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...

    Question on homemade smoker.

    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.

    Question on homemade smoker.

    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...

    What temp for turkey breast & pork butt

    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.
