    first smoker build

    There is nothing wrong with that.  As long as the pipe diameter is big enough to get the correct draw.  I assume your talking about welding the pipe to the end of the firebox and not thru the inside? I have seen this done a few times.  Keep your holes in the pipe along the front and back side to...

    Gotta love good neighbors

    I have to do a big brisket this Friday night for a party on Saturday.  I will probably throw something on there for the neighbor.  Don't know what yet.  Probably some pull pork.

    Simmer?

    I know most bbq sauces get simmered for a bit.  How long does this need to be.  I just did my first ever batch of sauce and used Jeff's recipe.  I did simmer it for a little while even though the directions didn't say to.  Was I supposed to?  If I was, how long should it simmer?

    Gotta love good neighbors

    My neighbor a block down the street has a mini saw mill at his house.  Earlier this summer I asked him if he ever had any scraps of anything I can smoke with if I could have it.  At the time he didn't have anything and eventually I forgot about it.  The other day while I was out tending to my...

    Does anyone have a classic 50s Ford or Chevy Pickup

    I am working on a project with a buddy for the kids school and need a couple photos of the rear of a 50's pick up.  Going to make a plywood silhouette with a drop down tailgate and want to make it actual size.   Would like to get a picture from straight behind the truck at gate level from around...

    My Stufz Burger made the finals........Help Me win $5,000

    Bear, it seems that Texas is the only option.  Just pick Texas as your state and you are good to go.  It doesn't need you real address anyway.

    Todays Smoke - In Progress

    After 8 hours, the pork is done.  It went quick today, don't know why, but I am not complaining.  Now I get to go to bed at a decent hour and hunt in the morning.  But the work isn't over yet.  Another hour of its nap and I can start a pullin.  I foiled the pans at 165 and pulled the coals at...

    Todays Smoke - In Progress

    After 3 hours, the short ribs and trout are done. This is the first time I have ever had short ribs and man o man, they are good.  They smoked a bit faster than I thought but an early dinner is ok.  The fish tastes great as well.  Started out this smoke with lump coal and for some reason...

    Todays Smoke - In Progress

    I got a variety of items on the smoker today.  Some things for dinner tonight and some for a party next weekend.  Starting out this morning getting a couple butts ready.  I decided to try something I have done on pot roasts.  I peeled and cut up some apples.  Stabbing slits in the butts, I took...
