    Mice in my smoker.

    I don't really know much about your smoker but I would try getting up to temp then hitting the cooking chamber with a fine spray of water to steam it. That's what I do after every cook to keep mine clean. I don't know that it will be effective in this instance but essentially it steam cleans...

    Pastrami from corned beef - pic added

    Congrats. The last two times I bought packer briskets I've made pastrami and corned beef. For the pastrami I followed the recipe over on amazingribs.com. It's simple and SO good. Glad to hear this one turned out for you.

    Alabama BBQ?

    yeah that was one that come highly recommended. Someone else mentioned Dreamland. I may make a solo mission to Archibalds as my wife and daughter both looked at it online and said "we're not eating there" LOL

    Alabama BBQ?

    So we're taking a trip up to Alabama to look at U of Alabama and Auburn with our daughter. I'm primarily the chauffeur but I always try to check out local BBQ places when we travel (shout out to WarPigs in Copenhagen!!). Any suggestions for "don't miss" BBQ in Auburn or Tuscaloosa?

    Using wood in Oklahoma Joe firebox

    I would definitely say so. I always keep my exhaust wide open and only adjust intake.

    Using wood in Oklahoma Joe firebox

    some of the old timers may correct me here but for me I always make sure that the side with the firebox is slightly lower than the chamber opposite it. On both my old New Branfels and my new Lang that simple adjustment makes a lot of difference in getting good draw.

    Using wood in Oklahoma Joe firebox

    My Lang came with a grate and a basket but I ditched both and just keep my fire on the firebrick lining on the bottom of the fb. I like to keep fire and coals up toward the front so I can pre-heat wood near the door as I'm cooking.

    Can anyone identify my old-school Brinkmann offset Smoker? (Before and after photos included)

    I don't know what model it is but that's some nice work on the refurb! I tried to give my old smoker to a guy who worked for me but no interest. It lasted about 20 minutes out by the side of the road. I hope this one brings a lot of good times and great meals to you!

    Jerky three ways - Picture heavy.

    Looks great. I haven't made jerky in a couple years but your pics have me thinking.....hmmm..... Up early this morning to get a pork shoulder going for Sunday dinner.

    First time Pastrami

    This looks great. I've only made pastrami once but it's well worth the time. I'm going to have to give that cabbage a try.

    Lang vs. Yoder Loaded Wichita

    I bought a Lang 36 Hybrid Deluxe about 6 months ago. I picked it up used from a guy who bought a really nice smoker but seemed to want to ease of a pellet smoker, not a stick burner. I got a great deal on it and it was only used 3 or 4 times. :-) Before that I was using a box store stick...

    Butcher paper vs aluminum foil

    I use butcher paper. Otherwise the bark gets to wet for my taste. BTW I see you're using a Lang. I bought a 36 Hybrid Deluxe about 6 months ago....so nice to cook on.

    recommend a thermometer that will link to my phone

    I'll just echo PC Farmer. For me the Fireboard has been a great thermometer that does exactly what you're trying to do. It's super simple to connect and is accessible via their website or an app on your phone.

    Ref; Hit me with some thing new

    Homemade pastrami. I bought a whole brisket and separated the point from the flat. I like the point for burnt ends, etc. Decided to make some pastrami with the flat. I cured it and put pastrami spices on it then put it on the smoker until it was 150 degrees. After that I steamed it until...

    Looking for smoker recommendation

    I used a New Braunfels Hondo for a long time and cooked some really good BBQ on it. I recently bought a Lang 36 and now I'm wondering how I cooked on my my old Hondo not because the end result was bad, but the effort to get there was a lot more. My new cooker has heavy guage steel and tight...

    I need a new smoker

    As Al mentioned you can get a brand new Lang around $1250. I was ready to pull the trigger on that and happened to look on Craigslist and found slightly used Lang with more bells and whistles (the Hybrid Deluxe) for $1100. If you don't mind waiting there are some good deals every once in a...

    Lang 48 patio

    I believe it's there by design. What I understand is they put there in case water gets the bottom part of the smoker (under the reverse flow plate). The drain with valve drains anything on top of the reverse flow but if water gets under the plate while cleaning it doesn't have a way to drain...
