I built one of the drum smokers and have used it twice and am fairly impressed with it.Always one for over kill I put a door in the bottom to take the charcoal basket in and out.I got the drum from my bro in law who works for a canning company.It had food safe grease in it and a removeable...
Cheech,I notice in your signature you are a member of the Burnt Offerings Team.Is this the same Burnt Offerings that competed in Princeton Wi a month ago or so?
Well Brenda and I spent the most of the day at the Racine comp and felt it was time well spent.We met a couple from Saginaw Mi.That really spent some time with us and we felt that we learned a bunch.I think there was 7 teams there that were going to the Jack so it appeared to be a real tuff...
Another consideration would be chunking the fish if the bigger size smoker is an issue.I chunk and fillet out the pinbones before I brine and then smoke em that way.It sure is easier to handle that way and I smoke a lot of salmon and trout.I would guess in a year I smoke at least 200# of salmon.
WHEW,you are going to be busy.I cant tell you how much to cook but I most certainly would start as early friday evening/afternoon as possible.The key would be no matter how long it takes shoot to have it done way early as you would be surprised how long it will stay warm if you wrap in foil and...
The charcoal(Usually lump)is in a vertical chute,the top of which is a gasketed door so its sealed.At the bottom is a grate,the grate is at the top of an ash box which has a ball valve to control the air flow.Going up the chute about 3-6 inches is a tube that goes into the cook chamber.The...
Actually if you have some basic welding skills these are not very hard to build,just time consuming.I am getting ready to start the next version to try some different modifications.
Actually the merger or whatever was done quite a while back.I have seen some pics of the new gravity feed units.I have built a clone of the gravity feeder and these type of cookers are very nice.I saw my first real Stumps at a cmpetition a couple weeks ago but it was the old version.
Welcome Jim.DAMNED ashamed of my self for not seeing you here sooner.For everyone who has seen my adventures with my Stumper Clone,Jims site is where I got the knowledge to build her.His site is also a terriffic place to hang out.Always something going on.
Welcome to SMF.I think the cheesehead count is now 23.Where are you located?There are a lot more people in the state that smoke than most people think.Around where I live(Montello) I can count at least a dozen without even trying.They have a KCBS contest in Princeton and I toured it a couple...
Welcome to SMF.I think that makes the Cheesehead count 23.Depending on where your at in the staate I may be able to help you get hooked up with some different kinds of woods.I am in Montello.
I went to look around at a comp this weekend and on almost every kind of cooker had a guru or a convection fan other than the 3 or 4 big stick burners and one of those had a fan of some sort jury rigged on it.My stumps clone runs fine with out it as I dont open the door very often.I think where...
Josh,I have built a clone with some modifications over the way Stumps was doing it.If you have been following the prairie BBQ Association site thats where I learned from.I am building a new one as I want to try some off the wall things yet.There used to be a build thread on here but it...
