    3/8” steel

    I totally agree! I made mine out of 3/8 pipe and have no problems doing a Christmas prime rib in 9 degree weather. It’s heavy but works great!!

    How long can I let a brisket hang?

    You’re right on wrapping them in foil. I was thinking I would do that this time just long enough to push through the stall and then unwrap it and finish it off naked in the pan. Thanks Walt.

    How long can I let a brisket hang?

    So I am cooking 4 butts and 2 full packer briskets Saturday for a party we’re hosting Sunday. I’m not too worried about the butts because they can be reheated easily in a roasting pan but I want to do a better job with the briskets. So here’s what I was thinking. Cook to temp the day before...

    Superbowl Sunday

    Cooking up a couple chuckies to take over to our friends. Figured I would make burnt ends out of them and use them for finger food. Tom Brady went to Michigan so most Michigan fans root for him around here.

    Charcoal basket question.

    I have a 22" long by 20" firebox on my offset. I am making a charcoal basket for my smoker and the door opening is only 12" wide. My question is if I make this basket 12 inches wide by 19" long by 10" deep is that gonna be enough or too much for my 52" by 20" round cook chamber? Any thoughts...

    SMOKE STACK BASICS

    When I made mine I used 6” pipe for my stack because that’s what I had on hand. Mine is too short though, it moves air well but smoke hits me in the face so I’m gonna extend it another foot or more when I get more pipe. You’re right it is a great thread!

    That sounds good to me. I figured if they are that cheap I'll buy three and do one as pastrami and the other two I'll cook and just slice up and serve with some bbq. Its gonna be pretty windy here tomorrow so Ill be fighting that all day. I'll post some pics tonight and tomorrow. Thanks guys!!!!

    X-mas Prime rib question.

    I was thinking on starting it on burned down straight oak and then adding and finishing on just charcoal. I have a offset smoker and usually burn mostly wood. I don’t want to make it too smoky. Do you think it will overpower the meat?
