    Custom built

    Thought I'd show off a grill the company I work for built and donated to the local public golf course. It was designed by one of our engineers and fabricated by our weld & machine shops. You can cook with propane, charcoal or use it as a smoker. It rotates 360 degrees on the base to adjust for...

    Now that he's had a taste for denim, no one in blue jeans will be safe!

    craiglist smoker

    I got my CharGriller side box for $35, NIB. Walked into WalMart a couple of years ago just in time to hear them announce that everything in Lawn & Garden was 50-75% off (clearing out for Christmas merchandise). I figured I'd go check it out and see what kind of junk they had left. The smoker...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Mine started with my Great-great granddad who passed it down to my Granddad who passed it on to my dad then he gave it to me. I passed it on to my son and daughter just because it seems to be a family tradition.

    Converting to propane?

    I have a CharGriller side box smoker grill and want to convert the side fire box to propane. Seems to me it would be easier to control temps and eliminate the need to keep a chimney full of coals ready to go to replenish the fire box. I plan on using the regulator, hose and burner control valve...

    I learned something this morning

    I get 'em in a bag at True Value, they're pretty dried out (when you live in the plains of Kansas, you don't have many other choices!). If you don't soak 'em they just ignite and don't produce any smoke.

    Wind, temp drop = no goose

    15 degrees here this morning when I fired the smoker up, covered it with a welding blanket and it held 225 deg. just fine. Didn't have any wind though.

    When it's 15 degrees outside, you should bring wet wood chips inside.

    Invite a soldier to dinner...

    A friend of my son, a former Marine is coming for dinner, does that count? Here in about an hour I'll be joining up with fellow American Legion Riders & Patriot Guard Riders for a surprise send-off for a local man who's shipping out to Iraq early next week. God bless him and hope he returns safely.

    OK, Plan 'B'

    Should have added: it's a 13lb Butterball. I cut back on the salt in the brine just a bit to make up for the factory induced chemicals.

    OK, Plan 'B'

    Plan 'A' was this one: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=10877 Thanks to the advice I got on that thread and the search function I came up with a new plan: I'm going to brine the turkey using Dutch's apple cider brine recipe. Went to the tool room at work and "borrowed" a new 5...

    I'm about 30 minutes South of you! Garden City, too far from Heaven, too close to Oklahoma.

    Although I'm not a man of wealth or fame. Found this forum while trying to decide if I should smoke a Thanksgiving turkey. I love smoking & grilling, even been known to chip ice off the grill in January!

    Smoke it "just a little"?

    We don't plan on eating until evening, 6:00 or so. Weather forecast for Thursday is cold and windy; I'm afraid it won't be done on time. Wife is more afraid of that than I am! I could "borrow" a welding blanket from work to throw over the CharGriller to hold the heat in.

    Smoke it "just a little"?

    Hi, first time poster, found this forum while searching for turkey smoking techniques. In a nutshell: Due to work schedule, other time constraints and the weather forecast for Thanksgiving day I don't think I'll have time to do a full-fledged smoked turkey in time for dinner on Thursday. What I...
