    large smoke for Memorial Day - Q-view to follow

    thanks, I sure hope so! I just pulled the loins (they hit 200F quite a bit faster than the chucks and butts :scratch: ) based on that experience I took all the other pieces and wrapped them in tin foil in an effort to soften up the crust a bit - wrapped them at ~170F). Decided to do another...

    Using the search feature to find answers

    yep, just thought since he said in the OP that "ABT" was a good search term, that perhaps it would be good to point this limitation out so as to avoid frustration for those users new to Vbulletin. I just did a quick mental check and came up with a bunch of 3 letter search terms one might be...

    Wtf.....over?

    searching "oak" will not work. the search term must be over 3 characters for Vbulletin's search feature to work. If you search for sources of oak that ship via ups and type in "red oak ups" it will return nothing. It's a truly frustrating limitation sometimes.

    Quality of Camp Chef Smoke Vault?

    Update: Thank you ncdodave. I called and asked for the guy you directed me to. took a couple of days, but I finally got a call back (from someone else - apparently he just works in marketing) Anyway, once I got a call back (and was handed off to a "manager") they were VERY helpful and...

    Quality of Camp Chef Smoke Vault?

    thats a dang good idea. the packing IS kinda sad: 1 (one!) layer of cardboard at the corners, and a band of cardboard around the middle. That's it.

    Quality of Camp Chef Smoke Vault?

    I just bought a 24" Smoke Vault with SS door from a mail order place. When I un-boxed it, and opened the door I noticed a dent on the right front side of the body/frame severe enough to impede the door opening/closing. I called to return it and ordered another. Got the new one today... This...

    I got a call today, had a chance to purchase a whole hog. I took it. now I have to decide how I want it butchered. problem is I have never done this, and I don't know how I want it butchered. I know there's not much point asking: "how should I have it done?" So what I WOULD like is any...
