    Jambo's are awesome, but who wants to remortgage their house to own one. 8-18 K for a pit.Nice and flashy, but I have beat a couple Jambos in my last comp cookin off my 60 deluxe and a WSM. I would say that good Q is 50% cook, 30% cooker,10% quality meat and spices, and 10% luck and...

    Which Wood Smoker to Buy?

    First your not compairing apples to apples here. A 1/4" contruction reverseflow against your smoker is not the same, and for a couple hundred dollars more you could own this. http://www.pigroast.com/48pages/model48p.htm Don't get me wrong your rig is sweet one for sure.

    whole packer into burnt ends, any reason not to?

    The flat cubed and re-smoked will be too dry! Burnt ends are awesome, and normally don't last very long!

    Opinion: Best cut of beef for pulled beef

    My vote would be for a chuck roll or shoulder clod!Lotsa flavor and smoke them just like a butt! If done right, they will pull just as easy.

    Clodzilla is born!!

    looking good so far . The first 150 degrees are the easiest. The next 50 will take forever. Hang in there. If you are gonna pull it(shredded) make sure you take it to 205 internal for the best pull IMO. I do alot of clods and chuck rolls, they are one of my favorites.

    What happened to Texas-Hunter?

    I think Ken still visits from time to time, as do I and a few others that were more active "pre-crash", But some of us have found other places to play and post along with SMF, and it is summer, and that means alot of outside time for alot of us.
