    Raspberry Chiffon Pie (Mrs Bear's recipe with pics)

    Looks very similar to a recipe I have. People just can't stay out of them!! The one I have always made were strawberry, although me and the wife did do a blackberry once that was great as well. Thanks for the view!!

    SoFlaQuer's Finishing Sauce (For Pulled Pork)

    I personally am not a fan of Vinegar based BBQ sauce. I prefer tomato based, however this finishing sauce, as well as my BBQ sauce are awesome together. I add it to my PP until I get a good complimentary flavor to the meat. It is enough that even after adding BBQ sauce you can still get just a...

    Reverse flow problems

    Just wanted to say thanks again! I scrounged around here and found a few things that I was able to do that really helped out. I came home from work last week with a stomach virus and missed a couple of days where I just didn't care about it. Now that that is over I am looking back at the SMOKER...

    Rib rub ideas

    I know this is kind of short notice, however I am looking for a rib rub that I can use by itself. No BBQ sauce on these. What I will do is run a few lemons and oranges through my food processor slicer blade. I will then place an alternating layer of orange and lemon slices in the bottom of pyrex...

    Reverse flow problems

    Thanks Dave, Knew I could count on you guys. I did cut the rectangle vents down low, raised the fire grate just barely above it,(just playing with what I could find around here, will do better when I get back to work),also tweaked the flanges around the FB door to try to get a better seal...

    Reverse flow problems

    Thanks SQWIB, I can already tell you that with the bottom vent where it is, it is not really below the fire. It actually comes about halfway up my fire basket. Just playing I inserted a bolt into the bottom of my basket to raise it above the lower vent. It did do better, as well as clamping the...

    Reverse flow problems

    Thanks Dave, I think I can handle that.I was wondering what the best way to do that was. Any specs on how big this needs to be or do I just cut the stack off the chamber and make sure it covers the existing hole, or do I make the hole in the tank a little bigger, change it to square....? I did...

    Reverse flow problems

    The last time I cooked on it I put the fire inside the CC off to one side. The dial on the lid showed 250* all day long. It took about 12-13 hours to do two butts. I don't really remember exactly how long, but from what I have read here it was close to the times that everyone else said that it...

    Careful what you ask

    A man and his wife were having breakfast one morning, and as some women are prone to do, she started asking him questions about what he would if she died. Of course her first question is: "If I were to die would you re-marry?" After some thought the husband replies"Yes, I suppose so" To which...

    Reverse flow problems

    I know that the volume of the exhaust is the most important, but is it possible that even with correct volume the diameter could be too big and allowing the heat out too fast?? If I move the exhaust to be able to go straight down into the CC I will have to put it on the back side so I was...

    Reverse flow problems

    I give up. I cannot get this thing above 175* with RF plate in place. You mentioned getting it to breathe right. If the firebox was even bigger, how much would that help??

    Anybody Here Raise Chickens at Home?

    I too have been wanting to get chickens. I have an older cousin that has some, and he recommended the golden buffs to me. He has a rather large portion of his back yard fenced off, and ran a small dia. cable wire from side to side and laid chicken fence on top to keep out flying predators. He...

    Reverse flow problems

    When I close the top vent and open the bottom vent all the way it will flame up real big, like a fireplace fire. Even at opening the bottom just a little bit and opening the top all the way it seems to draw the smoke good but not heat up. The way it acts I would say that either the opening needs...
