    Can this be done?

    Why not just buy the firepan for this smoker? I have two of the charcoal versions of these. The firepan isn't but ~ $20 or so from Brinkmann...... Pull out the element and throw in the firepan. One thing worth mentioning is that the temp spikes quickly in mine if the door is cracked or any...

    Has anyone actually tried Big Bob Gibson's white BBQ Sauce?

    I'm from South Alabama (Monroe county) and had never heard of white sauce until moving up to Huntsville in 2001. I must say now that we eat it on a lot of things. We go to Big Bob Gibson's every time we visit Decatur if we can get in the door. It will definitely grow on you, but I agree if...

    need help with a butt!

    Here's how I do it with my own homemade rub: Rub liberally with rub of your choice. Then I flip the meat over fat cap side up. I cut an X into the fat cap and pack with brown sugar. I throw mine directly on the smoker fat cap up and smoke until it reaches an internal of 160-170. Then I pull...

    Trying to clone Conecuh sausage

    I grew up one county over from Conecuh Sausage. As a kid my grandparents would make trips over to buy all our sausage. I thought it was common until moving to Huntsville in 2001. I didn't see it again until around 2010. It's absolutely the best sausage out there (in my opinion of course) and...

    Can't decide on a budget offset smoker , Char-Griller smokin pro vs. Chair Broil Deluxe Gourmet, vs

    I just went through the exact same dilemma looking at the exact same smokers. Eventually I decided against buying any of them as I don't want to have to heavily modify something I bought for it to work as intended. I ended up building a UDS which I should complete this week. I figure if mods...

    Hello from Huntsville, Alabama -

    Once I get home this evening and finish up some things (assuming our baseball game is rained out) I'll try to get some build pics up. I had to wing it on a couple of things but I feel like I've got a pretty good setup going. I guess the real test will be the first cook on it. Thanks! Glad...

    Whole chickens advice

    I too use the beer can method and I've never brined the chicken although I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Just haven't felt the need to as the beer keeps the chicken really moist. I have found that using a dark beer such as a Guiness or a Murphy stout will give a little bit of a nutty flavor...

    Hello from Huntsville, Alabama -

    New to the forum but not so much to smoking. I'm 32, live in Huntsville AL with my wife of 11 years and my two sons. I help coach my son's baseball team in my spare time when not trying to round out my wife's never ending honey do list. We also like to camp. I was pointed to the forum by a...

    New to the forums, but not to smoking.

    Well, after lurking around the site for quite some time I finally decided to join. My name is Nick and I live in Huntsville, AL. I started smoking about 2 years ago after catching the bug from a co-worker (who coincidentally pointed me to the forums). I bought two Brinkman Gourmets from him...
