    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Pig - Sorry I'm just now responding.  Harley confirmed just about everything I was thinking.  From the research I've done, if you use a charcoal basket and the Guru, you can expect 4-6 hours of burn time.  I'm just like Harley and have always been a straight stick burner.  After hearing Harley's...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Hi Saluki -  I did not go with the trailer model because I have a fairly new 4' x 8' trailer that I use to haul the smoker.  If I didn't have that already, I would have went with the trailered model.  I understand your concern about not having enough space.  So far, I have always had plenty...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Hello Pig-A-Liscious! I'm glad you've enjoyed the posts.  It sounds like you have put a lot of time in researching all of the units that are out there.   I personally believe that the best unit differs for each person.  I moved from a Horizon 16" offset to the Peoria Backyard unit.  I enjoy...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Saluki, I too apologize.  I haven't been on in a while. I agree with everything Harley said.  Most recently, I cooked 2 briskets, 2 pork butts, 3 racks of baby backs and 12 chicken thighs on my backyard model.  I still had some room to spare, but not a whole lot. I honestly never see myself...

    Oh boy! I am sorry I didn't keep up with the Qview as things progressed.  As most of you are familiar with this scenario, I had about 10 neighbors show up right as things were coming off the smoker.  Let's just say that everything was a success. Ok, here are my thoughts from the cook: 1.  The...

    First Smoke With Qview - Peoria Custom Cookers Backyard.....Loadin it up!!!!

    Mr. Lederman, I promise there will be no alcohol consumption, resulting in mediocre Q.....until at least noon :)   Things are cruising right along.  The pit is keeping a good steady temp of about 250 with minimal maintenance.  I'm just adding a small split every 45 minutes or so.  The temps...

    Good Morning! Make coffee.  Check. Make sure no one stole the beverages overnight.  Check. Bailey's for coffee.  Crap.  Oh well.  I'll get by. Unwrap the meat and hit with one last shot of magic dust.  Get the pit up to temp.  Check. Get the meat on!  Check. Ribs and chicken...
