    Is this barrel ok to use??

    What Tom said^^ If it does have an epoxy liner you either get it out the hard way with a grinder and wire wheel or what I did was have mine sandblasted for $20. Get to building, we need some Qview!   We're waiting!

    First time at Pulled Pork = Night mare...... with Q-views

    A heck of a way to start of the new year with a heck of a save!!  Something I do with my thermo base unit is just set a block of wood on top of the smoker to set the base unit on. Definitely glad to hear things weren't worse!

    Pan under butts from the start or add later?

    No pan here either.   If you haven't tried foiling one from 165° to 200°, you may want to give it a try.  You'll get more than enough juices foiling but I rarely use the juices unless I'm going to crock pot it to serve at pot luck or something.  A good substitute is water and/or apple juice for...

    Boston Butts & Q-view

    The bark on those babies sure looks nice! You're going to find not a lot of butts are the same.     I've had small ones (7 or 8 lbs) go for 8 hours or up to 15 hours.  I've had bigger cuts (9 or 10 lbs) vary from 8 to 22 hours.  The point I'm trying to make is, don't go by time!  You've got to...

    Newbie Smoker, Which Smoker To Get, questions please **HELP**

    Build a UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) for a starter or until you can save up the funds to get something else.  Had I done that I probably wouldn't have bought the gasser I have.  Don't get me wrong, I do like my gasser (GOSM), but using the charcoal I think meats smoked with the coals have more...

    My first attempt at smoking! Baby Backs!

    Congrats on your first smoke!  With the diversion of having to make a store run, it looks and sounds like you were still satisfied and that's all that matters.  The only time I'd leave a smoke is for an emergency beer run! lol  (I can't let my wife know it's ok to do so or I'll always have my...

    Do you think the brisket is safe?

    I'm sure you'll get some other input, however, considering you were well below the recommended 140° internal meat temp for at least 8 1/2 hours from the sounds of your explanation, so it may be wise to trash this one and give it try another time.   The USDA guideline is that your whole muscle...
