    Got my smoker back from the painter....need a name.

    I posted some build pictures of my smoker in the "Show off your rig" thread earlier. I don't have a permanent trailer yet so for now I just move it on and off one of my utility trailers with my backhoe loader when I need it. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...9&postcount=46 I had a guy...

    No Foil on this set of ribs

    Those look great. I've got to try some spare ribs sometime. Babybacks and butts are the main things we've been smoking lately.

    Baby back, beans and bread Q-view

    After reading all the threads about smoked this and smoked that, I couldn't wait any longer. I made a 250 gallon wood burner a while back but its off being painted right now http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...9&postcount=46. Finally I decided I'd was ready for some good Q so I brought my...

    Help with hinges...

    I made my own out of some round bar and pipe I had laying around. On the grill itself I heated and bent both sides down around the pipe so they're on permanently. On a smaller grill I built a few years ago I just bent one side so the door could be slid one way and removed. For the firebox I only...

    Different species of hickory trees?

    I have several different species of hickory in my area and scattered across some of my land. Are certain types better to smoke with than others. I'm told scaly bark, water hickory (aka bitterpecan), bitternut, nutmeg, and mockernut (red hickory) are the common species around here but I'm still...

    Mini ABT racks for Cooper

    Looks good. I just made one a couple days ago out of some scrap steel I found around the shop. I was going to make one from scratch but this piece already had the curled edges and stood about the right height. It was a little larger than what I intended but it'll hold 40 if I ever decide to...

    Whole boneless ribeye question.

    Thanks for the advice guys. The main reason I was thinking a longer smoke was to get a little more smoke flavor but going to the wood burner will take care of that I guess. The other cooker I was using didn't have a temp guage. All you could do was set it as slow as possible and let it rip...

    Whole boneless ribeye question.

    I've searched on here and found several threads about smoking a steak but none about doing a whole ribeye. I've done them in the past on a smoker with minimal temp control and they were med. rare in about 3.5 to 4 hours. Now that I've built a large horizontal offset wood burner I'd like to try...

    Show Off Your Rig!

    Being a farmer I've got several different pieces of heavy equipment I can use to load and unload it on my utlity trailers when I need to move it for a cook away from my shop. Thats the reason for the two loops welded on next to the smoke stacks. I'm going to keep my eye out for a dedicated...

    Show Off Your Rig!

    This is my newly built smoker/grill combo. Its a 250 gallon propane tank with slide out charcoal trays for grilling and a smaller tank off a Moline tractor is the firebox for smoking. I seasoned it the other day and did a test cook the next. Smoked two butts for 15 hours, a couple racks of...
