    What are you smoking this Thanksgiving

    Hey Chisoxjim... I am smoking two birds and cooking one in the oven.(big family) I was curious if you would mind sharing your buttermilk brine recipe? I have never smoked a turkey, let alone done a brine. So i am looking for ideas. Thanks!!!

    Budget reverse flow smoker build.

    Hey Rod! My ancestors are from Glasgow Scotland! You asked, and here you go. Here are a few pictures of how i get my abt shelf to sit inside my smoker for easy removal. Also, here are a few pics of my water pan and drain system. Once a Scot.. always a Scot! This is a bottom view of the abt...

    Budget reverse flow smoker build.

    Got it all painted, and its curing right now. Boy howdy.... i'll tell you what!! If there was one thing i would do differently on this build, it would be to get it professionally painted. But that would defeat the purpose of the "budget build" I will smoke meat on it for the first time this...

    Budget reverse flow smoker build.

    You bet you can put your order in!!! But be forewarned.. Its a heavy sob! Took two guys to grunt it onto its side to get it into my truck. And yes... i will be painting it boring black. The blue and orange paints didnt match BSU colors close enough.

    Smoking in the winter

    Ok... so i am new to smoking this year. Been bbq'ing for a long time.. and thats easy to bring the temp up in. Just turn the knob. But IS it the cold that is the reason i struggle to hit 225? when it was 95 out, i could hit 300 no problem!! So today, it was windy and cold, and i could barely hit...

    What temp to cook a fattie to?

    Ive never taken temp on any of my fatty's. I just smoke it at 225-250 for at least 3 but no more than 4 hours and pull em off. I usually do them by sight. I wait for the bacon to become nice and dark brown and crispy. But thats just my taste. Good luck! I LOVE a good fatty!!

    Budget reverse flow smoker build.

    Ok. So after last nights wonderful Tri Tip smoke.. I was super anxious to get this thing up and running. Spent this afternoon getting most of the outside work done.

    Brinkmann pitmaster propane mod pics

    Well, after last nights smoke, i'm gonna ditch the burner for now. You would need to install a plate or something above it.. It gets buried in ashes as you smoke. It also takes up valuable space underneath the wood grate for much needed air flow. If i put in a plate, i would have to raise the...

    Unbelievable Tri Tip!! W/ qview

    After much consideration, i went with my standard rub, but added a 12 hour marinade with a light coating of pickapeppa sauce. Now I have smoked lots of pieces of meat, but i have to say.... hands down... this is the best piece of meat i have EVER smoked!!!!!! It was ridiculously full of flavor...

    any suggestions for a tri tip recipe?

    I will have to look for that! Its on the smoker now... along with a few abt. I opted for a pepper, salt, paprika, garlic, onion rub. Pretty standard rub but tasty none the less. Anyone have an opinion as to what temp i should pull them at??
