    Switzerland checking in

    BTW, here's a link I found on a Swiss site selling the Cactus Jack/Oklahoma Joe's smoker: http://www.partyware.ch/produkte/cactus-jack.html Very nice smokers! Is one of these the one you got? Also, I've always wanted to know how in the world "CH" ended up being the top level domain for...

    Switzerland checking in

    Let us know if you run across any Swiss-styles rubs... BBQ rubs that is! (lame attempt at a "swedish massage" joke... sorry that's all i got right now ) Seriously though, if BBQ is any different (ie, spices, methods, etc) in Switzerland I'd be REALLY interested in knowing about it... start a...

    New propnae vertical smoker

    mine's sideways in the wind and there's no problems. the manual says specifically to have the front door or back facing the wind - not sure why - but mine works great with the wind blowing into the side. that skewer idea has me thinkin' too... that's a damn fine idea you got there... a...

    New propnae vertical smoker

    I haven't done ribs in mine yet, but I've been wondering the same thing... I just assumed I'd have to cut the slab in half. Using the 4 shelves in our Grillware smoker, you'd end up with a 1/2 slab on each shelf. I'd be nervous hanging a full slab of ribs from a hook - although if you like the...

    "Devo" is perfectly acceptable and a heck of a lot easier to type We've been getting a *little* rain down here lately but not enough that's for dang sure - VERY dry in Tampa right now - all of Florida for that matter... water table is extremely low. We've got a place on a lake up in N...

    New propnae vertical smoker

    Did you add the wood in with the smoker cold or did you get the heat up before adding the wood chips? If it was already 300-350 and you put the wood chips in dry (without soaking them) then yeah they'll probably go up pretty quick. When I want a lot of consistent smoke from mine I take a...

    Temperature question

    Sorry I missed this on Saturday - normally I try not to worry about time and focus just on temps. How'd it turn out?

    New propnae vertical smoker

    Good thinking - tried that and still doesn't pull up. Also remembered that I bought it from my local Lowe's and they had 3 more in stock... oh well, can't expect the web to be perfect I guess.

    Easy Smoked Corn

    My wife's a corn on the cob FREAK and she says this is the best she's ever had! Here goes: 1) Pick your corn at the store wisely - get the ones with light silks... the lighter the fresher. You're shooting for silks that looks like baby hair, basically. Please don't shuck the corn in the...

    Wonder why you still can't pull it up on Lowe's web site? It's been available there for a while and it's hard for me to get my friends to buy them without a link

    BTW - me and ol' Dad had a big discussion on the hooks inside - what exactly would you put up there? Beef Jerky and link sausage is all I could think of

    New propnae vertical smoker

    Hey guys - sorry, been away for a bit. RacingStudebakers is on the money - the vent at the top has a little catch on it to keep you from closing it completely - that's the intended design and keeps you from messing up by accidentally closing it. Now all this talk about the smoke box is very...

    Howdy from Tampa!

    [wipes feet as he enters] At the behest of DeejayDebi I thought I'd drop in and say "HI". Just joined the forums a couple of weeks ago, and this is a GREAT resource! A little background - I've been grilling stuff forever, but have always been a fryer kind of guy. Recently I got interested in...

    New propnae vertical smoker

    I got one of those about three weeks ago and have smoked a pork butt, some sausage, some corn, a couple of pork tenderloins, and a few chickens on it so far, and it's been GREAT! The *only* thing that I've noticed about it is that the propane control is very touchy - there's a very fine line...

    cedar plank cooking

    Hey, 1st post! Smoking salmon on cedar planks is AWESOME... my only issue is where to get the cedar. I can go to local cooking stores and buy 4 planks for $12, which seems like an incredible rip-off. I know you don't want to use any treated cedar, but I was wondering if the cedar shingles you...
