    White Arc Smokers

    I have no need for that much. Home Depot wants 20 bucks for a 24"x24". There are a few places I can try to price it from around here. Home Depot is just easy. What is a fair price for a 12x48" piece?

    White Arc Smokers

    Thanks, next time i am at Home Depot I'll price it all out and see how easy it is to work with. This unit is 12x12x12. All this will be moot if I can't find a drum. It's been a hassle so far, but I am looking forward to the build.

    Help me get the 1st steps in the right order

    Do you think that you might do all that fab work, make a dynamite grill, and at some point in the future regret you didn't do it with 2 55 gallon drums?  You know what you're doing if you are going to attempt something like this, this is beyond my skill level, but it does seem like a lot of...

    newbie

    I've never head of that brand before.  On a charcoal smoker, if you have air leaks, I'd expect you'd be getting too much heat.  Welcome to the forums.

    hello all

    Hello, Welcome to the forum.  Read this thread about brisket.  I've yet to make one completely to my liking, but I plan on putting some of the tips in this thread to practice when I find a decent brisket to cook.  All the ones I've seen recently have miserable highly tapered flats.  ...

    Fresh Caught Trout (with Deerburgers on the side)

    That's one fantastic meal. I love the skin too, but I can never seem to get all the scales off, so I filet them also.  My son's not old enough to bring me any trout, yet.  I hope he ends up being as considerate as yours.  So, I am stuck with the farmed stuff from Costco.

    Tri Tip...Reverse Seared...& QView

    That looks great.  I usually smoke mine at 180, as well, until they reach 125, there isn't much carry over temperature then.  After the grill heats up, I sear them really hot on the TEC.  I tried the same technique with a hangar steak and I like the tri-tip better(at least this way).  I'll be...

    Black Olive Pellet Smoker

    It says it can do 40 hours on 11lbs of pellets(the hopper size).  That sounds pretty good.

    White Arc Smokers

    What do you guys thing of this firebox?  Expanded metal seems to be kind of pricey to begin with, and I don't have a welder.  It also comes with an ash catcher. Looks like it doesn't come with a tool for lifting the basket.  Is this just a waste of money?  It's 50 bucks plus shipping.

    UDS Burn out

    I updated my location.  I live in Orange County, CA, Just outside of LA County.  My city is a real pain in the butt on somethings.  I tried calling the fire authority, but they didn't respond and I didn't want to leave any identifying information.   I found this info - Some excerpts.  It...

    UDS Burn out

    I am a little worried about this also.  If I burn a whole pallet or two through this, is the fire department going to come running?  I have a pretty big lot, 13k sq ft, but most of it's grass and it's a little crispy right now.  The only concreted areas are in plain view.  Also, a gigantic...

    Craigslist is evil!!!

    You just made me check Craigslist.  I never see anything that good.  I usually see people trying to hock used stuff for what they bought it for and people posting ads for retail stores.

    mes 30 and my amazen tray

    Last time I ran at 275, after taking it out of storage and cleaning it, it hit over 300, It is true, most say no waterpan.. Keep it in place but don't add water. My tube ran well with water, however. You may want to contact the owner of A-maze-n. He is supposedly very friendly and helpful.

    mes 30 and my amazen tray

    What is the weather like? Wind? Can you make a wind break? I have had to do that in bad weather with my old MES, even in CA. Some people use fiberglass blankets, but that worries me a bit. Fiberglass is almost as bad as asbestos. Before it was lost, I used to use the box it came in.

    mes 30 and my amazen tray

    My tube stays lit, with no problems, I've read the tube works better in the MES, but tons of people get the 5x8 working.  I didn't try cooking at 275, but if the MS says 250, it might be at 280.  Did you confirm the temps with a probe?

    I don't see why not.  Post some pics of your first cook.
