    Brinkman vs. Chargriller

    It really comes down to what you want out of a smoke. Tending the fire, and learning the equipment is as much fun as the actual cooking. Actually, I prefer the trip over the destination! If you want set-it-and-forget-it, then the BSKD is not for you. However, if you are a pyromaniac at...

    "OTBS"

    Well Monty... Your idea is great! I like the idea of meeting new people, and competing with fellow members. Also, it would be nice to have regular gatherings with those who live close by. I guess, I was thinking on a bigger scale. My idea was to pick a central location, and work a plan to...

    "OTBS"

    Fellow smokers, Has anyone thought of calling a meeting of the OTBS? I realize that we are few and far between, but maybe with a little time and coordination I could have the chance to give y'all a hard time in person. Its just an idea, and something to think about.

    BABY BACKS & BRATS

    Wasper, I guess you are talking to me... :) However, you don't get as much grease from the ribs (if you do BBs), and I usually wrap my meat after about 4 hours. I really like the beans with the drippings from the boston butts, and you will be amazed at the difference in taste when you expose...

    You two would make a nice couple! Just think about the house that Q built...;)

    Brinkman vs. Chargriller

    Dutch, Since the BSKD was a father's day present, I would probably be strung up by my toe nails if I sold her! However, Bill said that he had seen some for around $189, which is a sight better than the $249 I paid! Keep your eye out at Lowes, as at the end of the season, they usually sell the...

    Boston Butt-Pulled Pork

    Thanks Joe! That post has been there a while and no one else picked it up. 125 degrees would mean a really long smoke...

    The Worst BBQ I make is the Best you ever Ate

    Unlike me!;):)

    Pulled pork won't pull! Help!

    Just a suggestion, but I smoke my butts at 225 degrees until internal temp of 165, then mop and wrap in foil and bring to 195 degrees. Once internal is to temp, I remove and let rest in a cooler for an hour or two to let the connective tissue continue to break down. When you remove, the meat...

    Brinkman vs. Chargriller

    Here are a couple more pics that I could not fit in the last post. Mind you these pics were taken when the smoker was new, and please DON'Tuse anything galvanized! If this is the way you go, the mods will make a pretty good smoker one that will cook just as well as the big boys!

    Brinkman vs. Chargriller

    Ok guys, sorry I missed the posts last night! I did three mods, starting with the baffle, as this is the most important one. Next, I constructed a charcal basket and support, which used some sheet metal and expanded metal I bought from HD. Lastly, I lined the bottom of the smoke box with...

    Dutch's New Ride

    Sounds like a real solid platform for a great car! If you are having to replace that many brake parts, then it would be smart to go ahead with the front disk conversion. You will really appreciate it! What kind of condition is the frame and body in? I have the impression that you live in a...

    Free wood swap

    Also, there are a lot of pecan orchards in that area. If I were you, I would look into a vacation on the coast and kill two birds with one stone. Its really a beautiful and historic place to visit.

    Free wood swap

    Its about 4 hours from my place in Atlanta, but only about 35 minutes from my parents' place on St. Simons Island. Its worth the drive to actually meet the man, and see the birth of your new baby!

    Free wood swap

    That's the way to do it! If you have a dry place to store wood, a half cord will last you a while if you only use it for cooking.
