    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    The glaze is not so much for a sauce, but to put the right mahogany color on the top of the meat. Personally, I don't like saucing, but it is almost a must for winning competition. The recipe called for dark brown sugar, glad I was out and sub'd light brown instead. The thighs got a little rub...

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    Yep, thats what it was Bruno. Trying a new glaze, I like the flavor better than my normal one but got to get the color under control.

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    My glaze darkened too much. I should of either pulled and glazed, or started with a lighter color glaze to begin with. It continued to darken even after pulling and by the time we were done eating the leftover pieces had turned almost black. did not affect the taste though. I am wondering if it...

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

    Some have c/g water access, some don't. Depends on the event location. You should have room under the frame for the minimum required tanks. Weather required or not, it would be nice to have hot h2o on your cook site be it at a back yard or at a comp. Even in your back yard, do you really want to...

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    It...burp (sorry) ....was. I am not to big on eating chicken but to say it knocked my socks off is an understatement. I had to go pick them up from the neighbors yard.

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

    Before you get discouraged, check with your local health inspector, visit a contest in the area you want to cook and find the organizer and pick his brain. Rules vary stat to state, county to county, and even city to city. California is probably on of the tightest regulated states in the...

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    Put together a new glaze and decided to do a test run today. Took 12 thighs, 6 just trimmed, 6 pull the skin, scrape the fat and re-skin. Not a lot of difference in the outcome. Also tried Lollipops for the first time. Everything came out great, nice sweet in the front door with a little kick on...

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

    Depends on the event and your local health dept. rules. AFAIK out here the teams are covered under a blanket permit pulled by the organizer. However if you want to compete in the peoples choice award you have to have the proper health dept. approved rig. Out here in my county that means fresh...

    UDS and wood?

    I love my wood. I started and learn't myself on a cheap SFB burning only wood. I am currently in the design phase for a small trailer mounted SFB type for comps. Triple sink+hand wash station, fresh and grey water tanks, hot water heater, hopefully everything to make it Ca. Health dept approved...

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

    I would not use angle for the frame. C-channel or box. may be more expensive but you will live to regret it with the angle I think. I assume you are going to be towing it down the road occasionally? If so, check with your DMV to see what their requirements are to be considered road worthy, and...
