    Need to make mods on a new offset smoker (bbqgalore)

    I had the older version of BBQ galore offset, it wasn't perfect but it did me well for a number of years. I would say just to use some JB weld around the smoke stack where it leaks, add some type of seal around the door and add some tuning plates. Meathead Goldwin has some great tips at modding...

    Disappointing first smoke on the new smoker

    That's the million dollar question right there, I have heard everything from cook chicken at higher temps (tried that, worked pretty good @ 350) to scrape all the fat from under the skin prior to cooking and everything else under the sun. I removed the skin last time I did legs and it was mighty...

    Disappointing first smoke on the new smoker

    I think we are agreeing that he needs more practice. I don't preheat my wood unless I feel its too thick of a log, I would just split it in that case, but give it a try! I just leave the firebox open to get the log(s) going. Remember to keep a fire going you need 4 things, fuel, heat, oxygen...

    Disappointing first smoke on the new smoker

    I have never used walnut wood. I only use wood when cooking so my advice to you is that a free burning fire is the best way to avoid the creosote issue and over smoking. You just need to learn how small of a free burning fire you need and more practice on your new cooker with the new method...

    Yup still loving it, actually might be putting it up for sale soon as I think I'm ready to go mobile and cooking capacities and desires grow. Whenever I cook I am getting a lot of friends and coworkers that ask me to cook them up some food, so I'm more than happy to oblige them, and every time I...

    lang hybrid models

    Yes my experience with emails is hit and miss. Ben goes out of his way to please his customers, as I'm sure most of these high quality pit builders will. I had the first pit he made with a fold down prep area on my 36 because I needed the whole pit to fit through my doorway so I can get it...

    Anyone build a fully insulated offset smoker?

    My welding skills are non existent, I actually sold my Lincoln Idealarc due to other issues, but I've been tinkering with the idea of trying to build a fully insulated offset. Anyone done this? I'm thinking it would allow a new welder like me to not have to use such heavy materials and thus...

    So Cal Smokers Gathering Update 9/18

    Not sure if I can make it gang, lost track of time with my weekend job and trying to get the house together for our baby on the way! My in-laws jammed up the wife to go camping with them this weekend too, so it will be tough to get my wife to give her parents for my hobby. We'll see though.

    "Burnt ends" - need some help

    Thanks, I'll give that a whirl! How long do you leave em in after cubing? You have it on racks, instead of foil, I'll have to try that as well. No sauce either? Heck what if I just cube up the point to begin with and cook the flat separate, any luck with that?

    "Burnt ends" - need some help

    I've cubed them up, threw some sauce and rub on them and threw em back in. Or just Rub and threw them back in, but all I taste is that darn fat and it drives me nuts. I've only left them in for another hour, possibly way too short?

    Been craving food so I'm cooking a smoker full *pics added*

    Sorry guys I got so involved with my guests that I didn't get around to taking any pics of the finished product. If I can remember I'll snap a pic of the left overs, I know not the same but we'll see. Food was delicious though. Butts took longer than I had planned, the tri-tip was good but not...

    "Burnt ends" - need some help

    I have yet to make good burnt ends, I'm basically ready to give up on it, I don't like the point for nothin! My friends and coworkers that have tried it unknowingly prefer the flat as well.
