    Fire pit grate

    Dave is totally correct about making sure you can even have a fire before you go. There are a lot of places this time of year that will not allow an open flame. If you are OK in that regards there are a lot of ways to do it. Most times we build up a big bed of cools while we are prepping to cook...

    buying wood chips

    You might try Craigslist. I have gotten a lot of free wood from people who just want it hauled off. Just be careful of what kind you are getting and make sure it's clean like MarkBeer said. I now have gotten Oak, Pecan, and Cherry wood that way. Looking for some Apple and Peach as well.

    Trying new things

    You might start with the modifications recommended for the Brinkman to make it a better smoker if you have not already done so. Jeff has a good tutorial at http://www.smoking-meat.com/modify-brinkmann-ecb-smoker or you can search Google and you will find several ways. It might be a good...

    Advice Needed

    Thanks everyone for all of the advice! We are currently trying to find out if we can even get permssion to do something like this. I know it sounds crazy, but we are being told that due to the current budget sequestration, it may not be possible. I didn't understand it if we were doing...

    Whats your favorite BBQ sauce?

    If you like sweeter sauce and want to use it like a mop, you might try original Head Country. The only thin I don't like about it is that it is SO thin so it might be what you are looking for

    Advice Needed

    We had thought about doing pulled pork, but being new to this, I'm not sure we have enough smokers which is why we were thingking about grilling. Since we are still early in the planning stages though, we are looking for someone with a larger enough smoker to help us out and then offer burgers...

    What is this "Fatty" you speak of? Q-view

    Nicely done! It's been a couple of weeks since I smoked my last ones.....thinking it's time for a couple more!

    Ummm...my basket is too big....

    Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I think the 24" is from the level of the charcoal grate (the bottom of your basket) and not from the top of the basket.  In other words, if the legs on your grate/basket are 3 inches and you add 24 inches to that, then you come up with 27 inches thus the...

    Hello from Nebraska

    I had the same problem with mine, but after reading several of the threads here, I began making some mods to mine and it has really began to pay off. Have you thought about a UDS? I just got a drum and will be building mine soon. Everyone says they are awesome and really stable so I am going...

    My first fatty w/ qview

    Thanks KathrynN! I am new to all of this and these fatties are the perfect thing to smoke while I get my smoker fined tuned enough to take on some more expensive cuts of meat. Besides experimenting with different "stuffings" is half the fun.

    UDS hardware

    This may have been brought up in another post, but when buying the mounting nuts,washers, bolts for a uds, can you just get the normal hardware, or should you get stainless steel? I'm trying to build this on a budget, but don't want to make the family sick either.

    DWrek's UDS Build

    Looks great! I am getting ready to build one myself and have one question. I have heard that if you have the ball valve intake to high, it won't draw right. Have you experienced any of that? I only ask because I was thinking about doing something similar.
