    All your fault!

    Hey guys and gals, After reading all these posts in this forum I now am a owner of a 36" Black stone griddle! So far just got it seasoned and make some chili lime shrimp tacos last night on it. I used to skewer and grill them, but a lot of the marinade would be lost. They were good...

    Difficultly grilling on a charcoal grill for a rookie. Need guidance please.

    OP: what type are charcoal are you using briquette? My suggestion if so is to try another brand like royal oak or the walmart version with is made by royal oak. I have regular Kingsford which I haven't used for like 3 years in the shed, ran out of lump charcoal and couldn't find any when the...

    Pizza stone recommendations?

    We have had our stone for about 12 years now, it lives on the side shelf of the gas grill when not in use, I think it came from Christmas tree shops, something like $10. I don't baby it, but do put it in the grill right after I light it to come up to temp. When it finally dies I will just buy...

    Pizza night!

    Those are some good looking pies Steve! I like the "proper" browned cheese pizza, when we order out, we ask for 'well done" to get that. When we make them in the grill I cook them the same way. I have tried making dough 3 different times with 3 different recipes and didn't like any of them...

    Buying My First Smoker- What Else Do I Need In My Shopping Cart?

    Gloves: heavy duty all leather work gloves, no need for anything crazy or super expensive (I weld for a living, plenty of hot stuff there). grill brush, plain old wire hand brush, if it's super nasty good old aluminum foil works like a charm crumpled up. Fire starters are for campers... use...

    Trouble keeping coals hot while smoking

    Looks like 3/4" sch-40 pipe from what I can make out from your pictures. I would think you need more air flow. Your set-up is basically a deep kettle grill. The more air in, the more oxygen for combustion, hence a hotter fire. My suggestion would be either put a hole in the side with a...

    Oklahoma Joe Highlands/Longhorn Wheel Mod

    why not change out the metal wheels for tractor wagon type wheels. I think harbor freight has them. They would give you a bit more "footprint" to help with the sand. And if your rig is too short make a little platform to wheel it up onto. I have a highland and am 6'2", it's a little low but...

    Smoker build Welder under $500??

    Ok first things first: what people are talking about is SELF sheilded flux core wire which is junk. It will stick stuff together, but doesn't work well. There are 110v inverter machines which will give you 150amps either with tig or stick, but they are around $1,000. If you have zero welding...

    Air movement advice needed - Ok Joe/Mod/Auto fan

    I have a jighland reverse flow and it too suffered from poor air flow. I also made a new stack. 3" x .065" stainless tubing which is 36" end to center. I used a 90 as well. It works like a charm. I also made a real baffle plate from 1/4" steel 2/3s of the length now it holds temps much more...

    Best way to kill surface rust.

    While that is good advice, the OP is asking as to how to remove rust I.E. Steel. So using steel won't harm it, now if it were aluminum or stainless steel, then yes it would be a bad idea. Also note that 309 and 409 stainless will and do rust do to their high carbon content. The 3M product is...

    Brisket to Wrap or Not to Wrap that is the question?

    I'm a subcriber of wrapping. Aaron Franklin does his briskets in butcher paper and he's know for his brisket. This was my second brisket ever and it turned out awesome! https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/second-brisket-ever-great-results.290971/#post-2001913

    My first WSM cook tomorrow morning; pork shoulders

    I'm not a subscriber of the super low and slow (225F), I don't have the patience for it. I like to cook pork shoulders around 275F-280F. pork shoulder is fatty and won't dry out (I also use a water pan). I wrap with butcher paper around 165F and cook until 205F. You'll get a bone that shakes...

    My latest 120 gallon RF smoker

    you could place a boards across the corners then strap the lid down and use a pry bar to pop out the middle, or use a board in the middle and try and "push" the corners of the door in to make it flat.

    Second brisket ever, great results!

    The yard-sale was a bust! It rained (down poured) mid morning, I think the wife sold about $50 worth of "stuff", she later sold some things on FB marketplace and made almost the same amount with out all the effort of pricing things and setting everything up. My daughter and the neighbor girl...

    SMOKING TIME FOR RIBS

    Depends on the type of rib, and how you want them along with what temp you plan on cooking at. I do St. Louis style ribs that run between 2.5 and 3 lbs. I like to cook ribs at 250F and cook them bone side down for 3 hours spritzing with apple juice after the first 45 mins and spritz every...

    500 Gallon that has waited years to be finished

    By looking at the video, they look to be roughly 80 degrees. A circle is 360 and a quarter of that is 90 degrees, the doors aren't quiet a 1/4 of a circle. Pi x Diameter will give you circumference. take that number and divide it by 360, that will equal 1 degree. You can then muitiply that...

    Bare necessities tool inventory for beginners.

    Here's my two cents: For a super basic build you should have these. 1. This is the most important! Have a plan from the beginning, this will allow you act rather than piece things along saving time and money from making changes. Plan out your build, even if you have to draw it out on the floor...

    Second brisket ever, great results!

    Thanks for the kind remarks. I was very happy with how it turned out. I am schooled in the ideas of Aaron Franklin, he's obsessed and his product shows. When a BBQ joint makes several thousand pounds of meat a day and sells out every day, it's not a fluke just damn good.
