    Who all runs a water pan in their stick burner?

    I had a Lang & always put a mud pan filled with water next to the firebox end on the bottom grate. It makes a huge difference in the side to side temps. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/mods-to-my-lang-36.280440/.

    Injecting Ribs?

    I have injected ribs with Tony C’s marinade with very good results. It doesn’t take much injection to really fill the ribs up. If you try it I would definitely leave the membrane on to help hold in the juices. Good luck! Al

    Damn.... Do Y'all Think They're Safe?

    I did a butt overnight at 180 degrees, it was only 160 after 12 hours. Let it ride for another 12 hours at 180 on the R/T. It made it all the way to 203 at 180 CC temp, go figure. IMHO they are totally safe to eat. Al

    Shipping Natural Casings

    As the above said, no ice needed. When you get the casings use this method to store them & they will last for years. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/how-to-handle-natural-casings.159729/ Al

    Upcoming membership payment

    I joined back in 2009, & immediately saw the info available & the kind & friendly atmosphere. So I paid for the lifetime membership, I’m a moderator, but still paid the full price. And even with Jeff’s discounts available now, I would still pay the $100 again. I’m not as active on here as I once...

    Bbq guru

    Yes, Chris is right, I had one for about 10 years. Great unit back then, so I bet they are even better now. Never even had to buy any probes. When I sold the WSM the Guru went with it & I bet it still works! Al

    Is this buckboard bacon?

    I agree with @indaswamp, we make a lot of BBB, and it looks just like the lean pieces in your photo. But I also have seen some weird looking bellies, although you would think that if they were selling cheap bellies they would be all fat, and real thin. Have you cooked any up to see if there is a...
