    DIY Tandoor Oven

    It maxed around 600, I used the end of a knock off brand bag from camping last year, so I’m going to get a fresh bag and see if it gets hotter.

    DIY Tandoor Oven

    I used some stove mortar on the two pots and got some vermiculite for insulation. I bent a can to set the pots above the cement base to let air in/ashes out, without the vermiculite settling at the holes and block the air/ashes. Started a fire with charcoal and some oak to slowly bring the...

    Mixed results w/chuckie burnt ends

    Yeah, I’ve done a bunch of 4lb+ chucks over the past couple years since packer briskets have been hard to find near me, and even with wrapping they take 10+ hours at 275 +/-

    Second Time Boston Butt Bullet Smoker

    I'd like that bark :emoji_crown: I don't think unwrapping is common, so that's likely where your bark thickened.

    I made a rib hanger with the charcoal ring from my WSM18

    I used a tank retainer wire from an old gas grill, I can shore it up more with some wire, but it seems workable. there’s a terra-cotta bowl in the water bowl and the ends of the ring fit nicely.

    Scored an 18" WSM, let the learning begin!

    This was me a few years back, got an wsm18 as a gift. Couldn’t do long smokes with charcoal. Converted it to propane, runs great.

    That gray rubber piece on the right side is for a temp probe.

    I've done a bunch of big 4lb+ chucks over the past few seasons, and they take about 10 hours @275 for pulling.

    DIY Tandoor Oven

    I cleaned everything up and set a place for it. The hole in the large concrete pot is 3/4” and the hole in the tandoor base pot is 1”. I’ll need to determine how much air flow I’ll need next.

    I made a rib hanger with the charcoal ring from my WSM18

    It seems fairly stable, I might be able to use a piece of wire to secure it from tilting

    DIY Tandoor Oven

    I put this in this forum because it’ll be charcoal fired. Got all this for zero, I’ll need a few things to build it. Here are a few links I found for general info: http://www.aakashg.com/tag/diy/...

    Smoking a boneless pork shoulder

    Does a boneless shoulder break apart to pieces as it cooks? Do you need to tie them?

    WSM which size?

    I have an 18, ribs and packers are a little too big so the ends can overcook, a 22 probably has no problem with them.

    Trying cherry wood for spare ribs today

    It’s like everyone says, cherry is mild like apple, versus hickory or oak. I should’ve let them go a little longer at the end, the middle ribs were more firm than I like, but the ends were just right.

    I made a rib hanger with the charcoal ring from my WSM18

    Good idea, I'll look at this. I can come up with a bar and hooks for it.

    I made a rib hanger with the charcoal ring from my WSM18

    The ring is too small, but maybe some type of hook to set it on the lower grate support would be high enough to hang ribs.

    This is after about three hours, now they’re wrapped in foil with some Dr Pepper.
