    New to charcoal/firebox smoker

    Still learning with my sidebox. It is a labor of love. Welcome, you will learn a ton here. Depending on how long I plan to smoke depends on the amount of charcoal I use. I typically line my side box with a two to three briquet  layer deep and then start a chiminey full of charcoal. When the...

    Herbs in the 'beercan' chicken

    Haven't tried them in the smoker but on the gas grill I use a aluminum pie pan. 1/2 the beer or soda in the pan 1/2 stays in the can. I rub the outside of the birds with any cheap Italian dressing and I usually just pour garlic salt and a little onion powder into the cavity after I washed it...

    Smoked a Few Birds in The New Smoker

    Al, thanks for asking. They game out great. The breast meat was succulent. The legs and wings were just firm enough that you could eat them on the bone without them falling apart. Nice smoked flavor. Usually, I use pecan chunks or hickory chunks for all my smoking needs. While at Wally World...

    Bought a new vertical, have a few questions

    So after my weekend making briskets on my little Brinkman I decided to take a bit of a plunge and get a bigger smoker. I have been debating  a build of my own and even saved the pipes off of my Harley for the stacks but to my surprise my wife and father-in-law had an Old Texas BBQ Vertical...

    Brisket Cherry Will Be Poped Tonight

    Well Here is the story. I battled the temps all night. I would only get about 1.5 hrs of consistent 200 to 250 temp. I hit the stall at about 3:30 AM at brisket temp of between 158 and 161 degrees. It lasted roughly 4 hrs!!! At 8:30 I had to make a command decision. With 30 people coming at 2...

    Brisket Cherry Will Be Poped Tonight

    Ok the briskets have been on for an hour now and she is holding steady at 200. I think that will be my biggest battle all night will be keeping the temp between 2 and 250. I have the pan on 2 bricks and several air holes drilled in each pan. Couldn't find any grates for the bottom of the pans...

    Labor Day Weekend Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe

    That looks awesome. Done something similar for a 4th party years ago but added some fried shrimp on top just before serving. Sounds different but the crunch of the shrimp complimented the burger well.
