How did you come up with your screen name?
The ol ex-fix eh? Had one of those myself for about the same amount of time, but not on my arm. This pic is from 1997... I was stationed with the Army in Italy and also crashed my scooter... pretty bad. In fact, lucky to be here. Do you still ride?- k5yac

How to start wood fire for smoker
I use a chimney to start my coals... wait about 10 minutes until they are going good and then pour them into the firebox. Spread them out a bit (not too thin, but not in a big pile either), then top them with a good amount of fresh lump. That usually gets my tems up and holds em where I need em...- k5yac

Let's help each other out......
I will say that my guy's brats are pricy too, but they are huge, meaty (not as much garbage ground in) and mixed with a tasty variety of spices. Whether it's plain, mushroom, green pepper and onion, etc., they are way better than the Johnsonville variety, and worth the extra $.- k5yac

Let's help each other out......
Walke Bros. (Claremore, Ok) is selling pork shoulder and butt for $1.10/lb. They have the best meats around these parts in my opinion... the ribs and shoulders I bought were cut today. Got to tour the facility a few weeks ago... clean, well lit, workers had hair up, gloves and gowns... top...- k5yac

Newb here ready, willing and crossing fingers!
I'll tell ya what... I think you are starting out with the right stuff. Pulled pork, corn and ABTs are hard to mess up. As for the ribs, you might try the 3-2-1 method to improve your chances, but nothing wrong with just going for it either. That's the way I do it and I've had good results... -

Another noob...with a question
OddBall... The guy is a FREAK! Edit: I don't guess everyone would get that line, and since it sounds like I'm being a little abrasive... it is from Kelly's Heros. A funny movie that many have surely seen, and I kind of assumed that OddBall might have got his name from the show. Anyhow... -
Wow, I'm semi local
Hey Jeff... good to see another Okie. I had forgotten all about bologna. My Dad loves that stuff... says he remembers eating it as a kid at a store near his house. I think I'll throw him one on soon... too easy. -
Tuning a Smoke N Pit
I tried something similar with fair results. Click on my mods link in my signature. I like what you are doing... might I suggest the you drill several holes in the flat part of your baffle to help disperse the escaping heat a bit. Perhaps extend the baffle down the pit a little further and...- k5yac

Tulsa area briquettes
Hey fellow okies... I've been looking for a replacement briquette for my Weber grill. I was using Rancher briquettes from Home Depot, but the stuff has become unavailable (yes, I called the company) and I refuse to buy Cowboy. I want another briquette as they seemed to work well in my grill...- k5yac

Come to the conclusion
Northeast Oklahoma eh... as GT2003 asked, what town are you in... just curious. If you have a Warehouse Market grocery near you, head over and pick up a bag or two of Ozark Oak Lump. I'm getting 10# bags for $4 in Claremore and Tulsa stores. Got 8 bags on hand and plan to keep buying it...
