    Texas Pepper Rib Candy on ribs?

    I look forward to your review. I talk to Craig quite often as he is the President of IBCA and I am a Regional director as well as a certified head judge.

    Texas Pepper Rib Candy on ribs?

    The black cherry and the pineapple are big sellers for teams as well. When we wrap we lay three rows across the top of the ribs then wrap. We finish after the wrap with his sauce.

    Texas Pepper Rib Candy on ribs?

    Out of the bottle it is quite warm but once cooked on it is not that bad.

    Texas Pepper Rib Candy on ribs?

    We use the apple cherry habanero original on our ribs in competition. Craig's sauce is really good as well.

    Birthday Brisket advice.

    If you keep the brisket above 140° it will hold almost indefinitely but may suffer a bit. You can do the brisket pretty much the same way as the butts. Let it rest and cool then wrap in plastic wrap bag it in a 4 gallon ziplock bag and ice bath it then reheat Saturday.

    In a jam need suggestions

    We finish ours in pans covered in foil. Once your briskets are rested you can uncover and put back on the cooker in the pan for about 15/30 min to firm up your bark. This is what I do and if works great.

    In a jam need suggestions

    125 folks with turkey breasts so your'e talking about four or five 15 lb briskets? If you can cook all of them at once cook hot say 275°/300° put them on around 4:00 Saturday morning you should be wrapping at around 7:00 or 8:00. This is guessing you wrap in foil or pan.

    22" WSM running too hot

    See if your side door is leaking they are notorious for this. I reshaped mine and after several cooks the seasoning sealed it up. You can also get a SS door from Cajun Bandit. http://www.cajunbandit.com/Weber-Smokey-Mountain-Upgrade-Parts-s/140.htm On a side note I use around 5 chunks in ours...

    Black Silicon Sealer?

    Before I commit to rope gasket or weld is the only option I would prefer to see what he is trying to seal. I build all my cookers and have fixed plenty of the lesser brands. I'll hang around and see if he posts pics. :)

    New ~84" x ~36" reverse flow smoker

    Very nice work I like it. I agree the exhaust height looks excessive I see the chamber is 36" x 84" what size firebox and exhaust are you running?

    First smoker build reverse flow any suggestions????

    Your exhaust is placed on the opposite side of the firebox. You have a series of plates that are gapped to create what ever temps you would like in your cooker. I can go from 5 to 10 degs. Left right to cooking 325 on the firebox side and 250 on the left side just by shifting my plates. I...

    First smoker build reverse flow any suggestions????

    Your choice on that one. My Hybrid cooker is a series of plates that I can lock together to make my reverse flow and it works fine. I have welded dedicated reverse flow plates in and that works as well. Here is a pic of my plates the 1/4" x 1" flat bar is placed half way on the plates edge to...

    Black Silicon Sealer?

    Yeah I know. The silicone he found was 625 deg I would use the lavalock gaskets there instead. He was going to post pics of where he wanted to use it but they aren't up yet. He is not talking about where the cooker mates to the firebox I believe.

    First smoker build reverse flow any suggestions????

    You need to watch that because of the weight you will be applying to your hinges. If someone or you open the door hard you could rip it loose slamming it against the hinge. Just things to think about ahead of time. You could weld a small saddle to the cooker for the weight to nest in then you...

    Black Silicon Sealer?

    Years ago "Permatex Red" was listed as 'Food Safe". When I noticed it no longer listed and was wondering about the black I called and talked to technical support about it. Off the record they pulled the status simply because they no longer wanted the liability. The black is the same make up as...

    You can break the straight arm into an angle like a boomerang to get the height down if need be.

    First smoker build reverse flow any suggestions????

    Once the door is positioned where you want it choose where the weight touches the back of the cooker and your angle from door to cooker body  is predetermined. Start with an empty weight tacked to the arms then add sand to the weight and just tack the end caps on for easy removal.
