    Hello, fellow Illini

    I was born in Paris, IL and raised in Marshall, IL 15 miles south of Paris.  Graduated High School in Marshall and left for West Virginia University, wound up in the Navy (air squadron) and eventually my work moved me to Texas where I currently reside.  I just retired and hope to keep my smokers...

    Is there anybody out there?

    Mountain BBQ - I live in Texas currently.  Went to WVU back in the mid-to-late 1960's and was living in Beckley at the time.  Married a good ol' WV gal and we lived in the Elkview area (Pinch, WV actually) until my job moved us to Texas.  Did a lot of muskie (river) fishing on Elk River and...

    Pull behind smokers

    Good friend, Ronnie Davis of Ennis, TX, recently sent me a picture of his pull behind smoker.  Ronnie and this smoker can be found at the Ennis NHRA Track cooking when there is a drag racing event going on. If you ever go to an event at the Ennis Track, stop by and say "Hey" to Ronnie and his...

    new WSM on its way!!

    N2BBQ - been dry as a bone here until this past Friday when we finally got some rain.  Just not enough to make a trickle for any of the lakes - the ground soaked it all up. Need to get the covers off both smokers for some air time.

    new WSM on its way!!

    Here's my two smokers (Brinkman side fire box and WSM22.5) I installed locking casters to the legs and 2 handles to the cooking chamber of the WSM.  I'm replacing the high temp seal around the door and the lid - you can see a little bit of the seal on the left side of the door (blue color).

    new WSM on its way!!

    rdwhahb - I got my WSM22.5 about 3 years ago and did some mods to it. 1.  drilled a hole in each of the 3 legs at the bottom and installed locking caster wheels (don't go too small) 2.  I installed 2 more handles on opposing sides of the main barrel - this helps so I can rotate the main barrel...

    Hello from Texas (via West Virginia and Illinois)

    Hello, radsmoke74 - great idea!  I never tried blending the two but I sure will now!  Guess that means I'll have to get another smoker - one to do pecan, one to do black cherry and one to do the blend - just to compare. Thanks! Jim
