With ~12-15 lbs. in mine with a bbq guru I can walk away for 10-15 hrs. no problem. I still check it every now and again but never need to touch it. With only using the ball valve for temp adjustment, I make minor changes every 2 hours or so depending on conditions.
Here is my brother's latest giving mom a ride, he is always working on something and trading projects. This used to be an old mail jeep (notice the right side drive). He completely rebuilt the motor himself and got some help with the majority of the welding from a few buddies. Either way, it is...
I have a friend with one of those. It has the gas mileage thing in the roof that tells you what you are getting. With a loaded 26ft horse trailer, it gets 6 mpg. That stings. It also has an 8" lift on 40's with intake, exhaust and a programmer. Luckily he is one of those that gas is gas and...
This was my "fun" car, 2007 Mazdaspeed3. It was fully bolted making some really good power, lots of people underestimate the ole wagon. With getting married in Aug. and a family one day, it was time to grow up and move on...for now.
No pics required for anyone. 235K huh, not bad. My buddy's dad had an older Chevy 1500 reg. cab and just recently turned 300K. It has the original motor but the transmission has been rebuilt.
First off, I am an automotive nut. I always wonder what other people on forums drive and couldn't find a post similar so I figured I would start one and see if there is any interest. I'll start since I just got a new (to me) truck after selling my Mazdaspeed3.
Welcome to the family, my 2010...
I'm with Jrod. I added another grate to my UDS after a few smokes with just a top grate ~7 in. below the lid. The next one was another 7-8 under that and I just use a smaller pizza pan with lots of uniform holes in order to even out my grate temps. Lately I will also just put an empty foil pan...
I have not personally, but have been to a BBQ where it was. My only suggestion would be to use some sort of drip pan depending on what smoker because they will drip a LOT of fat/grease/whatever out of it depending on the cut. It was good though if you like goat, I'll pretty much eat anything...
Every style smoker is going to be a little different. Several people own multiple units (electric, gasser, stick burner and a SFB). It really just comes down to what your goal is. I have a side fire box smoker that was what I started with but that has since turned into a grill only for the most...
