    Who has a new-ish Peoria Custom Cookers Backyard model on a trailer?

    Not sure if anyone would know, but is black mild steel a safe material to make tuning plates out of? Like food safe, etc.?

    Is black mild steel food safe?

    Looking to have a friend cut me some tuning plates from black mild steel. Wanted to make sure this was safe to use for tuning plate material? Thanks!

    Who has a new-ish Peoria Custom Cookers Backyard model on a trailer?

    Just picked it up this weekend. My trailer is about 12.5 inches so I needed all of the 8" drop hitch I got for it.

    Who has a new-ish Peoria Custom Cookers Backyard model on a trailer?

    Am looking for the height of the bottom of the trailer coupler from the ground in order to get the right hitch. Can't get a straight answer from Peoria. First it was 17", then it was 15", then I got a picture from them that showed 12.25", a little ridiculous. Any help?

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    I don't mean to resurrect an old thread but was thinking about one of these backyard cookers from Peoria and was wondering if anyone knew why they: 1) Took the counter-weight off. Sarah Beth told me it's because "the door opens easier without it". I wasn't sure what to think of this so I just...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    I wish I would have know about these Hunsakers before I got the Gateway. Not sure if it's a big deal or not but my lid is slightly warped so it leaks a bit on the side and the air stack on the lid isn't even welded all the way around the bottom to the lid so I'm getting residue seeping out of it...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    I see it looks like Hunsaker is using briquettes in the vortex. Any idea why? Keep temps lower?

    Could I get the vortex charcoal basket and basically turn my gateway in to a hunsaker?

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    I will definitely try this. It's hard going from low and slow. I like my smoke rings and smoke flavor! How can hot and fast produce the same smoke ring and smoke flavor? Also on the drum...where should I position the lid exhaust in relation to the two air vents? In the back? (Would make a...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    Thinking about getting an 18 inch water pan to sit on the deflector. I wonder if that would hold things stable around 250 and even out the temps from side to side?
