    Protect Deck from Charcoal

    I checked out the mats Al suggested, they come in fairly large sizes.  I think I will be fine if I place on under the smoker and one in front. Thanks!

    Protect Deck from Charcoal

    How large are those?  I was looking for something decently big.

    Protect Deck from Charcoal

    I have a backwoods party and I was wondering how to protect a wood deck from the charcoal ash.  When I take out my firebox for cleaning or to light it definitely gets ash everywhere.  I was thinking about placing plywood down but not sure if that would work (or catch fire during lighting!). Any...

    Temp Difference on Backwoods Party Help

    Thank you all for the input!  I figured as much that there was just a natural variation.  I generally swap the shelves now, or place items up top that need the high heat. Thanks!

    Temp Difference on Backwoods Party Help

    Alright, so this may be a stupid question without an answer but I figured I'd try.  So obviously on the backwoods party the heat rolls in from the top, this I get. I have done about a dozen cooks and the difference in color I get on my meat is significant between meat on the bottom shelves and...

    Storing Brisket before serving...

    I have a party next weekend but due to time constraints I must smoke my 2 5 lb brisket flats the Saturday before.  Should I plan on cutting them after smoking (and resting of course) vacuum sealing and refrigerating for a week?  Should I try to vacuum seal the entire brisket then cut before...

    New Backwoods Party

    Another note- for cleaning any tips?  I have been taking the water pan inside and scrubbing it, and soaking the racks in water and soap until I can wipe them down.  I loosely wipe down the insides if I see any large build up, but mainly leave it alone. I heavily foil everything I can, including...

    New Backwoods Party

    I'm not sure how many lbs I use per load, but it is very full.  I did some briskets last weekend and I got about 6 hours straight no problem, so maybe I just need to keep testing it.  I may also have been lighting too large an area in the corner before beginning.  Either way, I am loving this...

    New Backwoods Party

    Yessir! Here are pictures.   The cover is awesome- double zipper so you can access the front for cleaning without taking the whole thing off. Legit cover- extremely thick. Deflector shield, I wrapped mine in heavy duty foil to protect it. I got the upgraded firebox.  This thing is...
