My wife loves to hit garage sales!! She always lets me know if she comes across a smoker. Sometimes I go with her, and it never fails if there is a smoker on the sale it's already marked sold, they go pretty fast around here. I can't believe he just gave it to you. With a little cleaning you...
Welcome aboard Paul!! It sounds to me like splitting the bird would be a real good idea, I hope it goes well.
You will be among some of the best company on the web here. Whenever I've had some question or thought, or even wondered how to do something, I've just come here and searched for an old...
I nominate Glued as the official "SMF Poet Laureate". If you don't know what one of these are you can check here to see what I'm talking about....

I wonder if instead of standing on the roadside leaning on a shovel if these people lean on a pencil...
Teacup,
I've been there with the dial up connection. Who'd have ever thought that surfing the internet could be something you could retire from....
I'll try and remember to keep them small...
I work as an Instrument and Control technician in a relatively small coal fired power plant. I've been doing this for over 21 years. I started out when the automatic controls were all pneumatic, we didn't even have a computer on site then. Now I can't imagine trying to do my work without one! My...
While I usually consider myself to be well above average at computer literacy, I have been stumped for a quite a while about something, and I finally am going to ask about it....
I have had some pretty good pictures of my past successes but never posted them. How do I put an image right in...
I've run my GOSM in temps down in the teens and had no issues. Very seldom have I had to run the burner at more than half of full open, even in temps that cold. I've decided that the staying out of the wind has been more for my comfort than for the smokers operation, it doesn't seem to care...
Generally two stage regulators are used in a situation where the failure of a single regulator would allow gas to flow unchecked through the system to the burner at a higher pressure than is considered safe.
The second regulator on the two stage regulator serves to prevent this from happening...
If the quantity isn't too large you might be able to do what I have done.
After pulling the pork I placed it along with the juice in zip lock storage bags. When I went to reheat it I used a large pot of boiling water and heated the zip locks in the boiling water. It restored the pork to the...
I always figured if we could get management approval, get the welders on board and build a huge smoker that we could use to feed all of us at plant/company functions... Imagine a huge smoker all out of stainless steel with automated temp controls and hooked into a 480v welding outlet. Man that...
Sweet lookin' rig!! You must have some Instrument and Control background, or other technical schooling. Well Done!!
We have retired old equipment here at the power plant that I have later wished I had latched on to for use in a homemade smoker... A couple of decent heating elements and a couple...
Didn't see it... But it makes one wonder, how many poor slobs in this world are missing out on true BBQ, and think it's just meat with flavored sauce on it? I bet a lot of them.
I really like to watch Alton Brown on Good Eats. This probably makes me a food geek, but I really like how he...
I've done both brined and unbrined.... I will be brining every bird from here on. The only exception being any chicken I cook on the grill.
I hope you are planning to do more than one chicken... If you're going to fire the smoker and take the time to brine a bird and tend to everything, then...
Cool site!!! I like all kinds of music... I used to DJ wedding dances and bars etc.... It's kinda nice to have a music library like this available on my PC at work
No formal training here..... Not unless you count cooking shows on TV.
I started cooking little by little at home as a kid, sometimes helping my mom in the kitchen. Then, when I was 16, I was allowed to go on a camping trip with my older brother and some friends. The catch was that I had to do...
