just some closure on this - I think it to be a Box Elder tree - and it's near dead neighbor a Hackberry -
I guess just good for firewood!
I'll have to venture further into the woods but the ticks are really heavy so maybe I can wait!!!
Hi all - I was wanting your expertise in identifying this tree - it is at the edge of my backyard and has been dead for several years. It does show some new sprouts coming straight out of the larger trunks - so maybe not really dead - or some sucker has attached.
I live near KCMO - I have white...
Welcome from a "former Omahan"! I've been a new smoker since the beginning of the year - I certainly get more confidence with every smoke and learn something new here every week!
Thanks for the modified method - I will be sure to try it that way next time!! I'll be curious about what temps I'll be able to get it up to that way - but I'll never know until I try!!
KC - I found your coal placement intriguing - How long do you get between coal fills that way? I usually get about 1.25 hrs between chimney fills with the CGSP w SFB.
my personal favorite is the Wabash in Excelsior Springs (about 20 minutes NE of Harrahs), north east of Liberty - it's near the old Elms hotel, in the old train station. Brisket is great as are the ribs!
crazy how different they are - I started my 7.5 lber at 0745 and moved to oven foiled at 160 and it is at about 192 right now (6:00 pm) - should be out of there in an hour or so then to the cooler to settle down some!
Dont think I'll have it until tomorrow though -
Caution on the Chargrillers - not sure if you are using the stock temp guage on the smoker but if you are - it will run in the neighborhood of 60 degrees low - When my CGP w SFB reads 175 on the stock guage - I'm at about 240 in the chamber. Make sure you are using seperate thermos to measure...
raise the charcoal grate up in the SFB, preferably with a charcoal basket - also - when putting together - knock out the hole for the SFB before you assemble the smoker - for some reason - they dont refernce the SFB in the instructions for the large smoker and its a little harder to knock out...
concur with most here - cap down and I spray once per hour or so until foiled. I have a 7 lber ready to go tomorrow on my Chargriller as well!
You've probably read already but you'll hit the plateau (mine are usually around 140-150 degrees +/-) - just wait it out - it'll rise!
you slicing...
Even though this event has passed.........
The chemical like smell was likely the paint - since you were using the stock guage, your fire was likely 60-80 degrees off or more. I found the use of basket on a raised coal grate very helpful - almost to the extreme. I had troubles last weekend...
