    Secrets to Great Barbecue

    Hey Buzzard, Sometimes that is not a bad thing "being alone I mean". I do some of my best thinking sitting alone and watching the thin blue smoke. As far as company goes..."smoke it and they will come"

    Smoked Beer Can Chicken

    DT, I think I'm allowed to cook on the patio, but my pasture is sooooooo dry that a tiny spark from my big smoker could start a fire real easy. It would probably burn down the whole place. You can't imagine how fast these fires have been spreading. Low humidity, high temps., hign winds...

    Smoked Beer Can Chicken

    DT, Point taken. I will be experimenting as soon as we get some rain here. We are still under burn ban and I'm having withdrawal pains. My smoker has been cold for over 2 weeks. Yuk Burk

    Buzzard, Sounds like a good plan to me. If you do have one made make sure that they copy a proven design. I've see some shop built stuff around here that is next to worthless. The welds are great and the paint looks good, but the design sucks. If your guys have not built a smoker before...

    Hey Buzzard, If you want to look at some nice pits check out this site. They are kind of pricey, but really nice. I will own one someday. The meatloaf sounds great. http://www.bbqpits.com/ Burk (fellow Texican)

    Smoked Beer Can Chicken

    I wonder what effect a good slather of mustard or other ingredient has on the texture of the skin? Is all just temp.? Burk

    Tin Pan Alley Baked Beans

    Tin Pan Alley Baked Beans Saw this recipe somewhere and tweaked it a little. Very close to Earlâ€8482s recipe. I like to experiment with every new batch and it always turns out great. Start with a #10 can (the big one) of pork n beans. Rinse in a colander till all the juice is gone. Other...

    design / construction of my new pit

    Dennis, I like your design. From your drawing I deduced that the firebox runs the length of the cooking area. I think that is a good idea as far as the heat distrubution goes. My offset smoker has a convection plate under the grates in the cooking chamber. The purpose of the plate is to...

    Secrets to Great Barbecue

    Sometimes, even when you do everything just exactly like the recipe says, the barbecue just doesnâ€8482t turn out right. If this is the case for you, you probably have overlooked some very important facts. These facts are not in the books. They are not on the web site. These things are...
