    Advice on Party

    I forgot how much weight you lose on a butt, probably better go with 2 then. I made up 25 lbs of andoulli sausage this last weekend (70/30 venison/pork ratio) and may drop a few lbs of that in the smoker for a few hours too, only 3-4 of us will eat that though. Going to do the butts over night...

    Advice on Party

    My boy is turning 4 in a few weeks and we are going to have a BBQ Last year I did ribs and they seemed to be a hit, but in the intrest of keeping things from getting redundant I am going to do a pork butt instead of ribs. My question is how much should I plan for per person? We have 10 adults...

    I wish I could help, I am looking for a good recipe myself. I tried a recipe last weekend and they were not that good. They hardly had any flavor at all and there was almost no heat.

    Awww Hell! Them pics are buried under 25 inches of snow I've been snowed out of my deer hunting spot since about X-Mas and can not get into swap any memory cards on my trail cams, where the pics accidently ended up, so it's going to be awhile for those I looked into the temps and fumes...

    New plywood smokehouse

    During my first run I was testing the temps and vent positions and if I close the bottom vent to far the flame will burn out on the stove as it depletes the oxygen inside. I did however find that since I have the vent below the burner I loose zero heat with it all the way open and it feels cool...

    New plywood smokehouse

    I am considering aluminum or cement backer board, have not decided for sure which but I am leaning toward the aluminum because it's lighter and will take less space.

    New plywood smokehouse

    Do not know for sure with the propane, on the lowest setting, and the drip pan acting as a heat sheild, she hummed along at 170-180 on the cooking grate before I turned up the gas. I need to do some testing in the summer to see what kind of mods I need to do to keep the heat low enough to do...

    New plywood smokehouse

    Though I originally intended to insulate it I did not. I used 1/2 inch plywood for the walls using construction adhesive and 1/4" crown 7/8 leg staples to attach it, afterwords I sealed it all with high temp morter. It's applied just like caulk, through a tube with a gun, the stuff is resistant...
