $4 each? That's a steal! I've got them in my smoker. I had to narrow mine down to fit, so some bracing was needed. I ground the paint off the top surface, and pitched them in a bonfire to "clean" them up, and have no complaints.

    Christmas prime rib, w/Q

    I've got a turkey to deep fry for the in laws tomorrow, but the prime rib tastes as good as it looks, and there's leftovers too!

    Christmas prime rib, w/Q

    A little over an hour in, 63* and climbing. Just walked back in the house, and my 16 year old son told me I smell good.
