    Well, It's About Time!!

    Congrats, Rob. You could've bragged about it 'over there' where I usually reside. And I still have grate envy. Even if I never use my Brinkmann any more.

    What size is your favorite butt?

    CSJ, I'd like to express my appreciation for your tone and approach in this comment. Personally, I'm happy I got to see the pic, but your sentiment is noted. And your delivery was wonderful. I saw a preachy, holier-than-thou grouse over a similar subject (without visual aids, to boot!) after a...

    Pork Shoulder report

    Looks good, DR. What desert do you rat in? We have a large Pro Q contingent out here in Phx. Just went to your blogsite for 10 sec...Guess you're in AZ somewhere, eh?

    Occ

    Jr. seems to be doing OK. And OCC built a smoker for a Jets tailgater. I didn't stay up to see the final unit. But somehow, I doubt that Dave Klose or Lang pits have anything to worry about. They just rolled a 5'X3' tube of steel before I turned it off. It would have been 5X9.6', and weighed "a...

    havabarbque in Arizona

    Slap Yo Daddy, that is...Harry Soo is a fantastic cook. His pot luck entries are amazing! And recently, he held a Barbecue 101 class, and after the class, one of his students revealed himself to be Dave Anderson--Famous Dave his own self.

    havabarbque in Arizona

    Justin, I'm assuming at this point, you have most of the Havasu questions answered? azkitch bbally--That's great to hear. I wish I could make it out there to CBJ it. It sounds like it's going to be a good one! Don't forget about the ones in the Phoenix area in the fall!

    Need a laugh? This might be the funniest thing ever.

    I hate reading stuff that funny this late at night. I injure myself trying not to laugh loudly. "I'm having a Makers Mark, you want one? What? 7up? I ain't mixing f***ing makers with 7up. Might as well put a lil' f***ing umbrella in it" YEAH! RIGHT ON! Dave K, Makers Mark Ambassador!

    New Braunfels smoker fire box grill

    May be a bit pricier, but there are at least 2 aftermarket companies making grates out there. And HD has some really nice lookin' cast grates that might fit. In fact, I'd check there, Lowe's, True Value and Ace first. aha! go here http://www.newbraunfelssmokerco.com/...&CategoryID=27 I'm sure...

    mesquite in a UDS?

    I also think it's too strong a wood. Pecan and apple are my faves. Addendum: I've seen many posts in more than 4 or 5 forums that mesquite is one of the strongest woods when used as a "flavor" wood, and extremely easy to "oversmoke" with. I remember an article--although I don't remember from...

    Cold-weather newbie from MN

    Naw, man. Livin' in Phoenix makes the winter seem shorter. 3 days when it's under 50, and in the 30s when I get up. That's all I can take, too! I've got tons of relatives in and around the TC, most of whom I haven't met. My sis went to Carleton, married a Bloomington boy, I was roomies with a...

    9lb Bone-In Prime Rib Qview

    But you still have it! Don't you? I found a blog where a guy tried different methods to get the "perfect" rib roast. Sear first cooked meat to deeply. No sear gave boring exterior. Slow cook followed by rest followed by 8-9 minutes in a 500* oven had minimal cookage from the outside, but a nice...

    Need Reassurance on time

    The wide range of answers on this thread confuses me...If cooking brisket at 225-240, 1,5 hrs/lb will get you to 195 ish. Cooking a rib roast, won't it get you to the same approximate temperature? Shouldn't then the time per hour be less, since the finished temp is considerably less? We aren't...

    My wife rocks

    Yup. My first 2 BBQ books too. LOVE Smoke n Spice. I have to get my own copy of "the spice bible". Pretty neat stuff. I have about 5 Q books out from the library, with a potenial 99 renews on 'em. That's about 3.7 years...

    water or not add flavor or not ?????

    Sand just acts as a large heat sink. Heat capacitor. Heat reserve bank. Slower to heat up, but equally slow to cool off, thereby steadying the temps. Many folks fill the water pan with sand, firebrick, river rock (Careful-can blow up...) and then cover in foil to avoid messy.

    Which Smoker should I get for my husband for xmas?

    Mine. It's a thousand dollars. I'll include a box of matches. OK. Now that you are all rolling in the aisles...I haven't read the thread, but I'll bet you heard a lot of WSM. If he's gonna be cooking for the fam. ya can't do much better. Ask all the competition winners. Like Harry Soo on...
