    mailbox smoker ??

    I know a guy that has built a smoker from a drop type USPS box. I'll try to get some pics of it. I suggested adding a Char-Griller side firebox to it.

    I am officially a Drum Head!!!

    I won't use Rancher in my drums, the fats and juices dripping on the coals stir up the ashes and when I open the lid to turn or spray its all over the place! I save it for the WSM's.

    Enterprise Sausage Stuffer

    Take a look at some of the Enterprise stuffers on E-bay, some have been refurbished to like new condition, others-well you be the judge. I debated painting the outside of the cylinder and the arch, but decided to season it like any cast iron piece. I was a bit inspired by this persons rehab...

    Enterprise Sausage Stuffer

    I found an old Enterprise No. 25 Sausage Stuffer, Juice and Lard Press that is in pretty decent shape with all the parts. I did a search of the site and see a few others are still using them. I broke it down and bead blasted it, seasoned it and its ready to roll! Chop-Rite still makes parts for...

    Help with Refurbish on New Braunfels

    I refurbished a New Braunfels Silver Smoker last year and removed the firebox and put a stove gasket between it and the cook chamber, took the rust down to bare metal and gave it a few coats of Rustoleum Hi-Temp paint, after the first cook the paint burnt off near opening of the f/box. I put...

    Dip Tray

    I've had a GOSM for a few years now and put a galvanized drip pan from NAPA Auto supply, it's wide enough to catch the drips from pulling out the trays and turning any meats and not trash my cedar deck. @ $15

    My New Smoker

    Nice job on the drums Mike! If you don't go with the ball valves for regulating the intake you could plug the 1" holes and drill three 3/4" holes in a triangular pattern and use 1/2" E-box (bung) plugs. I know a guy that has small holes drilled into the plugs and regulates the temps accordingly...

    Pics from the Pacific Northwest Eggfest

    I cooked 5 dozen chicken thighs at the first (hopefully annual) Pacific Northwest Eggfest Sept.15th and would like to share some of the good times!

    Ugly Drum Smokers

    Since the drum cooks with direct heat the meats cook faster than an offset or indirect smoker, you do need to turn and spray or mop, but the fats dripping on the coals have a basteing effect or convection, I've done two 9lb. shoulders, 4 racks of trimmed spares and four 4lb chickens with one...

    Ugly Drum Smokers

    You are cooking with live fire, direct heat @24" or more above the coals, using wood for smoke. You load @10lbs of briqs and you will run out of meat to cook before you will ever have to add more charcoal/lump! No waterpan, no doors to fall off to add charcoal, I could go on and on! I have WSM's...

    Drum Smokers and my first competition

    Here are a few pics of the Alki Comp. This was a non KCBS sanctioned event with 1 hour turn ins. I have taken the KCBS CBJ class taught by Jim Minion and judged 2 comps to date. I plan on taking a PNWBA Judging class next season or sooner! My judging scores were all over the board from high to...

    Ugly Drum Smokers

    I built these based on the Big Drum Smoker design and these suckers ROCK! I have two 38" drums with 2 grate capacity and a 34" with one 22.5" grate. Direct heat-NO waterpan, steady temps, excellent results and easy to use! I personalize mine with Weber lids with dome thermometers, but the drum...

    Drum Smokers and my first competition

    I did my first BBQ competition, The Evergreen State Championship at Alki Beach in Seattle WA. Sept. 22-23. I used my homemade Ugly Drum Smokers for the four meats. I did this solo and my goal was to have fun and NOT finish in LAST PLACE! I accomplished that and finished 28th out of 34 teams! My...

    GOSM Vertical Box-- CHUNK FIRED!

    I misunderstood the cooker you're using. Mine is the propane GOSM. If I come across a used charcoal GOSM I'm going to get a Char-Griller side firebox and mod them together!

    GOSM Vertical Box-- CHUNK FIRED!

    I've got the 3605 GOSM and have had it for a few years and never have had a problem maintaining temps unless it was very cold and windy out. I use mostly chips for smoke and just got tuned into refilling the tray every 45-60 minutes. I stopped using the water pan, and use a pizza stone covered...

    cured my desire for a gosm

    I started out smoking on the Little Chief, I still have 2 though they don't see much action. The GOSM for me was a springboard smoker, I probably only had a couple disasters with it but it's like an old friend, still come back to it for those short weeknight cooks when I don't have time to fool...
