Do You Smoke Naked????
I wouldn't have any neighbors left.... I have a stick burner and I guess I am more concerned about the moisture than amount of smoke??? -

Do You Smoke Naked????
For most of us I hope not! I am talking about covering brisket vs. smoking "naked" on the pit. I usually cover @ around 160* and cook to 190-200* depending on pulled or sliced. but I know many Pros that cook w/ no foil completely exposed the entire time. My fear would be a very smokey piece of... -
Snowing HARD in New Hampshah!
Your lucky Monstah, that is what I miss about Minnesota SNOW! I live in Columbus, OH now and allthough it is a wonderful place to live the winters here suck. No snow, just rain usually.

Pork and Beef in the same smoker????
I need some help here guys.... I am fully aware of the potential for cross contamination in different meats. I know not to let pork drip on beef and vice versa. My question is: Is it ok to have pork and beef in the same smoke chamber as long as they are not over one another or touching? They... -

Sadness...
Yes Hawg I second what Dutch said. We do not always understand why God allows things to happen, but he does have a reason. Draw close to him in these times and you and your family will be strengthened! I will also keep you in my prayers. Will- xtexan

Charcoal Vs Wood ??????
Thanks!! Actually the pit has a side fire box much like a horizontal offset but w/ top baffle.Not sure if that is what you meant?? Yes I do plan on catering, concession and maybe a competition or two..... I have to say it is a little intimidating w/ this big thing but it just takes time/...- xtexan

Charcoal Vs Wood ??????
Also, I did notice that there is moisture in the wood as it bubbles at the end of the logs when it is burned. So do you think my problem is simply unseasoned wood? What is the best way to tell if wood is properly seasoned (when you buy it, not after the fact)?- xtexan

Charcoal Vs Wood ??????
Hey bbq bubba, I agree that it is a wood burner, its just that everything I see on here says pre-burn, pre-burn..... I would like nothing more than to throw some sticks in there and be done w/ it. I am just having trouble keeping thin blue smoke. Should I split my wood more or simply get a...- xtexan

Charcoal Vs Wood ??????
Now that I have my new smoker I am trying to figure out the most efficient heat source. For those of you who have not seen pics yet, it is an 8ft smoker w/ a top baffel system, which really is irelevant to my question. I know that there are several factors that contribute to the cost of fuel...- xtexan

Check out my new smoker!
It is heavy but not too bad. Tows great. The top baffle system is unbelievable, absolutely no hot/cold spots. The oven has a seperate "control" for the heat, but when evrything is open it is the exact temp in both oven and smoker. I can build a fire w/ 5 splits and it will maintain heat in the...- xtexan

Check out my new smoker!
Yes the smoker came in and it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cooked some ribs in it last week and they were pretty good for the 1st run. This thing holds heat like you wouldn't believe because of the 1/2" steel. I had an issue w/ the sink but the builder is sending me a triple sink for catering...- xtexan

New smoker question, ......
Sounds like lump is easier and less time consuming which is what I will be looking for doing catering and concession. So you just use small chunks of wood on your lump, do you preburn your chunks? What do you think is most cost effective and best management of time? Also, do I want to preburn...- xtexan
