    stacked drum smoker?

    I haven't found anything on the web on this. Can't believe I'm the first one to think of it. Maybe not using the right terms to search. Anyway--any idea on the idea of stacking two 55-gallon drums? Cut a door in the bottom onefor fuel, add intakes like uds, then cut a large door hinged on...

    Big A$$ Brisket, should I be scared - with Qview

    I'm pretty new to brisket, so excuse me if this is obvious to the rest of you, but why honey? And why on top of the rub? Does the honey replace the sugar in the rub?

    Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans"

    The first time I made these for a family potluck, I smoked them in a foil pan, then refrigerated overnight. Into a slo-cooker crock the next day for reheating and serving. They all disappeared, many good comments, but I wasn't happy with the presentation. I sorta smooshed a bunch of the beans...

    Brisket on SFB?

    With the diffuser I have at the SFB opening into the main chamber, I only vary about 10 degrees across the cooking chamber. SFB side is cooler by about 20 degrees using the chimney-dryer duct extension internally; Without the extension, the SFB side runs about 10 degrees hotter. I know some...

    Brisket on SFB?

    I've done butts, but never a brisket. This will be on a CG Duo with SFB, with the deflector mod to keep temp down coming out of SFB. I assume I put the thicker end towards the SFB? I'll be using lump with chunks of apple and/or pecan.

    New charcoal basket, galvinized mesh

    The welding instructer said they have been using it with no problem. If you look, you'll find numerous sites on the web detailing using galvanized trash cans for smokers. I'll state that I have 1st hand knowledge of galvanized being used in smokers for a number of years with no ill effects...

    New charcoal basket, galvinized mesh

    I made my basket out of galvanized 1-inch hardware cloth attached to a weber charcoal grate. 6 months ago. Nobody's been sick or died yet from my food yet.

    The Tale Of Two Butts And My Confusion

    You're right on the nose with that. It took me awhile to accept it. For years, my work required exactness in financial projections. This smoking business has forced me to relax and go with the flow quite a bit more than I used to do. Ya just do as you mentioned--plan a long cook and eat when...

    wood in Oklahoma

    Academy Sports and Outdoors Many grocery stores carry smaller bags. Look in the classifieds in the paper for firewood--somebody should have an idea of what kind of wood they're selling. Ace hardware carries it here in Tulsa. Atwood's, maybe? TSC? Whatever's in your neck of the woods is...

    The Tale Of Two Butts And My Confusion

    20 hours for a 8-9 lb butt in my UDS isn't unusual. I keep it around 220-230 in the middle of the grate. It's hard to compare a shoulder and butt, even if cooking at same time. There's just too much "personality" to meat. Some pieces are stubborn and plateau "forever", some sale right...

    Are These Drums Safe For A UDS?

    I'd burn it out and use it. The steel isn't permeable, so nothing "soaks into" the steel. All a burnout does is what it says--burns out any residue left in the drum. It'll never be as hot when you're smoking as it is when you burn it out. If it is, you've other issues--such as scorched Q...

    UDS Question, this puzzles me

    I noticed the same situation on mine last time. Couldn't figure out why the !@##$# fire wouldn't go out! I checked and rechecked the intakes to make sure they were closed and not letting air in. Even took the lid back off and looked down into the drum to check for daylight slipping through...

    ABTs reheatable?

    Thanks for all the replies. No toaster oven available, but I'll give the nuker a shot. I'm sure some of the guys will be perfectly happy eating them cold, too.

    ABTs reheatable?

    I take a bunch of Q into work every so often. I've thought about doing ABTs, but I don't know how to reheat them, or if they can be reheated without major loss of appeal. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks.

    basic marinade question

    When marinading, do you poke holes in the meat prior to putting it in the marinade? The thought behind this is that it would allow the marinade into the meat for better flavor. Then again, I'm new to all this , so what do I know?

    Maverick ET-7 Problem

    I've heard both quite frequently--you either swear by 'em or swear at 'em. Doesn't seem to be any middle ground. I visit one forum where the resident genius keeps bragging about how great Oregon Scientific is compared to Maverick. Anybody have any experience with that brand? Unfortunately...

    FINISHING SAUCE (for Pulled Pork)

    SoFlaQuer--Thanks for posting this. I'm a newbie at this smoking stuff. I'm not really not a big fan of pulled pork, but the rest of the family likes it. I've always considered it just a way to hold the BBQ sauce on the bun ... I tried this on our pulled butt tonight, and I'm amazed! This...
