    Yea I know. My problem was when I went to buy everything to make it from scratch I was about double the price then what I did. The meat alone was about $50 and to get everything premade only was $75. I do have to say we had a large family party for my grandmothers 90th birthday and how her...

    hawthorn wood?

    I think this weekend when I go to adjust my deer stand I am going to trim some of them and let it dry. Then I will try it in small peices and go from there. I have to say the wood is very hard. When I did a trim on a oak branches I could break with my hands with oak I could not even bend of...

    hawthorn wood?

    I did see that when I did a search. I am just not sure if it would be good for smoking. The first thing I wanted to make sure is that it was edable. I even saw a think that said this is a very hot burning wood because it is very hard. I am just wondering if anyone has used it and if it is...

    Can't Keep the Heat Up!

    I have to agree. With just starting with my first all wood smoker I have found out I need Oak to keep my temps up. About 50% of my burn is oak. It keeps the temps up and I only have to add wood about every 45min to an hour.

    Boston Beef Roast

    I am just wondering we got a botson beef roast and have always done it in the oven. I am just wondering is there any way to cook this on the smoker or even do a half and half between the oven and the smocker. I thought would ask and see instead of just doing the normal oven cooking.

    Very juicy butt what did I do right?

    You might be right on that. The one thing that was very different on this compared to my old Brinkman Pitmaster Pro even with the mods is that I did not have to check the meat as often. Becasue this new one cooks so much more even I did not have to touch the meat to move it or adjust it like I...

    questions about the double barrel smoker

    I used my dewalt 18v jigsaw with 24teeth per inch blade. It just cut though the metal great and I never did realy use a file on anything. I used a large washer to make the out lines for the corners. I jig saw does not make sharp turns so I had to make some times 3 cuts into the metal to get...

    Smokers and powder coat

    Get the powder that they use on engines. Most are made to take at least 1000 deg and it will hold up well. It will even hold up to grease. You should be able to get it so it just coats the out side though. That is a good idea. Just wondering have you had and quotes on the cost to do this...
