How do you add wood for your smoke flavor?
Sandman never heard of that problem. But what I do is put a few chunks into my chimney starter and get them burnt down to coals and then add them into the coal pit of the smoker. What type of wood are you using? Sounds like it might be pretty old stuff to just ignite.- davidmcg

Re-post of Meat Loaf with Q-View
They were mini loaves, little 1 pounders. Everybody in this house has their one favorite spices so I have to make seperate loaves when I smoke them. Almost had to take the divider out of the smoker just to get them all in there. Wutang I thought it was a fitting way to honor him as well... -
Re-post of Meat Loaf with Q-View
Well I'll try this again. Wayside Ranch tried to steer me in the right direction, then I also went back and read the tutorial. First pic is from yesterday when I did some meat loaf. Temp was steady at 250 for an hour. Fuel was R.O. and Wally world charcoal. I also used 1 good sized chunk of... -
Re-post Meat loaf with Q-View from 09-20-2008
OK yesterday I posted some pics of my meat loaf that I smoked but it didn't work out to well. I am reposting now using photobucket instead of the gallery. Number one is as the meat loaf went on. Temp was sitting at 250 and stabilized for 1 hour. Fuel was R.O. with a little Wally world brand... -
Meat loaf with Q-View
Well BBQGODDESS I posted them to the photo gallery but it said I had to reduce them. Next time I'll post them to photobucket and link from there so they will be larger. If nothing else at least this time I remembered to take some pics. -
A little help with heat management...
Well this is a little generic because I do not have any experience with your smoker but is pretty much standard for most smokers out there. First and foremost, your chimney vent needs to be wide open -- no choke. Your vent for the firebox, you didn't say how far open it was, hopefully at least...- davidmcg

Meat loaf with Q-View
Smoked some meat loaf Saturday and thought I would share the photo's. First one is the loaves going into the low slow heat, temp of 250 and steady for 1 hour. I used a waterpan on these, for fuel I used R.O., some Wally world charcoal and 1 chunk each of cherry, apple and mesquite... -
How Long will Venison last in freezer?
Sorry folks I guess I am a chicken. I never keep venison beyond a year regardless of how it is wrapped. Besides, in our family, it would be a miracle if any cut of meat lasted beyond a year before it gets cooked and ate. -
beer butt chicken
When I do the beer can bird I brine overnite, rub the next day. I crank the smoker up to 250 and keep it there for an hour. Then I raise to 300 for another hour and finally boost to 350. Once the probe in the breast reads 165 I pull them off and let rest for about 30 minutes in the house... -

American Royal BBQ Championship
The American Royal BBQ is a wonderful place. Lots of good people there. If your in the area those couple of days its definitely a great thing to go and experience. A word of advice would be shuttle buses. Driving down there is a nightmare. The walk from any parking spot is an adventure all...- davidmcg

beer butt chicken
I use rub on my beer can yardbird but I don't baste. I think it depends on what type of smoker you have, the weather and personal taste as to basting. -
Cabela's has $4.95 flat rate shipping--Apple or Pecan?
Lord of the Ring if you want to smoke or grill with all wood with all that extra smoke your getting here is something for you to try. You'll need a small burn barrel and your favorite wood, or even the open ground. Just burn the wood and shovel/scoop up the coals only and put them in the...- davidmcg

Cabela's has $4.95 flat rate shipping--Apple or Pecan?
Never bought any of the wood from Cabella's, at this price I should. We have a Cabella's retail store 30 miles away. Also, on the Wally World R-O, just came back from there. Picked me up another 10 bags, thats 30 bags total for the month. A happy smoking I am set for. Smoking is still...- davidmcg

Beef Ribs Questions
Here when we do beef ribs, which isn't that often anymore, we don't do very much special. Use your favorite marinade and rub and we keep our heat between 195 and 205, the beef ribs tend to ry out a bit easier than pork. All due to fat content and distribution. We generally as a rule smoke 2... -
UDS "draft"
Interesting plans. I don't know anything at all about propane, but I am looking at them because I don't have a propane cooker. All I have is charcoal/wood and electric. My simple idea for a base was to take an old push mower base and mount my build right on it. I did this with my first...- davidmcg

Cooking steaks straight over wood?
We do the same here with the ECB. Just take out the waterpan and get that coal basket way up there. Load it up with some good lump and toss on some cherry, apple and mesquite chunks -- small ones. Let them burn down and throw on the steaks. After the first flip we toss on some shavings...
