    Charcoal basket ?

    Made my own basket, similar to Lemans.  I now use the expensive, 75# stainless steel basket I had previously used sitting as an extra seat or table on the patio.  Hate to let it go, but only use the expanded metal basket now. . . . . .    Either way, good luck!!!

    HELLO new to smoking JUST got Oklahoma JOE serial NBS6429 can anyone tell me year/info??.

    Welcome DandDdad! To be truthful, I have never owned one, but It looks like the one my former neighbor had, and his had a serial number tag on it as well.  Dunno for certain, but he told me the Chinese ones didn't have a serial number plate on it. His was pretty rugged, and took a lot of...

    Newb to smokers. narrowed it to 2, but still open to ideas, opinions welcome

    Welcome SmokerNewb! Ever considered making your own UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker)?  Inexpensive to build, simple tools required, and you can cook a ton of food on multiple layers or a single meal of a few chicken pieces. My brother in law made one for about $80 and LOVES it.  My smoker cost tons...

    need pellets

    Check your local feed store, tractor supply store or farm co-op.  Some of those have a pretty decent selection.  I found a good selection, a little higher than I planned but usable. Good luck!

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    Franklin's is a lot of hype, and granted they turn out good BBQ. People begin lining up at 7:30 AM like they are waiting on a parade to come by. If I remember correctly it is only open from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. BUT, they are really catering to the hysteria that develops from desperation for...

    Pulled Pork Leftovers

    How about making breakfast roll stuffed with pulled pork, cheese and jalapenos?  You can stuff store bought dinner roll dough with the mixture, let rise and then into the oven at about 350 - 375º F. How about adding to soup? Maybe over pasta with a little BBQ sauce.  BBQ'd "sghetti" is great...

    What Do You Use to Stuff Your ABTs?

    I use an apple corer to remove the seeds and ribs, and I basically use the (gloved) left hand holding the pepper with the point downward.  Then I use the right hand to press small amounts of the stuffing mixture into the ABTs until they are full as I prefer. I try to keep the mixture as cold as...

    smoked salmon and cream cheese???

    I like it in mushrooms, and I've tried it in the ABTs in the past.  Ended up using more flaked salmon than cream cheese, or any kind of binder. Too much cream cheese ended up oozing out and going everywhere.  They were ugly, but I enjoyed them for days. Overall, I just might have to try them...
