    starting my reverse flow

    Been a while since I've posted, but been lurking quite a bit. I've been gathering parts, so I'm in the planning and cutting stages of my reverse flow build.  Starting with a small trailer I snagged to $50, a tank I snagged for free $$ and a firebox that will be a recycled woodstove that...

    help pls

    Keep in mind that if you weld stainless steel with regular mild steel welding wire, it won't have the nickel in the wire and all the places you weld will still rust. They make stainless wire and rods, don't know what your using. Regular expanded steel is fine, just season it and keep it sprayed...

    Uh-Oh bad weather coming

    Pics of the finished product in the crock pot and spritzed with 75/25 mixture of apple juice and apple cider vinegar. Turned out awesome could have pulled it with a spoon but I had to finish it in the oven double wrapped in aluminum foil. The 20 mile an hour winds turned into 25 to over 30...

    Uh-Oh bad weather coming

    Ok the thunderstorms moved in with 20 to 25 mile an hour winds. So I pulled the smoker up right in the overhang of the garage and fired it up. I didn't really think I needed both butts so I decided to smoke one and freeze the other. Had a roll of gallon width, cut to fit bags for my christmas...

    Uh-Oh bad weather coming

    I didn't check the weather before getting these two eight lb. butts ready for the smoke. After rubbing with mustard and dry rub I realized that severe thunderstorms are supposed to hit tonight and tomorrow. They are presently rubbed and double wrapped in saran wrap and resting quietly in...

    Discouraged: My UDS is not stable on temps

    Don't know how a UDS works but I assume most smokers work on the same basic principles. Air to and from the fire controls the heat and the amount of smoke into the cooking chamber. The trick is to get the proper temp of 225 to 250 AND the proper amount of smoke to the meat. I load all of my...

    Hello

    New to the forum. I have a charbroil grill/smoker that I modified. I tried to use it as a smoker on my first attempt at pulled pork. Turned out all right, but I had problems keeping the temps down low enough. Temp kept rising up around 300. I figured it was an air flow problem, so I got out...
