    Hunsaker barrel smoker

    I've had a Hunsaker for a few months now and I love it. You don't need a pit controller because it holds real steady temps. I smoked three butts overnight in it and I felt comfortable enough to go to sleep while it cooked. I'd say that the pros are the lid hinge, portability, steady temps, and...

    New smoker

    Congrats, I am a huge fan of drum cooking. I was looking at the OKJ at Walmart and it looked like their display models came with the defect mentioned in the video below. I've heard that if this is the case with yours you can call OKJ and they will send the right part to fix it for free. Just an FYI.

    WSM Hanging Racks

    You can get a stainless steel hanging rack for the WSM from Hunsaker Smokers. It is $50 and they usually offer free shipping. I have the same design in my drum and it has a ton of capacity. I believe you can get over 20 half chickens in the thing.

    Barrel House Cooker

    From what I have read the BHC makers basically stole the design from Pit Barrel Cooker. BHC lost the suit and now have to pay royalties to PBC. The PBC is veteran owned and has a strong following. I believe some people would avoid the BHC if they knew the backstory. With that being said, I did...

    rib problems on uds

    I would respectfully disagree. Cooking on a drum at 275-300 can get them done in around three hours. I've found that leaving ribs wrapped for more than an hour turns them to mush, but I've always cooked hotter than 225. Here's a recipe from Malcom Reed which has about a three hour timeline for...

    rib problems on uds

    I'd suggest wrapping them in foil to increase the tenderness. I run my drum between 275 and 300. I hang for about two hours then wrap with a little liquid in the foil and put them meat side down on the grate for 45-60 minutes. Then out of the foil and sauced for about 15 minute for the sauce to set.

    Congrats, I hope it serves you well. Walmart has started marking down the smaller version. They are already down to $185 in my area. https://brickseek.com/p/oklahoma-joe-s-bronco-drum-smoker/6732282

    Novice need advice on first pellet smoker purchase

    I've been wondering about the merits of PID controllers versus normal controllers. As well as any units that offer both. Anyone have thoughts on this?

    My first Tri-tip

    Tri tip tacos are a fairly cheap way to feed a crowd some really good eats.

    Pellets instead of wood chunks

    Depending on the set up those little boogers will burn up too fast and/or catch fire. I wouldn't advise doing it, but that is just my opinion.

    I am from West Texas too and there are laws here. Pretty sure you can't just fire up a cooker, run 70 mph out to the oil field, and start serving food. I have a feeling you will be overwhelmed when you realize how involved the process actually is.

    It is clear that looks are important to you and you are partial to the OKJ. The Bronco Pro hasn't been released yet so it can't be called a bad smoker. However, it is a mass produced product and the other smokers from OKJ often require mods to make them operate at their higher potential. I...

    It would come painted in whichever color you choose, you wouldn't be painting it. I understand the price issue, but it is only $100 more than the Bronco Pro. The parts are stainless steel and the firebasket is heavy duty. I would certainly expect it to last longer than an OKJ. For $300 or less I...

    What brands should I stay away from? What should I consider?

    I bought my Vision Grill at a discount because it was a display model. During its time as a display model one of the side trays was broken. I called Vision and they sent me a replacement free of charge.

    Interesting

    Take what you see on those shows with a grain of salt. I like a more defined bark so I wait until way later to wrap, if I wrap at all. I am not competing though.

    I'd still go with the Hunsaker due to the stainless steel parts. Although it isn't on their website you can choose Hemi orange. Chevy orange, or any of these high temp engine paints. https://www.eastwood.com/paints/hi-temp-engine-paints/engine-paints.html

    I thought the small version looked kinda cool and the price was good. However, the $700 price tag plus shipping seems a little steep. I bought a Hunsaker with a hanging rack for $850 and free shipping. Given the option I would still get the Hunsaker over this cooker.

    Researching pork belly to bacon

    I also wanted to start making my own bacon so last week I started this recipe. I smoked it yesterday. I chose to use my Pit Boss since it could hold lower temps, but the lowest it got was 175. http://playingwithfireandsmoke.blogspot.com/2002/10/lynnes-breakfast-bacon.html
