    Smoke Box

    Buy yourself an inexpensive cast iron skillet. take it tou your local machine chop and have them cut the handle off. It should work for you. If you have access to someone who cuts wood, you can have them cut wood "biscuits" for you. they a similar to hockey pucks, but larger. Those work out...

    GOSM Model Confusion - Help!

    If you can afford it, get the biggest model they have. You'll thank yourself in the future. I've found that a regular old dolly really helps to move my GOSM around.

    Looking for a good rib rub

    I cant speak of Jeff's rub, because I've never tried it. If you're looking for something out of a bottle, I have been very happy with Bone Sucking Rub. It's really good stuff.

    Overnight smoke - Boston Butt & Brisket

    Heavy duty aluminum foil. Some people wrap them it towels after wrapping them in foil, i don't. I also line the bottom of my cooler with newspaper in case there are any leaks.

    Headed to Austin

    I bought a couple bottles of rub there the last time i went to Austin. I dont use on anything but ABTs. It's like my little secret....well not anymore. it's just something about that particular rub and bacon. Is the one in RR gonna be BYOB also?

    Famous Daves BBQ Texas Pit

    I like it also. I put it on brisket. As for a recipe, don't have one. the Famous Daves is only about five minutes away from me.

    Overnight smoke - Boston Butt & Brisket

    This is going to sound like I'm being a smart a#$, but I'm not. Put them on early enough so you can serve them when you want. As I think we've all done, we've tried to have our Q out by a certain time and it never works out that way. That's just the nature of the beast....or the nature of the...

    Headed to Austin

    The Salt Lick is a ways out of town, but definitely worth it! You might wanna try the Stubbs Sunday Brunch.

    New and need advice on smoker choice

    I agree the GOSm is a great smoker for lazy Q. i have one and use it too smoke pork shoulders exclusively. You might want to look into the Camp Chef Smoke Vault also. I also have the 24 inch wide model of this smoker and I use it to cook ribs. the CC is a heavier gauge metal than the GOSM...

    Which to buy, Masterbuilt Electric or Bradley Digital Electric 4 Rack?

    I have a friend who has three different kinds of smokers: wood, gas and electric (an MES). He syays he would trade both the gas and wood for another two masterbuilts. He likes it that much.

    Yuck

    After using my GOSM for three years i decided to clean it out. I removed the burner and took it to the local do it yourself car wash. I pressure washed it to remove all the loose gunk that it had accumulated. I put the burner back on it and ran it for 30 minues on high to dry it out. It...

    Char-Griller offset smoker

    I have one of these and i will give you my honest opinion of it: The CG is a good value for a starter offset smoker. You do need a couple of mods to perform before you get it dialed in. For starters, you need to extend the exhaust stack to the cooking grate level. This is done easily with...

    Anyone ever use "magic dust" from P,L & BBQ?

    Has anyone ever used Mike Mills' recipe for his magic dust rub. I'm gonna do six racks of baby backs tommorrow. I'm of the thinking that if it's not broke, don't fix it. Hence I've been using the same rub since I started this hobby. But, if the trusty members here recommend it, I'll try it...

    Pork Butt Question

    Actually, I've seen (and used) all three. Foil pans under the butts catch drippings, which makes cleanup a breeze. You can also fill them with water for added moisture. I've seen butts smoked in foil pans also. For me, though, i think it would inhibit the formation of a ggod bark since it is...
