    Advice needed on my (unstarted) brick build (UK)

    so, i'm along for this ride, as i'm also designing a backyard grill & smoker that i plan to build at least partially with reclaimed brick from my chimney that i removed last year. i'm interested in how far you got before winter set in. i have a few considerations and thoughts... so if i seem...

    firefox broken after account upgrade

    so, i figured it out. it was actually my ad blocker. weird that it only did this after the ads were removed. maybe it was lonely and wanted something to block. i don't run an ad blocker on chrome, so that makes sense why chrome worked.

    need advice - leaky firebox

    that's the problem, though... i can't control the temps because (i think) it leaks so much. it's either 235 or 300 (or higher - ran it at 425 for some hours to season it, but that was with everything wide open), nothing in between. i also reached out to the old country folks to see if they had...

    need advice - leaky firebox

    well, i bought some lavalock gaskets and put them on the thing. afterwards, i noticed on the firebox that there's a 1/8" gap at the top of the firebox lid. on my old one, i could just bend it into shape while it was cool, but this is 1/4" steel - i'm not sure if i have enough oomph to bend...

    Help me decide

    so, the pork butt i did was great fresh, but the next day was pretty dry and needed sauced to help it out. i'm not really a fan of shredded meats - much prefer to sink my teeth into a hunk o meat, but i had to try it at least once.

    anyone near st louis mo want my old offset?

    it went down the road with a friend from high school - said her cousin had wanted one for a while but was hesitant to buy one. hoping he'll get some good cooks out of it.

    first time for short ribs

    so, here's an update - the rack that i did not trim was sooooo much juicier than the one i did. not as prominent of a smoke ring, but thats to be expected.

    first time for short ribs

    they are tasty - and take less time to cook. plus you get that rub flavor with every bite. 2 racks did cost me more than a prime brisket 5 lbs heavier though. i think brisket is still my favorite - i can fit 30 lbs of brisket on my pit where i can only probably fit 20lbs of ribs.

    first time for short ribs

    okay. so those were delicious. not as juicy as brisket.. but then we only ate the rack that i trimmed the cap off, so that might have something to do with that. like burnt ends except every bite was a burnt end. and now, for the pics... resting unwrapped and sliced. the eating part...

    first time for short ribs

    6 hour mark. IT is 160 or therabouts. bark is looking nice. having trouble keeping the temps steady. the thing seems to want to swing wildly. this doesn't seem to draw as well as the char griller. i might have to do a stack extension. ghetto fabulous.

    3 hours in - just took my first look. good color, but no bark yet.

    on a side note - you can really see that smoke in the twilight with the patio light on.
