    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    You can lollipop wings too, just a little trickier and not as much meat for the effort I wouldn't think.

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    Here ya go Wes. Fast and simple Lollipop. I will give them a light dusting of rub before putting them on the grate then a glaze just before pulling them off. Quick, simple, and folks love them because they are something different.

    SmokinWelders First Smoker Ever!!!! 250 gallon/trailer build

    To keep the door gap as tight, straight, and neat as possible I would use a 12 or 14" cutoff saw. Believe it or not a masonry wheel will last longer cutting steel than a steel wheel will. Cut the top first, weld on the hinges, then cut the other 3 sides. At least thats the plan when I cut my...

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    They are real easy to do. Cut through everything but the bone just below the joint and push the meat and skin as far down as you can. You can trim off any fat or uglies if you like. I marinate them in Italian or Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing for about 4 hours, give them a light coat of rub and...

    What're YOU smokin this weekend? How? Why? Method?

    I just checked our forecast and it has been updated. Rain Friday, maybe rain Saturday. I know ya'll get it heaver up in Stockton but if I had a new smoker arrive I would be begging the neighbor for an ez-up and offer to buy some sides for it. I am like the postman: Neither rain nor sleet nor...

    My Maiden Smoke- I got pics & questions

    I haven't done a whole chicken..yet...and just this past Christmas did my first turkey. My normal chicken cook is thighs and lollipops. That being said I have never brined, including the turkey, and the birds have always came out moist. And I don't use a water pan. I'm a stick burner and your a...

    Smoking for my girlfriends birthday party, about 20 people. 2 8lb bone in butts going on the smoker at 4am Saturday as well as some BBQ beans on the stove. (Gotta get a Dutch Oven, the wife would kill me if I put one her pans on the smoker) Butts trimmed injected with a 50/50 of apple...

    Double Rack Attack!

    Lot of Stubbs products out there, including charcoal. I use the original sauce from time to time, but it is no where as good as sitting down at his table and getting it fresh out of the pot. Ol' Stubb sure knew his Q.

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    Make the basic and put in a container. Make the vinegar and put in a container. Come time to use it take the prescribed amount of the basic and vinegar, add ingredients from the glaze list, mix heat and brush onto the meat.. As advised by others here I would cut the final honey out at least, if...

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    The 6 that we pulled and scraped the fat off the skin were perfect bite through. The remaining could of used a higher temp for better skin, wasn't bad, just not perfect. Scraping the skin was a PITA until we found the right cutting board and knife combo. Then it took like 2 minutes a skin.

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    I think passion is an understatement, it is becoming an obsession. I don't count sheep to go to sleep, I count rib bones LOL.

    SmokinWelders First Smoker Ever!!!! 250 gallon/trailer build

    It has been years since I calculated weight & balance and center of gravity for airplanes so I would have to go back and find some notes.  If you have access to a couple of scales you could figure it out though. Look here for a basic explaination: http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-Center-of-Gravity

    SmokinWelders First Smoker Ever!!!! 250 gallon/trailer build

    If your putting it where I think you are, that would leave the angle iron frame bearing all the weight in one spot, rather than the main frame carrying it and spreading the weight out. I would put it right behind your wagon. Also, I would mock everything up with tack welds, set the tank and fire...

    New Member From Southern California.

    Hodwy neighbor, Inland Empire here, out by Lake Perris. You found the best place on the web to learn. In my opinion the Chargriller is a great entry level smoker for the newbie. It's what I started on. Sure it takes more work than a more expensive, better built smoker, but it lets you find out...

    Can't get any better of an explanation than that. Thanks JJ.Knowing the science behind things is always helpful, and I am one that likes to know what makes things tick. Anytime I do a backyard, practice or custom smoke/catering run with Ribs, Pulled Pork, or Brisket I always throw on some...

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    Total prep time for all 3 components, probably about an hour if you are organized, including clean-up. The potato, yep it keeps the probe close to but off the grate.

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    Sure. For a backyard or maybe even a restaurant it would be a good glaze. For competition it won't work as it is. Here is the recipe as used, as well as some notes afterward. I was looking for a sweet and tangy, with a little heat on the end. Chicken Glaze Basic Sauce 2 tablespoons onion...
