    Well I won't analyze the data until I'm done smoking and eating ;)

    Boston Butt's a smokin'

    I'm using the Stoker (complements of John Jackson of Rock's BBQ) with my own custom written software. I plan on trying to model the smoke process mathematically once I finish collecting the data.

    Boston Butt's a smokin'

    Thanks. The smoker is homemade, and this is only my second smoke on it. Doing the butt right now and will add the ribs about 5-6 hours before dinner time tonight.

    Boston Butt's a smokin'

    Thanks Bassman. The Q-View pics will come as soon as I fix a bug in the webpage software. For some reason, 5:30 is showing up as 6:30 :-/

    Boston Butt's a smokin'

    I started my Boston Butt at about 5:30 this morning (about 25 minutes ago), and things are going just fine. We're supposed to have some rain today, but I have my smoker under my overhang on my back patio. I also built my smoke stack using a threaded pipe, so I can actually rotate my stack and...

    Butt on my Camp Chef 24

    Rib Tips (brisket) and Skirt

    i plan on doing my first spare ribs this weekend, and i've been doing the usual reading about how to accomplish this. I plan on doing the 3-2-1 technique (or maybe closer to 2-2-1) on my St. Louis style trimmed ribs. My question, however, is what to do with this brisket and skirt. I've read...

    fatty help

    so what exactly is the internal temperature for a fatty? i mean how does one measure this with a probe thermometer with all the "stuff" in there?

    fatty help

    so does one usually scramble the eggs immediately prior to stuffing the fatty? eggs scrambled the night before (and refrigerated) sounds bad. also, does one usually cook the hash brown potatoes before stuffing, or should the smoke process cook the potatoes?

    fatty help

    well i certainly will be keeping the smoker at 240-250 for the butt's sake, so hopefully it will crisp up the bacon.

    fatty help

    i'm pretty new to smoking, and i wanted to try my hand at a fatty this weekend while i'm smoking a boston butt and ribs. since i plan to start smoking the butt at about 5:00 a.m., i figured that if i put my fatty on at that time then it should be ready around 8:00-9:00. i plan on stuffing the...

    Locating Lump Charcoal

    So a natural question then is which is better: non-American Royal Oak lump or Kingsford briquettes?

    Locating Lump Charcoal

    Thanks for the help folks. I went to another Wal-Mart here in town (we have several in the Mobile metropolitan area) and they have TONS of the Royal Oak. They have it for $5.26 for a 10lb bag. I'm not sure why they would have it but the Wal-Mart by my house (which incidentally is about 7...

    Locating Lump Charcoal

    Yeah I've checked the Wal-Mart closest to our house (i.e., less than 1 mile). I'll guess I can try the other ones. Perhaps Wal-Mart carries different items in different stores in the same town.

    Locating Lump Charcoal

    I'm in Mobile, AL and I can't locate any lump charcoal anywhere except Lowes, and they have the Cowboy brand which I've read isn't really that good compared to other brands. It seems that Royal Oak is the most popular, but I can't locate any. Ideas?

    Sealing a Smoker

    Well one nice thing is that we plan on running a trial run before painting to see if the primary leaks are gone. Since we're building this from 1/8" carbon steel, we plan to weld every seam first, and then we will look for any additional leaks (like where the doors close). It's these leaks...

    Sealing a Smoker

    Hi folks. I'm building my own custom BBQ grill/smoker, and I plan to use the Stoker to monitor and maintain the temperature inside the smoke chamber, but I need to try to ensure that my smoker is airtight. I've seen high temperature gasket cement like Rutland Hi-Temp Stove & Gasket Cement, but...

    Considering purchasing the Stoker

    Hi folks. I'm an Alabama boy (at least I still feel like a boy at 34 years old), and growing up I was taught that BBQ consisted of pulled pork (and that's about it). However, in 1999 I moved to College Station, Texas to begin my studies for my Ph.D. in Mathematics at Texas A&M, and during my...
