    My first 80Gal RF build... This is going to be a blast!

    Alaska, Howdy.  I'll give you my 2 cents worth on the smoke issue....for what it's worth.  My top rack is way high too.  I've been experimenting with different techniques.  First off when I over smoke something it's usually because I don't get a good burn on my wood first.  When I put my meat...

    Dual RF Smokers on trailer....My first adventure

    Added a train horn Santa gave me for Christmas.  Will post a short video as soon as my antique pull chain gets here.  Horn is AWESOME! Smoked 22 turkeys for the homeless on Christmas day....was the greatest cook I've done to date....very rewarding and yet humbling at the same time.

    Question on cooking Boston Buttts for a group

    Al: Pulled is definitely easiest.  We often do cooks for high school events.  You will yield about 2 people to a pound by the time you lose fat and bone.  Better too much than not enough. You can pull the day of the cook or the next.  We often times will have pulled pork left over.  We cool it...

    My first RF smoker build, any help would be appreciated

    I put my RF in perfectly level also.  I cook LOTS.  Usually at least 200 lbs a weekend.  My smoker has only greased up with the 43 turkeys I did at Thanksgiving.  Otherwise I just scrape cooked on drippings up into a pile and use the drain in the rinse out phase.

    My first RF smoker build, any help would be appreciated

    $200 not the greatest but not bad.  I paid $200 here in Oregon for inside and out of the two 7' smokers

    New guy from ATL

    Oh ya I can relate.  About a month ago I announced my smoker trailer was going away for the winter.  Spent 5 days straight on it at Thanksgiving going home Thanksgiving morning at 11:00 delivering turkeys and smoked mac and cheese along the way.  Fired it up day before yesterday to smoke some...

    Smoker & Cabin Heating

    Haven't done it but food for thought.  Check with your local wood stove store there is a blower that goes on a chimney that allows hot air to go through it and the blower takes the heat and blows it out.  With a little ingenuity you would be able to use this to heat a room.  Good luck

    Operation: Turkey Gobble. Now with bonus Q-vue!

    Beautiful Job.  I did the same door hinge and same idea to keep rack from falling out.  I don't think you want a stop on rack cause it allows you to take it out to clean....just my own experiences with this.

    Starting a build and have a few questions (pictures Added)(Q View now added)

    Your smoker is looking like it came out of a factory.  Only thing I'm not seeing is a counter weight on the door.  I wasn't going to put them on but my wife said no way....doors too heavy.  I'm really glad I added them.  doors used to weigh 60 lbs now around 5. I used flax seed oil to season. ...
