    Bacon Butter Question

    Am I supposed to cook the bacon first, or put it in the food processor raw? Also, for all of you that have used the recipe, what kind of bacon did you use? Regular or maple or what? Thanks for the insight!

    Thanks! The smoke went good the other night, however, the paint on the firebox didnt hold up to the high heat.. The rest of it did.. But the firebox was just too hot and came off.. When I repaint that part, I will probably use caliper paint, I believe it said good upto 1200 degrees.. That should...

    On the advice of the forum, I picked this smoker up from Craigslist for $50. I stripped it down, repainted it with high heat engine enamel, gave it new hardware, a baffle, heat guard in the fire box, and extended the smoke stack. Only thing left is to stain and bolt on the board. I did...

    Thanks everyone. I picked it up on Friday and had a very successful first smoke n it on Sunday. I did a couple mods that were cheap and effective, I'll start a new thread and pics soon. Thanks to everyone for your input! Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

    New addition to the ZimQ family!

    Proud to announce that the ZimQ family has adopted a new member of the clan! She is still nameless, but we will decide soon. Picked her up off Craigslist for $50 today (thanks to all the advice from the forum). I'm pretty impressed with the thickness of the steel and how heavy and sturdy...

    That appears to be the same model. Does yours hold heat pretty well? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

    I typically use my Weber Kettle. However, there is limited room on it. I need something a little bigger. But I'm. Starting to think that this $50 deal may end up being more of a hassle than what it's worth Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

    Hi Yall, Looking for some advice.. Got an opportunity to pick up a used one of these for about $50. Looks to be in good shape, about 7 years old, no areas have holes or are rusted through, all the grates are there, looks stable and not wobbly... I know there are definitely some mods that I would...

    Whats your favorite BBQ sauce?

    I really like Montgomery Inn for a finisher on ribs, or another one called Uncle Joes. A couple go- to's that I have from restaurants is Starnes from Paducah Ky, 17th Street, and I really like the sauce Pat Burke serves at his place. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
