    The Cutting Board

    Great looking table! I like the butcher block . Another coating option for ya. I used 100% pure Tung Oil on my BB top and cutting boards. Makes a nice durable, food grade finish. Holds up great. I cut the first 3 coats 50% with a citrus solvent for good penetration, then 3 more coats of...

    You can also dump some lit charcoals in your wood pan to help keep the wood smoking.

    Wanna build a PID temp controller.. help?

    I do my turkeys at 300+ for usually under 4hrs for a 15lb bird. Even at 225 a 12lb turkey would be finished in under 7hrs to a 165 internal temp. 18hrs will really dry that bird out. It is an interesting control for $25, but the design is for a burner out in the open. Once you put it on a...

    Wanna build a PID temp controller.. help?

    Scott...I'm kind confused with your ultimate goal of an overnight Turkey. Most turkeys are a shorter cook than ribs. Not usually a overnight low and slow cook. I'm also a little leary when it comes to shutting down and re-starting the gas flame inside a small chamber. Seems a little risky too...

    Building a Smoker

    Hi Scott...sorry I missed this. I like the box outside, easier to add wood/charcoal and control the temp with the air intake vent. I think the SFB is the way to go if your trying to keep charcoal as your primary fuel. Plus you can get the chargriller SFB for $55 at Lowes. You also need to be...

    $6.00 off Kingsford coupon

    I know for sure that Walmart takes it for charcoal. I printed a stack of coupons and leave them in my truck, and will keep going back until they turn me away. Tried it at Stop & Shop today too. The scanner at self checkout did not accept it, but the cashier was happy to come over and override...

    22 pound turkey

    Can you get oven temps in your smoker, 325? A large un-stuffed bird should be ok as long as you can maintain the higher temp, and get it above 140 internal temp within 4 hrs. You can always split or spatchcock, will cook faster.

    Building a Smoker

    I use the heating element to pre-heat the chamber before firing up the coals. Once at my setpoint temp, I start the charcoal using the minion method. As the coals heat up the element backs off to maintain the setpoint, the charcoal takes over as the primary fuel with the heater helping out a...

    Building a Smoker

    I used it in my build, works fine. . You can get a roll of R-13 for like 11 bucks. You'll never get near 800F, no need to spend the $$ on 2300F rated materials for a smoker. I used 2" aluminum angle for the gap between the walls. You should also check out a salvage yard for steel or aluminum...

    Building a Smoker

    Why not just use plain old fiberglass insulation? Good for 800F. Regular pink stuff from HD, just peel off the facing.

    Wood for free...maybe

    Got a bunch of apple and cherry that way. Probably helped that we had one mother of an ice storm last December. Lots of downed trees, still seeing ads for free wood. Keep at it, delete and repost your ad every week to keep it up top. Also keep watching the free section for wood offers. I posted...

    Wood Question

    I wouldn't use pesticides !! Maybe chunk up the wood and toss it in your smoker chamber at 160~170 for a while, should kill any nasties and help dry at the same time .

    $6.00 off Kingsford coupon

    I use Firefox and when you click on print coupon the print setup screen comes up. Where your printer selection is there should be a PDF option. Select PDF and a save box comes up. Here's a screenshot . Then save to print copies later

    $6.00 off Kingsford coupon

    You can save it to a PDF. Instead of selecting your printer during the setup, select PDF instead. Then you can keep a printable copy on your PC . I think MESKC is correct, the term save $6 on "The Other White Meat" means the The "Other White Meat" group is sponsoring the coupon. Nice coupon...
