    Second Hand Smoke(r)

    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...

    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...

    What's your occupation?

    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...

    I need some help....

    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...

    GOSM in the cold?

    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...

    Regulators

    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...

    Best way to reheat pulled pork?

    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...

    My Homemade Electric Rig

    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...

    My Homemade Electric Rig

    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...

    Did anyone see Emeril last night?

    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...

    How to hot smoke chicken

    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...

    Cooking background/training

    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...
