    Ready for the contest

    Yeah I guess I need to start doing the Qview. I did not feel like posting them while I was getting my act together with the new smoker. I will try to describe it better. All I did was a basic butt. I got an 8 pounder out of Walley World. I don't do anything special to it besides smoke it really...

    4th of July Sin City Smoke-Out! (dial-up death)

    That's choice, good job. If it tastes half as good as the Qview, it must be good. I'm inspired to start posting a Qview of mine. That was a great idea tieing the corn with part of the husk. I will use that next time.

    Ready for the contest

    Well, I am ready for my contest on the 11th. Best news I will get to be there as well. I thought I was going to miss it, again. I have done several practice runs getting ready for it. I did a practice run on Monday when I found I was I would be able to attend the contest. That run went really...

    Great Thread!

    First disaster

    I think I am on my way to finding my large smoker mojo. I know it is not large compared to some of the other smokers I have seen in this forum. It is large to me though. I just ate my first pulled pork sandwich from it. And I am in pork nirvanna. I know I had to wimp out and use the oven so I...

    Well, 240, put me right where I want to be on the butt. Considering all the time it had in the racks before going into the oven, it tastes like it was all smoke. I was expecting as some of the inner fat started oozing out, I might get an oven roasted taste. I was pleasantly surprised that did...

    Problems with brand new smoker?

    I would try and get a little compensation first. You paid for a new grill in new condition, not OK condition. Then I would sand it down and oil it. RichTee is right about the paint. After one REALLY big fire in my SNP, the paint was gone in a lot of the fire box. A SNP is a light weight version...

    220 appears to have done OK on the ribs but I think another 45-60 min would have done them better. 220 I don't think got my butt where I wanted it. So I am trying a contol experiment. I put the already mostly cooked butt wrapped in foil in the oven at 200 for three hours. The meat temp was only...

    Well, I got a thermometer today. My normal voodoo and tea leaves obviously don't work on a smoker that large. I fired it up and let it run for about an hour. At first there was a 103 degree difference between the two ends. Somebody else here had a similar finding. The firebox end was 270, the...

    Well, I just found out today, yet another comp I am gonna miss. Work moved the comp once so I could to a meeting with my Uncle. My Uncle changed the meeting date today and added some days. No reason for my luck to change any now. Oh well and Hoorah. Gives me more time to prepare for the next...

    I am not sure. I have not gotten a better thermometer for it yet. The stock thermometer never got above the mid point in the ideal range. It may have gotten hotter had I not been opening often to rotate the chicken. The yard bird cook fairly fast. The ribs still were not done an hour later...

    First disaster

    It was a decent sized fire. It was a whole bag of charcoal with soaked hickory chunks added every 30 minutes. Since I did not have any fire in the chamber, I made the firebox fire a little bigger since my cooking surface is the largest I have ever used. I had the chicken on the hot end. I think...

    First disaster

    Need some help trying to figure out my new smoker which is an SNP I got for Father's day. This is my first smoker not blessed with a whole lot of home made engineering. Maybe MODS will be up my alley. More importantly the snp also portable. I did chicken and ribs at the same time. I was hoping...
