    Pork Belly Burnt Ends

    First time trying these but figured they should be a hit at the neighborhood party later this afternoon. Cooking on an offset smoker with post oak. She's been running hot today so trying to back her down to around 250.

    First Offset smoker

    My first thought after an afternoon of messing around with this smoker is temps hold steady but it is going to eat up some wood. Glad I have some post oak being delivered this week!

    First Offset smoker

    Well I went ahead and finally got an offset smoker. Have had it fired up all day and so far so good. No leaks around the doors or anywhere else. About to throw some chicken on just for fun. But about to rain so that should be interesting! I got the Old Country Pecos.

    Debating on which smoker to get

    Ok thanks I'll have to check that out. Any brands that you would recommend then? Not the most handy but maybe they are not that hard to build, lol.

    Debating on which smoker to get

    Thanks I'm going to call around to some stores in the area and see if they have any original Wranglers left. I saw the Wrangler 2 in the store and seemed pretty flimsy. The Pecos was much more substantial f

    Debating on which smoker to get

    Thank you for the replies. On the WSM, can you get that deep dark crust on a brisket?

    Debating on which smoker to get

    Hi All, I'm debating on which smoker to get. I've got a MES currently and have enjoyed that for the last few years. I do miss the true smoke taste that I think you can only get with a stick burner however.  I'm thinking either a Pit Barrel Cooker, WSM or offset cooker such as an Old Country...

    Brisket Today

    Looks great! How do you like your Old Country Smoker? Been looking at those lately and am close to making a decision.  A lot of WSM fans around though and those sound easier to control the temperatures than the offsets.  Just curious how you like yours. Thanks!

    starting fires and learning the hard way

    My kind of sick day! I'm going to take out that little screw as well.

    starting fires and learning the hard way

    Yes, both sides at the top part of it. Sorry should have been more clear. Just bent it a little inward which made it not so darn tight of a fit. There is a screw that looks like it attached the housing of the heating element that mine seems to get hung up on until I bent it a little. Could...

    Brisket stalled out...question

    It finally got up to temp around 7:45 last night. Just sat there at about 170 for a couple hours and then finally got going, for a cook time of about 11 hours total. Threw my dinner timing way out of whack for sure but next time will give myself about a 2 hr buffer just in case this happens...
