    You People

    So I just ordered a kettle pizza, rotisserie, and Santa Maria attachment(s) for my kettle after spending entirely too much time on this forum. I just wanted to thank everyone here for helping me get rid of my money, and in turn my friends and family surely appreciate you all for indirectly...

    Bell Fab smoker owners

    The weight is quite substantial. Mine has a removable handle for moving it and it is still difficult to move if you're going through something soft like grass. You've reminded me of the one things I legitimately would change and that would having four wheels, however, I have a dedicated spot for...

    Bell Fab smoker owners

    I love my smoker from Craig. I didnt get crazy with customizing other than I had him set it up so it had two rods that run the length of the smoker for hanging sausage. I'd probably prefer the door of the FB be on the end rather than on the side but that's just nitpicking. My rig is built like a...

    Brisket on MES 30 time

    I wrap my briskets in BP so it might differ a bit, but once it is probing tender all over and Ive pulled it, I set it on the counter and let it rest til it's gone down from 203-210° to 180°~. Once that happens I wrap it in fresh BP then wrap it with two towels and it goes into a Yeti. It'll stay...

    1st brisket

    Gonna need more info, but for starters I would recommend getting your temps up by 25° at the very least. I usually cook in the 275° range but that's how my rig works best. Brisket is a long cook regardless but it is going to take significantly longer at a temp that low. I also always run a...

    Weber 18!

    Thanks for the kind words, everyone! This baby is gonna get a lot of use for a long time. I honestly wanted/would've preferred a 22 for the capacity, but upon further thinking, it is just me and the wife at home. Plus when we have people over it's always a lot of friends and family, so I'd...

    Weber 18!

    So I've been waiting for a Weber kettle to pop up on Craigslist/FB Marketplace for a few weeks and finally found an 18 very very lightly used for $20. When I went to pick it up, the guy gave me a bag of B&B chunk, looked at me, and said, "I just cant do the charcoal." Anywho, my lady loves...

    Aaron Franklin smokers.

    I think you'd be crazy to think anything other than Aaron Franklin is behind the design of those pits.

    couple of questions about offset smokers

    If you were open to using pellets/dust, I think this could be done pretty easily. However, you're not. So maybe you could get a small coalbed going(with charcoal) and then just add slivers of wood from splits? Seems like a major P.I.T.A. but I think in theory it could work, though I've never...

    Re Wood Prices

    The last kid I dealt with brought me some very nice Oak and helped me rank the cord for $200 bucks here in PA. The prices around here seem to be anywhere between $180-$300, depending on any number of factors. Green wood vs seasoned, delivery vs pick up, etc. The PA DCNR will allow you to cut a...

    Charcuterie Cold Smoker - is this stupid?

    Obviously if you're happy with your setup and the results it produces, stick with it! If you wanted the temps to be even lower, you could convert your pellets into dust and this would provide you with smoke at a lower temperature. The caveat being you would need a pellet tray, rather than the...

    New Chargriller Gravity Fed Grill

    The auto fed offset is a neat idea to consider. The mechanical side, in my opinion, can no doubt be done. The first thing I think of when I ponder this topic is about the wood itself. Unlike charcoal or pellets, one piece of wood from my stash is never identical to the next. Maybe it would work...

    First smoke on the BellFab

    Thanks and congrats to you as well, sir! I have a brisket and a package of spare ribs in the freezer that will get on in the coming weeks. I still haven't gotten to use the bars Craig fabricated for me to hang sausage from, which was my only customization to the smoker, but that'll also be...

    First smoke on the BellFab

    Thanks for the replies, gents! I really love this Bell Fab rig. I'm surprised they aren't more popular around here for the price.

    First smoke on the BellFab

    Finally have been able to get the BellFab out of my garage now that the snow is finally gone and the ground dry enough to move it across my yard. I've done some chicken and jerky in it but this was my first extended cook. Took about 9 hours to do this shoulder and I absolutely loved every minute...

    Give this jerky a shot!

    I've been making this stuff for several years and, in my opinion, it is the best jerky I have ever tasted. I like to smoke mine for 2 hours before I put it in the dehydrator but it is still excellent without any smoke flavor. Just made 7lbs worth this week and still have some big muscle groups...

    Oklahoma Joe reverse flow best smoker for the money?

    If 1200 is your limit, get ahold of Craig Bell at BellFab and he will make you a smoker that will make you drop your jaw for how solid it is for the price.
