1st Place in Pork Ribs, 3rd place in Pork Butt and Grand Champions
Last weekend we entered a local BBQ contest benefiting Toys for Tots and Blue Santa. I ended up taking 1st place in ribs with the highest overall score in any category. My partner took 3rd pace in pork butt but only because we lost a coin flip for 2nd place tie breaker. I also took 2nd place in... -
My new ABS Bar-Be-Cube grill
Not sure on exact dimensions but they should be on their website. It is about the size of a city trash can that you would have at your home...just a little bit shorter. I would have liked to see some some things that would be seen on a higher-end smoker like an insulated fire box, better...- stabone

My new ABS Bar-Be-Cube grill
I actually sold it a while ago. NOT because I didn't like it, but because I had other things that I wanted instead. I like the ABS quite a bit but not sure I'd buy it again. There are just a few things that I think, if changed, would make this a bad ass smoker. For the price though, you really...- stabone

My new American Barbeque Systems smoker
Hazzo, I actually sold the "All-Star" model after I used it twice. I just bought the "Bar-Be-Cube" model and it is awesome. Couldn't be happier with this unit, as far as how well it holds temps and cooks. Way better than the "All-Star" in my opinion.- stabone

My new ABS Bar-Be-Cube grill
Also, you can move the charcoal basket under the top rack and use it as a grill. I seasoned this thing last night and it held temp very well. I lit about 1+3/4 charcoal chimneys and dumped them into the fire box. ran the temp up to right about 250 and it held perfect for over an hour and a...- stabone

My new American Barbeque Systems smoker
Yes, there is a full length damper in the ABS models. I need to add some important information though, as my judgement may have been a bit unfair. I noticed when I went to the BBQ store that there is supposed to be a heat deflector in the fire box. Mine did NOT have one of these. Not sure if it...- stabone

My new ABS Bar-Be-Cube grill
Yes, there is a removable steel plate between the firebox and the bottom rack that acts as a heat shield. Also, there is an ash pan underneath the expanded metal fire basket. Both are removable.- stabone

My new ABS Bar-Be-Cube grill
Hey all, just thought I would post some pics of the new smoker that I picked up today. This is the American Barbecue Systems "Bar-Be-Cube" model smoker. Some of you may have read my last review of the American Barbecue Systems "All-Star" model that I did a few months ago. I wasn't real happy...- stabone

What's your favorite type of smoker and why?
I can't believe some of the responses I'm reading. Most of the smokers listed are cheaper, low-end smokers in my opinion. Not saying that you can't make great Q with a cheap smoker, but given the opportunity, I'm guessing most of you would upgrade if you could. I would have to say that my...- stabone

Spare ribs from today with Q-view
Here are some pics of the ribs that I did today on my new smoker. Kind of a spur of the moment idea but they turned out pretty good. One of the racks was a little thin so the short end kind of dried out a little, but not too bad. Smoke was perfect, flavor was awesome, think I used just a bit too...
