I keep a 5 gallon bucket under my pit. Each time I clean the ash from a cook I put it in the bucket and any grease drips into the bucket of ash under the pit. I don't get a lot of grease, espescially with a drip pan, but whenever the bucket gets full I just dump it behind the shed and it keeps...
Vent or no vent the point is noted, even if the vent was there if no one thought to look for a missing child there it would certainly end bad. I have a three year old boy so it's better to be safe right.
Thanks Meat hunter, now a got a good foot forward in searching for one should I decide to go that route for sure. I may build a small structure around it to nice it up for the neighbors, but after a mentioning getting one the other day one nieghbor said he would not care if he had to look at it...
This is the kind of info I was looking for guys, thanks, I scrapped the cabinet idea already. Sausage was not the only thing I planned to make in it thats why I stated the higher temps. I will consider the fridg further what type, size and modifications do I need make one, I will do a search on...
Dude, my wife always makes fun of me when I start taking pics of food I do keep the camera on the counter and alwyas take pics of stuff but tonight I was just to tired to mess with it.
...but on a whim tonight I took some fresh homemade venison German sausage, smoked it with pear wood for about 30 minutes then steamed them in a pan with Oktoberfest beer, on the grill for another 15 minutes and then direct grilled them for 6 more and I tell you they were out frikin standing...
Here is another cabinet, closer to what I had in mind

I've neve built one before so I don't know what will work or not as far as how thick the metal should be to keep heat in. I am open to any ideas as I am really in the brainstorming phase...
Yeah thats just an exaple and not the one I am looking at, for that money I could just buy a 48" vertical smoker and be done with it. I've seen some cheaper cabinets for around $150 that are darn near the same thing. I am also looking for some thing that is a little more low profile than a...
I have been trying to find a way to make a nice big homemade smoker with out going to much trouble. I want to be able to do mass quantities(50-100 lbs at a time) of smoked summer sausage and/or jerky and really whatever else I can do. Anyhow I was thinking about buying a steel storage cabinet...
If you have a gas grill in addition to your smoker, fire that thing up and let it get hot. When the turk is pretty much done toss it on the direct heat for a few minutes to get her crispy. Works for a few guys I know who do it, I've only done a few turkeys myself and never tried that idea.
Do you guys like to put the slaw on your pork sandwiches? I though it was the nastiest sounding idea ever until I tried it and now I won't eat a pork sammie without slaw on top!
For me, I've found that usually my temps rise pretty steady till around 135-150 during the first 4-5 hours of cooking (on a 6-8 lb butt) the next 2 hours (6,7) it steadies out around 155-165, my plateau, I hit 170-180 after 8-9 hours, 190 around 10 hrs ( I foil at 180 ish) usually after 11...
Best homemade slaw I've tried;
