    Need menu for 300 people

    I tip my hat, sir. Very nicely done. Thanks for the details. I've had a few requests myself, but nothing that big... yet. So it's good to see how a fellow newbie pulled it off.

    Lump or Charcoal????

    Actually, I like to use a combination of the two. I look for 100% hardwood bruquettes. I'll use the briquettes because I find they hold the heat longer. The lump burns out too quickly, but seems to provide good flavor. I'll use about 50/50. And I'll throw a medium chunk of wood on now and again...

    ribs tommorrow

    'Scuse the slobber on keyboard. Dang those look good. I swear I am smelling them right now. Question: Is birch a strong or mild smoke? Can't say as I've smelled it before. I looooove the idea of basting with maple and honey. I'll have to try it next time. I finished a batch last weekend for...

    semi-pro smoker

    Good to have you here. This is a great place to get tips and advice. I started six months ago, and am now getting requests left and right to cater here or there. I couldn't have done it without the support of the SMF family.

    Char-Griller Smokin Pro 830 with side firebox

    Thanks, Beerivore. Actually, I did that a few months ago (after my post), and it has been wonderful. I extended it to the center of the cooking chamber. It has done wonders for helping to maintain heat inside the chamber. I also added some furnace sealer (its a cord that looks like nylon rope...

    Smokey Nachos

    Looks good. I've fried my own potato chips, but never thought I'd ever be able to make my own corn chips. Thanks for the recipe.

    Complete Beginner

    I had some problems with mine when I first started as well. I found that I was losing too much heat out of the sides, and maintaining temps was a bear. I made a few modifications, and it works much better now. I work on the cheap, so don't worry about having to spend too much money on mods...

    Charcoal Smoker Modifications

    I have finally gotten my smoker to maintain temp. With some advice from a few friends here at the forum, I made a few mods. Click here to see. http://ikinya.blogspot.com/2007/03/smoker-mods.html

    Compare Your Food or Not

    Before smoking, I used to compare all BBQ to one just north of Tulsa. But after a couple of times doing it myself, I realized that there is very little comparison, because you have to add in the satisfaction of having done it yourself. After finally getting the perfect rib, once, I now compare...

    Ghargrill cast iron grates

    Thanks for all the advice. I took them out and scraped them down real good, rinsed them off and dried them. Then I brushed them with cooking oil and put them in the oven on about 200* for about 6 hours. That seems to have done the trick! Since then, I have used it a couple of times, had some...

    Freezing meat

    I got a found a really good meat sale, but it may not be until next week before I get a chance to smoke it. Is it okay to freeze the raw meat? I'm sure there is something to be said about fresh meat, but is there a noticeable difference if it is frozen? Should I thaw it out completely before...

    First Fatties

    My first one was Jimmy Dean. Oh my Gosh! So freakin good. The family couldn't stay away. Then I tried JC Potter. Not quite the same. I wondered if it might have been a difference in my smoking method, but the tenderloin I was smoking turned out aaaaaaawwwwesome! I'm convinced Jimmy Dean is the...

    Need immediate help with getting heat

    Well, I finished my first smoke. I can't say I met with a lot of success, but do have a number of ideas for improving my equipment. Thanks, Pigcicles, for the help. I began with heating problems. It didn't seem that I was getting any heat into the cooking chamber. After turning over the...

    Need immediate help with getting heat

    HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!! I started the coals up about an hour ago in the firebox. The firebox is nice and hot, but the temp in the grill area wouldn't get past 100. I noticed there was a lot of heat near the firebox, so I turned the coal pan upside down to try to help it distribute. Now, I can't even...

    Pearly Gate Stretch

    Peter says to the man standing at the pearly gates, "Tell me something from your life that makes you worthy to get in to heaven." "Well," says the man, "there was the time I came across this group of big, mean thugs that looked like they were roughing up this woman. I think they were meaning to...
