    Prices of gas smokers

    I can get 4 or five good smokes out of a 20 pound tank. I'va also found that they are cheaper to fill if you go to a propane place instead of exchanging them at Lowes, or Home Depot.

    jeff's rub and sauce recipes

    Or you can call me. I live about 30 minutes away from Las Cruces, New Mexico. The university there has a whole research program on different types of chiles. There's some shops in Mesilla that have ground chiles that I've never even heard of!!

    Need some advice

    I can't give you any advice as I dont own this type of smoker, but I do know a butt is very forgiving. Rub it, and smoke it,rest it and pull it. Some say it's better than brisket.

    Another question about the offset

    I agree with Pig. Offsets that don't have tuning plates almost always have a hot spot right next to the SFB. You can use a water pan as a baffle if need be, or make some tuning plates if you're so inclined. Some offsets vary quite a bit from one end to the other also.

    instead of a container for brining....

    You can go to your local restaurant supply store and get a plastic non-pourous 5 gallon bucket for about 12 dollars. (at least thats how much mine was). They are made of lexan plastic (non-pourous) and food grade which does not allow bacteria to get into all the microscopic nooks and crannys...

    Fathers Day Brisket

    Pickle slices, onion, mustard and 'Q sauce. Thats about all a good brisket needs. You might want to keep a few slices of cheddar cheese nearby. My local joint serves up individual slces of cheese, and it complements their brisket very well. Not to put on the sandwich itself, just to have it...

    Brisket and stuff today!

    That looks good. On the vegetarian thingy....what about putting some rub and smoking slices of tofu? Do you think that would work?

    Deep Fried Spare Ribs?!

    I saw Bonny Flay show in Texas where this older guy at a dude ranch or something like it deep fried ribeye or sirloin steaks in a huge cauldron of oil. They even had a special name for them but I can't remember what it was. Here in West Texas we have carnitas whick are basically cut up pieces...

    My first smoking attempt

    Welcome to the SMF GJW. Glad to hear your first smoke came out pretty good. The only bad thing is, now you're hooked. Gotta try ribd, butts, and brisket. Lots of good folks around here with good sound advice. Post over on the roll call thread for new members and introduce yourself.

    First smoke

    ROn, are those BBs or St. Louis spares? They look good. I bought the same smoker thanks to Debi. She had alot of good things to say about it. So, did the ribs get that good smokey flavor?

    Babybacks in progress

    I had that same problem last weekend. It was so hot here that the temps were hard to keep low. I finally busted out the quick shade and kept the smoker underneath it. I also kept filling my water pan with cold water. You're right Debi. Just sitting in the sun, my chargriller will get up to...

    Chunks in MES opinions pleez

    I think if it is going to sit directly on the heating element, you should go with cast iron. I saw some 8 inch cast iron skillets at Academy Sports for like 4 dollars.
