    Ebay grinder-stuffer

    They say that it is a 1800 watt (2.4 hp) grinder, but that is a peak rating. I think that rating is conveniently placed (OK, here is where I go all nerd on you guys) because at 746 watts per horsepower, for a 120 volt service, it will draw exactly 15 amps...which is the standard breaker size...

    A message for the guests!

    I bet a good number of them are members. If you just hit the internet and browse without signing in I think that you are at that particular moment "a guest". Just a thought...sign in you goobers!

    disconnect the power source?

    Don't have a MES, but I did remember this thread and it may be of use to you. It talks about the things not turning on properly when it's cold outside, and by taking it inside as the lady suggested you are allowing it to warm up. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=84939 This...

    Do you get sick of your smoked food until a day or two after you smoke it?

    It is worse at comps where I throw a Friday night party and then cook all night to turn in on Saturday at noon. In fact, I usually smell so much smoke that if you cut me open I would probably have a smoke ring! I pack stuff up after I turn in and the next day I can really tell how good it was...

    1st Rib Competition

    Ditto...The regionally accepted sauce and flavor profile will be what is required to win. If you have been there before as well, then you should have an idea of what will be required. Good luck and let us know how you do...It sounds fun!

    Temps too High in WSM - Can't Get Them Down

    Just checking but you didn't say if you were using the water pan or not...and does it have water or sand?

    1st Rib Competition

    One suggestion is to find out if it is going to follow KCBS rules...is there going to be a garnish? Who is going to judge the ribs? When I'm cooking for bbq rookies, fall off the bone is required, but certified BBQ judges want a bit of tug...if you take a bite, you should remove the meat...

    Newbie Question

    Hey 500, It might depend on the type of smoker, so add some specifics to your question if you can. If it is a MES, I believe it has specific directions on burn in. If it is something you or someone else has built, I would first clean it out, and then fire a hot fire to burn off any residual...

    Famous Dave's BBQ

    PK, You are going to find that there might be some element of BBQ Joints that you like, maybe the sauce, maybe the Ice cold beer, maybe the rub or hot sauce. Having said that, the more you dig into smoking your own, the more you refine your craft and there won't be a comercial joint out there...

    Rookie without a clue...1st ABTs

    SS, Those look absolutely perfect. Bacon looks good and crisp and a great smoke color to them. You have the photo thing mastered too...for a job well done. As a tip, if you keep some of the veins and seeds, you get to drink more beer to cool yourself off!

    Rookie without a clue...1st ABTs

    Don't know how they can make it so good and sell it so cheap! BTW, Good looking ABTz and your pic came through just fine! Send more pics when they are done along with your after smoke report!

    smoker protection/grates

    Use it...after your initial seasoning, fire a couple of butts it will season nicely and rust will not be an issue. It will season just like a good cast iron pan. Expanded metal works great for grates. If you are spanning a distance, just build a frame around it to keep it from bowing...

    Galvanized Steel

    It should not be used in a smoker. I have even seen one thread where the smoke basket was being made out of galvanized, and the argument was forwarded that the temp of the smoker is well below the heat required to make the zinc harmful...The trouble with that argument is this: The smoker may...
