    CSR's on Weber Kettle

    Well now that I have about 10 pounds of pulled pork vacuum sealed in the freezer, I've been venturing out a bit lately and decided to try my first CSR's, and I have to say, I will definitely be making these again. I set the weber up for indirect heat and kept my temp around 225 the best I could...

    First Pork Butt

    All butts are different, that seems on the high side for times, but it is only done when it's done. I have found that my butts are juiciest when taken to 200-205. If you ever have doubts about time the first thing to do is calibrate your thermometers, both for the meat and for the smoker. I...

    100gal tank vertical smoker build.........my first build

    Looks like you've got something good to start with! I build a vertical charcoal/wood smoker from a 60 gallon tank and it's been working great. I have two ball valves for air flow control, and they work well because it allows you to make fine adjustments when you are just regulating temp...

    Stainless vertical propane build questions (standard flow)

    I wouldn't think you'd have to worry about the smoke making it around everything. I would just go check out whatever expanded metal is available to you and do a bend test with your hands to figure out what you feel works best for you. As far as the other questions, I cant really help you. I...

    Smokey Rib Stew

    Ok, so first off, this all started on a whim and ended with something amazing, and I thought I should share. I had been wanting to stockpile some PP so I didn't have to set the better part of a day aside every time I wanted some(not that I mind...but you know how it is...  haha). I bought two...

    smoked chuckie and potatoes for dinner final shots

     Rick! mud I have to disagree...everyone has different tastes. I love great bbq with dry rub alone, but sometimes I feel like smothering it in sauce, and never lose any sleep over it. I have heard the "good enough" statement plenty of times and it is my opinion that unless you are being judged...

    ET-732 Smoker Probe Question

    Thanks for the replies everyone! I got it in the mail a couple days ago. Tonight I took it out and calibrated with boiling water and with ice water, and I'm happy to report it was dead on. I've got a 7 and an 8 pound butt going on sunday morning with a rack of spares joining around noon...

    Glock 27 or Smith and Wesson M&P 40c

    Just curious, why do you say to stay away from rock island? I've had mine for a couple years now and have close to 1000 rds through it without a misload or misfire to report, and it is very accurate. I also know a guy who competes with one and does quite well. Like I said, just curious, everyone...

    Glock 27 or Smith and Wesson M&P 40c

    I don't own either, but I've shot both, and my personal preference would be the Glock. I really like the looks of the M&P, but the grips on it were a huge turn off for me. They were very hard plastic and somewhat uncomfortable which left me feeling like it was less secure in my hand but that's...
