    Inexpensive Smoker

    I still haven't gotten around to building mine, but a UDS would fit your description.  I found a barrel source for $20.  I'm guessing I can get it built for under $100 once I get off my butt to do it.  The only trick is finding a safe barrel.  Once you've got that, you're golden.

    My new awesome Thermapen has arrived!!!!!!!

    Outstanding quote.  Hope you don't mind if I steal it, for home use only.

    Why is my internal temp of meat so low but the meat is cooked?

    2 things.  One, did you use boiling water, or just hot water?  It needs to be boiling, and you need to see 100c on your thermo (100c is the boiling point, isn't it?)  So your assumptions could be off. Second, a stall is pretty common.  I have mostly seen it on pork butts.  It happens a lot with...

    Hi temp Brisket.

    I've wondered about that myself while watching one of those shows with Mixon competing.  I wasn't sure if he just said 350 when he meant 250 or what.  Or if he wasn't just lying to throw everyone off his secrets.

    First Butt is in the smoker - NOW with Q-View!

    I'd take it to 200, maybe as 205 before taking it out to foil and rest it.  The meat will shred OK at 190, but I've had considerably better results if I take it to IT of 200 or 205. IT can also be a bit frustrating, maybe even deceiving.  If you think it's almost done, you can poke it with a...

    traeger grills burn corn?

    That's an interesting question.  If they're pellets that would fit through the augers, I'm sure it would work mechanically.  But the question is whether using combusting corn would give you a good and/or safe food product.  I have no idea, but if I were thinking about doing this, I would...

    Thanksgiving practice

    See ChefJJ's post above.  If JJ says it, it's gospel as far as I'm concerned. All I know is Butterball turkeys are incredibly moist and usually yield a lot of drippings in the pan.  I've never injected, so I have no input there.  Just make sure to educate yourself on food safety issues...

    Thanksgiving practice

    My first smoke ever was a full turkey on Thanksgiving 3 years ago.  It was a Butterball, smoked in a Weber kettle style grill with hickory chips thrown on the coals periodically.  I didn't have the first clue what I was doing.  I had terrible temperature monitoring abilities and I probably...

    Smoked round tip roast (I thought it was a tri tip at first). *Q View*

    You sir, are absolutely correct. I think this was better as thin sliced cold cut type meat than served hot as a roast. The smoke taste evened out in the fridge. I just had a sandwich with extra sharp Tillamook cheddar and spicy brown mustard. W. O. W. Sooo good. Based on my experience with...

    Stolen Bar-B-Que Smoker on 14ft Trailer NEW PICTURE of the smoker.

    When was this stolen?  I live right off I-15, which is one of the main interstates running through Vegas.  It's a long outside shot, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. Also, dumb question, but was the trailer registered?  If so, post state of registry and license plate #.  I doubt a thief would be...

    Smoked round tip roast (I thought it was a tri tip at first). *Q View*

    So at first I thought it was a tri tip.  Turns out, I saw the word "tip" on the label and just assumed it said tri tip, when in actuality it said round tip.  Turns out there are more than one tips on a cow.  Dummy.  Anyway, I proceeded as though it was a tri tip, and the results were pretty...
