    smoker suggestions?

    Try your local Craigslist first for a bargain. Check under "general", type in smoker and then hit search. Ya just never know what you'll find there. One of my relatives got a super deal on a stickburner from CL. Best of luck in your search.

    Primer from old paint on my build?

    You might give 36 or 24 grit a shot. If that doesn't do it, break out the rose bud.

    Taking too long?

    Do you have a link for the "new food code"? It's not on the USDA site yet according to this http://origin-www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact...Food/index.asp The "Danger Zone" (40 °F-140 °F) Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 ° and 140 °F, doubling in number in as little...

    Babybacks in oven.....I forgot my wood.

    You could check your oven with your probe thermo to see how accurate the setting is on your o**en. If it's pretty close it could also be the quality of the ribs. Just a shot in the dark.

    Meat injector

    This is a nice unit and won't put you in the poor house. Print out the link and leave it where "Babe" will see it. It just might end up in your stocking http://www.thekitchenstore.com/goststmain.html

    Electric ECB in the cold?

    The electric Brinkmann has its limitations in the cold, but it can be done. Just my thoughts; yours may vary. Good luck!

    Looking for an alternative to using Photo Bucket

    It appears that Photobucket has and still is under a revamp. Why? Who knows, but I understand the frustration. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    BBQ Pitmasters Show

    I don't recall seeing anything about a contest. This thread started out about a bbq show and now it's evolved into this. Just a couple of questions for ya and then I'll leave this thing alone. Are you the one who decides "who fits in"? I don't see a minor difference of opinion as a "conflict"...

    BBQ Pitmasters Show

    It's up. Now what? No ones' stirring the pot. Everyone on this forum or any other forum is allowed to voice their opinion, contrary to what you say.

    BBQ Pitmasters Show

    Here's a bit of my "supposed" stuff. I'm sure my stuff isn't near as good as yours, but the folks I fed raved about it, and to be honest, that's all that matters to me. If you'd like me to post more, just let me know.

    BBQ Pitmasters Show

    I don't think it's a stupid conversation at all. It is what it is, the Internet. I was going to ask you the same question and your winnings in competitions don't count. My guess is 90% of the folks(might be more) on various forums don't compete. I'm not in it for the profit as I already have a...

    BBQ Pitmasters Show

    Having a "profitable" bbq joint, doesn't mean it's quality Q, as the "average" Q consumer wouldn't know quality Q if they were hit in the head with it. Competition Q caters to a very small group of folks (judges) and since there are a few factors that can affect ones taste buds, who's to say...

    BBQ Pitmasters Show

    If the show was nice friendly folks it wouldn't have much viewership or any advertisers. The real "competition" is smokin' for your friends & family and watching them pack up all the left overs to take home.

    Smoked chicken never got to 180 temp.

    I know a few folks, myself included who would be more than willing to take that Bandera off of your hands. 165 degrees in the breast is plenty for a yardbird. By chance have you checked your therm for accuracy?

    This is the headstone of Russell J. Larson who is buried at the Logan City Cemetary in Logan, Utah. Wonder if he knows he's the winner of the "Coolest Headstone Contest"?

    Here's a link for the manual for that smoker. The manual clearly shows a top vent. http://www.masterbuilt.com/pdf/manua...2020070106.pdf Also, in the 2nd pic that you posted, you can see an outline of where it should go.
