    BCF Question

    Yes...I've seen them made from what looks like a 10 gallon drum with 1/2 or 3/4 inch holes; similar to a chimney starter with a grate in the center...the top half is the charcoal basket, the bottom the ash collector. You fill with charcoal, light it, lower it into the drum...when you're done...

    BCF Question

    So where do you folks get your 10 or 15 gallon drums from.for your charcoal basket...or is there some other bucket type thing you are using? Is there an actual source or do you just keep an eye out and/or scrounge them up? I'm finding new open head drums in that size range are 50 bucks or more...

    Costco's vs Sam's club

    Any of you folks have experience with Sam's club meats? I generally go to Costco's for my meats, due mainly to their prime grade briskets but lately my selection hasn't been great and they havent had bone in butts all season. I'm headed to Sam's club today to browse but thought I'd throw this...

    Newbie needs equipment advice

    Okay...thanks for the ad ice...you basically answered my main concern...which was, will products in the $100.00 to $150.00 range work... Your opinion is yes... I've looked at LEM products and read the reviews...I was seriously concerned weather a $150.00 grinder would really work. Seems you all...

    Newbie needs equipment advice

    I've been smoking and curing for over a dozen years now but have never gotten into snack sticks and want to. I need advice on equipment that wont break the bank. I'd like a small grinder (electric) and a stuffer (crank, I think). I'm also curious about "jerky guns" and if anyone thinks that...

    Trail embers 22"

    So in summation... The trail embers 22 inch smoker is a very fine smoker... It held temps amazingly well (albeit the weather was mild and cooperative) I held perfect temps in the 235° degree range for 16 hours on less than 20 pounds of KBB origional... Minimal fussing once I got the vents dialed...

    Trail embers 22"

    So at a out 7.5 hours I had to make my first vent adjustment...the sun set, the outdoor temp dropped and I'm guessing that's why my cook chamber temp dropped since it was sitting right in the sun.
