    BSKD stack hight???

    Remove the grilling rack and put the ash pan in it's place, this will direct more heat into the smoke chamber. Next throw out the wire coal rack and replace it with a fireplace grate. You can load up a lot more fuel for longer smokes. Preburn some large chunks and add them as needed...

    Smoked then Fried Chicken?????

    I was in the chat room a while back and suggested doing something similar. I was thinking of smoking chicken liver at a low temp, not enough to really cook it, but for flavor. Then bread and deepfry. The idea didn't go over so well in the chat room but I thought I would try it anyway, just...

    Smoker/Grill

    Without knowing the budget it would be hard to say. I can grill and smoke on my old Brinkman horizontal, think they call it a Cimmaron now or something like that. New it could be out of her price range, but used it might be found at a yard sale. The downside would be the cost and the limited...

    Is this forum getting to go belly up!

    OK, and now I'll have my say. I'm still kinda new to SMF, but not to forums. I moderate on one site and am site admin on another. It always seems like conflicts come up and usually given enough time it all blows over. At times as an admin I have to take measures to ensure the quality of the...

    Feral Cats

    Another option is to use the shells you have now, but add a short term silencer to the barrel. You can take a nipple for a baby's bottle and slip it over the end of the barrel. If you are using iron sights, cut a notch big enough to see down the barrel. It's only good for a few shots, but it...

    Wasn't sure where to put this, figured this was as good an area as any. I was wondering how many posts I have to submit before I can attain a rank higher than "Newbie"? I understand this is just a site related thing and only expresses a members time/posts since joining SMF. I think this is...

    First time here ...

    You've found the best site there is for info on smoking anything OldAirForceGuy. Anything you need to know, there is always someone here at SMF that is willing to help. Probably the friendliest site I have found in years. I can relate to the neighbor thing though. My nearest neighbor is about...

    Stepping Down

    Glad to hear your still going to be hitting the forums as time allows PigCicles. I'm still pretty new to this site but have spent a lot of time going through the forums and your advice in different threads was appreciated. I moderate another site ( has nothing to do with smoking ) and I can...

    Bacon wrapped salmon & bacon wrapped shrimp

    Looks good to me BBQG, never had shrimp like that before and the rum soaked salmon sounds interesting too. Keep us posted as it progresses.

    qustion about deer meat

    No doubt about it. The ability to properly field dress any wild game will effect the taste. Another area to concider is the is the adreneline factor. In my own experience I have found that animals taken with a clean one shot kill tasted better than the ones that suffered a bit before expiring...

    Substitute For Mustard?

    As mentioned before, make sure there are no ingredients in the rub that your guest is allergic to. Apply a generous amount of rub and work in well, then wrap with plastic and stick it in the fridge. The next morning all the rub will have absorbed some moisture and the butt will be covered...

    Tragic tornado in Iowa

    Prayers sent from this campfire also. I recieved this picture in an email today. I was told it is the same tornado that went through the campground. I can't validate this, but thought I would post the picture anyway. : Picture removed :

    tree identification

    From your description it sounds like a member of the maple family. Without seeing it I can't tell you exactly which one. How big is the tree and what does the bark look like? Maple is fine for smoking, has a light taste, kinda sweet. As long as the tree is healthy and is in fact maple, I'd use it.

    3-2-1 for babybacks?

    I prefer the 2-2-1 method. You can try both and see what works best for you. I've tried the 3-2-1 method but I thought the BB's were overcooked. Using the 2-2-1 method they taste great and wont fall apart when you try to take them out of the smoker.
