    Has anybody heard of HQ Fabrication Smokers?

    I bought mine from Bakersfield BBQ Pits as well. Works great and maintains the heat very well. Too bad he's not making them anymore. Glad I got mine before he stopped. You might want to check in Visalia. Sorry I can't remember the name. I Googled BBQ Smokers and got a few hits. Also Kats...

    Tri-Tip never Again

    That looked really good. I never buy preseasoned meat, they never taste good. Here in California every grocery store has them and they start at about $2.49/lb. They did get up to $7.99/lb about a year ago. I didn't eat tri tip for a few months. My brother lives in Florida and tells me he...

    I finally cooked my first pig

    How did you prep the pig? Dry rub, injected or just naked? Did you buy it alive or from a butcher? Was the 50lbs. live weight or butchered?

    First time beef ribs

    Well did my first beef ribs. The ribs I found were very skimpy on the meat. Took just a little over 3 hrs and 15 minutes. Used almond and kept the smoker at around 260* F. Sauced one rack at 190* and pulled them at 200*. Not bad if I say so. Still need more practice with beef ribs and need...

    good rubs for lamb?

    I use olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and minced rosemary . Mix all ingredients to make a paste. Just add the oil till you get the paste.

    Katbbqsmokers

    When I was looking into a RF smoker I also tried to get ahold of him. I got a hold of him and went to his place to talk about building one for me. He wasn't there, so I left and he called me a few hours later to tell me sorry it he had to leave. So I didn't order one from him. I ordered mine...

    how long do you brine (butt/shoulder)

    I've only done 12 hours for a 8lb butt. Maybe my next one will be 24hrs and 12hrs to see if I can taste the difference.

    What dos everyone pay for wood by the cord?

    Central California I can get almond wood seasoned cut, split to length for $200/cord. Oak is about $250/cord. Red oat is slightly more but have to drive 150 miles one way to get it. Grape wood is pretty cheap but burns too fast. I can get almond wood for about $125/cord but it's in 24" logs...

    Thank you . I did my first cook on my RF and did ok. Ran a little hotter than I like but still turned out good. Pro side, they cooked faster. Con side it threw my timing off for everything else.
