    Wet Wood and Gas Grass Burner Seals

    Wet Wood My small wood pile isn't covered. We've had near an inch of slow rainfall over the past couple of days. How do you cope with wet wood when you need to smoke? Gas Grass Burner Seals I bought a HF burner some months back but have only recently used it a couple of times. The rubber...

    Eye of Round

    Thanks, Al! I just rubbed it with SPOG. It's in the reefer until tomorrow when I plan to smoke it. I have a pan that holds about a quart of water. Trying to decide now if I am going to add a couple of spatched chickens and may a STL pork rib rack. Seems a shame to waste the heat and smoke.

    Eye of Round

    I bought a 3-lb eye of round this week. Is this cut amenable to smoking or would be better to roast it in the oven? Either way, I would appreciate help on prepping and cooking it. TIA Sorry! Forgot to mention that the roast is a select grade and that my smoker is an OC Brazos offset stick...

    needing advice

    If you buy your firewood, you will soon spend the extra $100. That difference in thickness means that the thinner metal will take more fuel and temps will fluctuate more. Now, if you cut and dry your own wood and don't mind fiddling with temp control a bit more, ... WHOOPS!!! Should have read...

    CL find- Awesome deal on my new Old Country Brazos

    A Brazos weighs about a quarter ton. I don't think there are any meth heads that can deal with that kind of weight. I've been wrong and don't shrink from admitting it, too.

    Old Country BBQ Pits Pecos Owners Thread

    Will you guys let an OC Brazos owner in this thread? I've enjoyed reading this thread (still working up from 2014). I think some of the info will translate to the Brazos well, but I think the 1/4" skin of the Brazos will make a real difference in heat control. I got this unit - my first stick...

    Progress Report

    @alesmoker Thanks for the encouragement. I would take a welding class if there were one available at a community college near me. I'm reaching for my 75th birthday; so there are some physical limitations that I didn't have when younger which would prevent me starting a new career. I DO enjoy...

    Old Country Brazos Maiden Run Questions

    Thanks, Dave and Joe! I shall follow your advice. I kinda like the idea of Simple Green and a hose out because there is quite an accumulation of oil from the manufacture process inside. I hadn't thought of treating the outside. WD-40 I have. The avatar is from an advertising picture. The...

    So here is the question

    I've done almost all my smoking for the last 4+ years on a Weber kettle of one sort or another. They all have dial thermometers in them and I use a Thermopop for checking IT. I don't even get the Mavericks, et al, out any more BUT . . . I've just got a stick burner, my first. It's an Old...

    Help me design a Drum Pizza Cooker

    Looks great! I want to try a pizza mod on one of my Webers but haven't found the roundtuit yet. I've read a lot about pizza ovens but never made or cooked on one; so take this for what its worth - damned little. The chimney in the front for the convection action Case described is one of the...

    Old Country Brazos Maiden Run Questions

    As I posted in another thread last week, I got this smoker for Christmas. It's an SFB made of 1/4" steel. It's cooking chamber is 30" long by 19" in diameter. The firebox is the same diameter and 20" long. It has a good tall stack made of 1/8" thick steel with a damper/cap. The main cooking...

    Awesome job!!! I wish I had learned to weld, but I'm too old now to take on a job as big as a smoker build. Is that 1/2" steel?

    Are we over engineering this simple form of cooking?

    Because this started out with reference to Aaron Franklin, I'm gonna tell you what I've observed in his vids and what I've read in his book. 1) He started young in a Texas BBQ restaurant and learned from masters. 2) He left the business but came back to it as a calling because his friends...

    Smoking My First Pork Butt

    I'll let others more expert than I am correct what I am about to say and take no umbrage from their input. From what I understand, the 205°F IT target is the optimum for moisture content and tenderness. It's what I try to achieve on each butt I've done, but things don't always turn out as...
