    Taking the Plunge

    As Richtee said, the fatty makes a terrific snack. I usually start the fatties at the same time as my main meat and start slicing them up when they hit 160. They never last until the ribs are done. I also recommend that you do at least 2 fatties. I always throw on at least 3.

    James from Phoenix

    Welcome James. My suggestion to you is to watch Craigslist for the smokers that show up. I picked up an Oklahoma Joe's Vertical roaster with a propane burner in it from a guy in Scottsdale for $75 and an Oklahoma Joe's horizontal offset unit in Gilbert for $80. If your budget allows, Sportsman's...

    Angry BBQ

    What is that? The only white stuff I see when I go home are the wife and kids.

    Ropeing A Deer

    This is one of the funniest things I've ever gotten in my mail. When I read it at work, I was laughing quite loudly in a very quiet room. For the full version of it, go here: http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/Gun...c_ev=emailopen

    Landmann Smokers?

    There's just a hole between the firebox and the main chamber. You could, however, raise the charcoal pan up to the level where it is above the hole and use it for a baffle. It looks like a nice heavy unit and should hold the heat well. Let me know if you have any more questions, I can go check...

    Another "Look how dumb I am" thread.

    If you are "ham-fisted" would it be appropriate to use some finishing sauce or would it be best to skip straight to the mustard sauce?

    Landmann Smokers?

    I saw one at the Sportsman's Warehouse near me today for $350. It looks like a nice grill. For the most part, it is pretty heavy guage material. The crank-lifted charcoal rack would be nice for grilling and the firebox is a nice size. I would have been really interested, if I wasn't there...

    Another "Look how dumb I am" thread.

    I dunno about the cider. Jeff's rub works well on everything else, why not try it here? Rub it, wrap it in saran wrap and refrigerate it overnite.

    Help wanted with a New Braufels

    I wouldn't bother pursuing this one. I picked up my Oklahoma Joe's that looks identical to that, with the exception of a burner in the firebox for $80.00 and an Oklahoma Joe's Vertical Roaster with a burner for $75.00 off Craigslist here in Az. You should be able to get a much better price than...

    Famous Dave's BBQ

    I've eaten at the Famous Dave's in Chandler and by the University of Phoenix Stadium and they were ok. The FD in Tucson was quite a disappointment. I'd much rather go to Rudy's in Albuquerque. Rudy's has always been great.

    STarting smokers with Propane Weed Killer?

    I'm from Mesa, Az. I understand cold (just a little bit), but what is this "snow"?

    I fought the brisket and the brisket won

    Pick up the lunch tray sized cut. It should be about 10-14 pounds. The one I tried, for my first brisket, was 11 pounds at $1.69/lb. It was only $18 or so. I used Jeff's rub and the Okie Smokie recipe and it camer out as good as or better than any brisket I've ever had. I seared it over charcoal...

    Electro-Pneumatic "Pee" Shooter

    For your solenoid, you can use a sprinkler valve. You can use it with the electric solenoid or modify it to use with an air trigger. How about a series of valves to meter your 'charge' of spritzing liquid and air and then a valve to fire and atomize it. An alternative might be to use some...

    What type of ad-hoc temp control to add to my ECB

    Why would you want to turn the temperature down on a Little Chief? Are you going to smoke ice cream? Just Kidding.

    Check This TANK Out

    Here in Az, it would end up as a drophouse for illegal aliens.

    Yesterday I couldn't spell KCBS

    I've been at Fab12 since 2000, with the exception of a year in Albuquerque (mmmmm..... Rudy's) for 300mm training.

    Yesterday I couldn't spell KCBS

    Lucky so and so. I've been stuck at Intel, in Chandler, and you've been doing this. Karma must be smacking me around for something.
