    Anyone ever pull pork at 195* ??

    Ok so I didnt get much sleep last night smoking for the BIG Game (go Bucks). I had to leave this morning for work and the butts were (in the oven) at 195*. I just called home and the temps had dropped to 192* (?). I had my Mother in Law turn the oven off and I will go home at lunch to pull them...

    Foil w/ pans or w/out??????

    Thanks, will do. I wouldnt think the foil would hold all of the juices since the pan is usually 1/3 full of juice.

    Help w/ intake, please.

    Honestly the propane part of this thing has been a dissapointment. It is basically a pipe w/ holes drilled in it that connects to a gas hook up. I am looking to replace the burners but have no idea where to start. I was thinking about using two grill inserts at the bottom of the unit and doing...

    Foil w/ pans or w/out??????

    I have always used pans when foiling my meat. Due to the issue w/ the propane, I will be finishing an order in the oven tonight (I know, cheating). But I cannot pull an all nighter w/ work tomorrow and the National Championship tomorrow night (Go Bucks!) So I need room in the oven for 2 butts...

    Oh yea, it is a new regulator, but it could be bad.

    Help w/ intake, please.

    That is what I was hoping for, but the unit uses a top baffle system and the burner is at the bottom of the smoker and the air just will not make it all the way to the bottom.

    Help w/ intake, please.

    I am having difficulty getting enough air in the main chamber when I foil and switch to gas, it continues to go out at low temps. I am thinking of having a door cut on the inside of the fire box that sits next to the chamber(see pics) and use this as my intake.The door would be installed on the...

    Thermostat in a custom smoker????

    This big smoker has proven to be a little extra work in the winter, keeping the temps steady and all. I already have a propane burner but need to do some work on it as there is not enough air intake in the main smoke chamber, I will have to have one cut in (intake). My question is: Has anyone...

    Speed Smoking Brisket And Pork??

    I am curious if anyone has any experience w/ "quick smoking" meat? Many very succesful BBQ joint use this method. I have heard that this entails smoking to approx. 160*, covering w/ juice in the pan and cranking the heat up to 300*-350* for the remainder of the time. From what I hear, the Q...

    More Pics Of The New Rig......

    Here are some more pics of the new smoker w/out meat. Just a little explanation on how it works: The smoker uses a top baffle system (pic 4 left side of smoke chamber,hard to see) The oven (pic 3) is regulated seperately by the "slide bar" (bottom of pic) and is not connected to the main smoke...

    Do You Smoke Naked????

    I used a pan the whole time w/ my last brisket and it turned out great, lots of juice. However I think I need to smoke on the racks in the new smoker the next couple of times so I can get a good meat smell in it. Right now it just smells like a fire pit.
