    Can't Get Temps Up High Enough w/Basket

    Yeah, something is wrong with my mods because it takes me much longer to get the temps up. Ok just so I'm straight here, a charcoal basket will burn more RO than if I just leave it spread out on the firebox grate? So the basket is used it increase temps even though you'll burn more fuel? I...

    Can't Get Temps Up High Enough w/Basket

    Right, the firebox isn't sealed off, just the gaps in the picture have been eliminated, and the heat is diverted across the bottom. I think I'm going to drill a few more holes in my tuning plates. Like I've mentioned before, I had no problems with getting it up to temp without a basket, but it...

    North Florida Gathering??????

    I'd really like to be able to head that way, but I have to attend the Bucs game on Oct 19th. Friends of mine are really close friends of Mike Alstott's, and Mike gave them/us great tickets to the game. Mike is suppose to be honored at halftime and there's talk about retiring his number, plus...

    Can't Get Temps Up High Enough w/Basket

    Thanks for the reply guys, I'll try the side by side method and see how that works. Without the basket I get great even temps on both sides, but like I said before, I use a lot of RO and it takes forever to heat up. Here's a pic of the baffle BEFORE I added the curved side panels, the side...

    what started the addiction for you

    A few friends of mine have been smoking for many many years, and I always loved their food. Being that I was in the restaurant business back then I really had no interest learning to cook a new way because my friends were doing just fine, and it was nice to be able to relax while someoen else...

    good morning from windy FL

    Welcome nudib, glad to see another Floridian here. Little storm to the south? I was coming over the Skyway this morning and the skies were about as nasty as they could look, can't imagine what it's like down there. Really gives you an good perspective on how big Ike is when we have large...

    Can't Get Temps Up High Enough w/Basket

    I have a Brinkmann SnP with mods, I bought one of those Char Broil shaker baskets that others have used on this site with success. I put one chimney of un-lit RO in the basket with two chimney's of lit on top. Even with the firebox vent wide open and the stack vent wide open (always) I...

    Smokey restuarant owners; any advice to another hopeful restuarant owner.

    When my uncle had his restaurant, he tried to keep it a family affair, because we were the one's he could truely trust. It's better to be able to have a husband and wife or brother and brother (etc etc) team. This way when one of you have to leave, you can go without worrying (to much)...

    I'm Back from

    I know that some of the ribs that go to the judges aren't from the same batch as the one's they sell to the public. A friend of mine has judged at a couple of the Rib Fest's we have here in St. Pete every year, and he said the same thing. The one's he judged were fantasic, then when he bought...

    Question for offset sfb w/ charcoal basket mod

    That's basically what I did, I also used cheap cookie sheet pans from the discount store and cut them to make a baffle. I have the same set up as Capt Dan, with a angled baffle and "tuning" plates. I used a charcoal basket for the first time last week, ( a shaker basket from Lowe's) and I...

    BBQ Glove Cleaning Question

    I had the same problem with mine, mold grew on the inside. I did what Capt Dan said and soaked them in bleach water for a couple hours, then rinsed them well. I used a hair dryer set on low heat to dry them out on the inside, only took a few minutes and they were dry.
