    Kingsford Hardwood Lump

    You don't have a Wal-Mart nearby? Our closest Wal-Mart is about 30 miles so we typically only go once a month, so I always buy about 10 bags or so of Royal Oak. Sometimes we end up going twice a month and I again buy another 10 bags. Other alternative would be to order it off the website...

    Cherry Wood

    Cherry is also my favorite and in my opinion best smoking wood on the planet. Great flavor and very forgiving if you chunk in too much. I also have never heard of poisonous cherry wood. What I have heard of is some people who didn't let it cure and used it too soon with poison ivy residue on...

    How much would you pay for a steel drum?

    Sacks of tomatoes? Never heard of anyone using steel drums to ship whole tomatoes, sacked, stewed or otherwise. Double check with him on the contents. If they are $5 a pice and even if he is charging $10 a piece for delivery it would be a great buy. Might be worth it to get as many as you...

    Grilled Dove with Maple

    OK Yard Dog you silly Razorback, you've done it now. From the looks of this recipe I would say you have stumbled onto something really great. Now I will have to get the shotgun out for dove after years and years without them. Gave up dove years ago and just waited for pheasant season. I...

    Does anyone do potatoes in the smoker?

    yup we put them straight on the rake in the smoke for an hour. Then we wrap them in foil and hold there for half an hour. Take out and let rest for 15 minutes or so. After that we all eat them up as fast as possible. Nice, soft, sweet smoky flavor. Pretty darn good in the summer and just...

    Royal Oak and Wal-Mart

    Hey Seaham have you tried the Wal-Mart charcoal brand. In my opinion it starts faster, burns hotter and longer and leaves less ash than the Kingsford. Have you voiced your displeasure with management about the RO situation? Lucky for me I have 5 Wal-Marts within 30 miles and come next spring...

    Royal Oak and Wal-Mart

    Hey Pink, thanks anyhow. When I was at Wally world yesterday I picked up 10 more bags of RO. That brings my current supply to 28. My wife tells me I better get a used metal dumpster to store them in before they self ignite. But all kidding aside, winter is coming on soon enough. The last...

    Royal Oak and Wal-Mart

    This morning I decided to go to the Royal Oak webpage. Been using it for quite a while but never looked at their web page. Anyhow, I keep getting a network timed out message over and over again. Does anyone know if their webpage is still active? Did a google search and all I found were...

    Wood

    Take it and split up all you can and store it well away from your home.. Cherry is also my main wood choice, the other being apple. But I use cherry on everything I smoke and grill. Besides the great smoke ring and flavor it gives the meat, it also smells about the best. The one downside I...

    Hello From KC!

    Alright Sam, I see you found my old rig. I lost it up in KC when I moved away, you can deliver it up here to McLouth and I'll cook you up a great old meal with it. A little brisket, some pulled butt, a few chickens and smoked corn. All kidding aside, that is one nice smokehouse. Welcome to...

    Tired of my ecb want NEW

    Fordman have another question for your situation. What kind of charcoal are you sing? Briquettes or lump? It makes a big difference between brands and types. Some brands burn too quick and don't put out much heat. Lump in my opinion is best. Just like many things in life, the best charcoal...

    Electric ECB - Modifying for Charcoal

    One more thing I forgot to mention for your conversion. Be sure to replace that thermometer that is on the electric ECB. Go to Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, Sears or what ever you have in your area. You ought to be able to get a small 2 or 3 inch replacement that will go in there. Leave the...

    How to season a new smoker?

    My opinion here. Do it in 2 days, burn off and season one day, second day let it sit and temper itself, just like a cast iron pan. All good things goes to those with a little patience. You heard about the PAM and vegetable option. They are right, spray that smoke chamber down good --...

    Electric ECB - Modifying for Charcoal

    I have both an electric and a charcoal ECB. Just a question, why do you want to convert it? Wally world has the charcoal ECB for about 35 bucks. Buy one and enjoy both worlds. That electric one can come in handy on weather challenging days. But if you want to convert, especially cheaply...

    nube building a homeade offset.

    This is just my own opinion and all. Many have done just what you are planning. I have made one as you described, along with other offset designs. But now I am going to make a UDS. They don't need a waterpan or baffle plates. They use very little fuel and keep a really consistent temp going...

    Trying a new vendor for wood chunks

    Rich and everybody else, I have posted this before and so have several others. One of the best places to get smoking wood is sometimes not thought of and they seem to be in or very near every community. We all have fruit markets where they sell apples, hickory nuts, pecan, cherries and so...
