    Another batch of wings

    Yes, it works really well for long smokes. Let it run for an hour to get temp dialed in, then it's good to go.

    Burner problem

    Thanks for those links. They give me the idea to try. I had an extra burner like this so I cut the big end off and shoved it into the burner pipe and it seems to be working. It'll produce a nice blue flame at a lot lower level.

    Burner problem

    I've fixed the issue with the crappy flame in the short pipe. My issue is when it's turned down really low, it will quit burning down the pipe and start out the venturi. Doesn't do it all the time though. Would shortening the 4in intake tubes help? I appreciate any info. This 60in long 1in pipe...

    Counterweight location

    Thanks, I made this burner but haven't put it in yet. I think the pull out trays would be a good idea.

    Counterweight location

    Right now it's charcoal and I lift the lid and dump charcoal/wood in the trays in the pics. I have a lp burner I made I need to install. It originally was a hog roaster but I cut expanded metal for a rack. I can remove it and still use the rotisserie if needed.

    Counterweight location

    I appreciate this. I'll see what I can get done this weekend. This is crude drawing but does this location look about right?

    Best bacon

    I had some hogs butchered and had them keep out the bellies. I used Prague #1 cure, salt, pepper and let in sit in fridge for 18 days, 2 days in fridge for pelicles, then smoked at low temp for 4hrs, then next day smoked to 145°. Put in the freezer to firm up and run it through the slicer. I'm...

    UltraQ problem

    I'm having problems pairing the device with my phone. Samsung note 9. I can see it when I do a scan but it says "an app is needed to run this" I have the app installed. Anybody have any suggestions? Edit: I used my wife's phone and it connected right away. Guess I'll be getting a new phone 📱😁😁

    Today's brisket

    I did have a bit too much salt for my wife's taste but I thought it was just right. 😁

    Today's brisket

    I used a store bought rub my daughter got me for Christmas. Turned out pretty good. On the smoker for 5hrs and finished in the oven. Probably should have trimmed a little more fat off but oh well.
