    Purchasing wood/amount

    What CB said.  1/3 cord is a pretty good stack, and depending on the size of the logs, you may end up having to cut them down or split them yet again to fit the firebox.  I looked at a 1/4 cord of oak for $85 here locally, and when I get it delivered, I'll be splitting some of the larger round...

    Lots of ash from Kingsford Blue Bag

    Tried a bag of Stubb's Natural Briquettes I picked up on sale at Lowes. Their web site boasted of less ash than other brands & no binders. It had as much ash as did the Kingsford blue bag. Definately switching over to lump after this.

    Is there an easier way to get my gas smoker up to temperature?!?!?

    I had that type needle valve that came off an old fryer I had.  I was able to use it with a few fittings from Home Depot.  Just cracking the propane tank valve won't help, the regulator will deliver the pre-set pressure since it is down line from the tank valve.  When I use my Char-broil...

    Pork Bones - Any use for them?

    Oh man!  Pozole is something that brings back the memories for me of growing up and my Grandmother making it on a cold day with flour and corn tortillas!   I have got to try using the smoked bones as you mentioned when I make it for my family.

    Old Country BBQ Pits Over and Under Smoker

    Tobyth, I have searched for one that will fit my Old Country O & U with no luck. I'm going to have to go with a custom made cover.

    Old Country BBQ Pits Over and Under Smoker

    Yes, they are exclusive to Academy even though some of their offset models are available on the Old Country BBQ web site. Academy is now carrying a huge Old Country vertical that isnt available directly from their Uvalde facility either.

    Victorinox slicing knife, granton or not?

    I have been using a Mercer Millenia 14" slicer with a granton edge and really like it.  Stays sharp for long periods and the handle is very comfortable.

    Buy spares and trim yourself or buy St. Louis style?

    I prefer buying spare ribs and doing my own trimming, rather than buying the St. Louis ribs already trimmed.  The local HEB (Texas grocery chain) always has both and you pay more for the St. Louis.  I don't mind the extra effort of trimming them myself, and then I have those trimmings I either...

    Smoker build from a safe

    Too cool! Everytime I see a gun safe the wheels start turning on how can that be made into a smoker? :biggrin:

    Water expansion tank??

    Can't tell if its galvanized or painted with aluminum paint from the image. Have you tried lightly sandpapering a section to see if its painted or not? Heres a test procedure from eHow.com. It might work for you to see if its galvanized or not. Where it says wipe the solution on the steel...

    Has anyone given their smokers names?

    Just curious, but have any of you members of the Brotherhood of the Thin Blue Smoke given your smokers names?  Thought it might be interesting to see what different folks call their smokers.

    Lots of ash from Kingsford Blue Bag

    I recently broke in my new Old Country BBQ Over & Under and used Kingsford blue bag for my coal bed.   Used a chimney to start it and then added oak splits as I went thru the 8-1/2 hour cook.  The firebox runs the length of the cook chamber offset below the back side, so the coals were spread...

    Coal brickets

    Stubbs barbeque sauces had been owned by Whole World Foods (the company that CB Stubblefield founded) in Austin until this past June.  McCormick (the spice company) acquired the company at that time.  Stubbs charcoal briquettes and wood chips are distributed under license to use the name by...

    Water Pan, Questions...?

    My 2.25 cents.....a disposable aluminum loaf pan will work fine. If the water gets low when you're checking on your cook, be sure to add hot water. The guys I know that use an offset put their water pan on the firebox side and on the same grate with meat.

    First Cook On My New Old Country BBQ Over & Under

    The best wife ever got me an Old Country BBQ Over & Under smoker for my recent birthday. I have a Char-Broil vertical gasser I've done mods to to get to where I like it, but I've been wanting to move to a charcoal/wood burner  for a while. This past Sunday was my first cook on it, an 8 pound...
