    Not Feeling the Cherry Love...

    I have not had much luck running all cherry. I dont look for it anymore since have to mix with oak or hickory which masks the little bit of flavor it can provide. My fav three are apple, oak, and hickory. Cant stand mesquite.

    1st time doing dry cure bacon.

    Looks great. I just smoked a dry brine belly today. Spiced it up with habanero, onion powder, and granulated garlic. I also think it tastes better cured this way. It cooks differently than store bought. Wasnt sure how it would work in abt’s but it did fine. Need to get another stainless rack so...

    Do hammer drills work as advertised ?

    look into using a lag shield concrete anchor if drilling into the brick.

    Do hammer drills work as advertised ?

    Could ask around to borrow one. They rent them too. Is it a brick fireplace surround or rock/stone? I wouldnt drill into brick as previously said, mortar joints ok.

    Options for building new smoker

    I am planning mine as well. I was thinking 34”x34”x72”. Reason the 34 instead of 36 is so would fit through a standard exterior door. May still bump up to 36 since I will be keeping it in garage and less material cutting. I plan on using 220 electric element with a pid. Will also be on casters...
