    Which paint please!

    Powder coat it! Heck yes! They have stuff that is like Jethot, but works. Different colors and all. Some of the engine guys have super slick coatings for oil shedding, might make cleanup easy. They also have stuff that coats exhaust and looks like chrome from 5ft. Oh yeah!

    First try at a brisket flat w/pics

    Arrogant bastard has a flavor somewhere between used diesel engine oil and turpentine infused valerian root. I had a bottle once...once.

    Cucumber Overload !!

    So, old Russian proverb: Women were waiting in line to buy fresh produce. One woman says, "I'll have a long slender one." The next one says "I'll have a shorter wide one." When it was the old Babushka's turn in line she said "I don't care what size it is, its for the salad."

    pork spare ribs for saturday

    Best rib "rub" I have found is a dusting of Lowrey's seasoned salt. I don't care for a lot of sugar, which most rubs seem to have. The seasoned salt gives a good flavor without overpowering the flavor of the meat. Personal preference.

    Need more smoke

    Maybe an A-maze-n pellet smoker or tube smoker would help? I bought one and used it with my last smoke. Made a noticeable difference.

    1st attempt was a faliure...Trying to make the 2nd a success! PLEASE HELP

    I used some stove rope from Lowe's and some high temp silicone from Autozone to seal up my Char-Broil offset. (Probably the only one more flimsy and badly made than any others!) It helped tremendously. Also threw some big rocks in the belly of it, that made it maintain heat consistently. But I...

    To all Las Vegas Smoking Folks - Check out the charcoal sale at Lowe's

    Same thing here in KS, only limited to two packs. Still 74.4 lbs of good charcoal for $20. Heck of a deal.

    Thin Blue Smoke?

    Well, there were a ton of flies this time. I didn't attribute it to the smoker. LOL. The meat had a much better smoke to it this time. I'm happy. Next try will be some brisket methinks.

    Thin Blue Smoke?

    I had been under the impression that less was more. Been using about three chunks of wood around the size of a tennis ball. So, I picked up an amnps and am using that with briquettes for heat. We'll see how it turns out...

    Newb chasing the BBQ dragon...

    I have made some pretty darn good ribs. They are tender and tasty. I don't do the 3-2-1 stuff. I just hit them with some rub, throw them in the smoker, then ignore them for about 6 hours. The best I have made so far was just a sprinkling of seasoned salt for rub. Then smoke. I have had good...

    Thin Blue Smoke?

    Should say "much" not "muck"

    Thin Blue Smoke?

    Look right? I'm still pretty new and, while tasty, I don't get muck smoke flavor.

    Can you tell me what kind of tree this is?

    We have a mimosa. The leaves are made up of smaller leaves that are made up of smaller leaves. They "shut" at night. That is not a mimosa. However, I am on board with the honey locust line of thought. Not all honey locust have thorns.

    best grilling method on my weber genusis..

    I have an older Genesis too. I have "smoked" many a rib using the little Weber smoke box and wood chips. Only one burner and its still too hot for low and slow. But it does really good grilled ribs!
