    A little outdoor storage space for smoker gear

    Added a few touches. Now just need to get to my next smoke and see what else will help

    A little outdoor storage space for smoker gear

    I like that! Very clean. I keep a smaller amount of chunks on hand though, maybe a couple weeks worth. The rest stay in log form and I cut off what I think I will need for the short term.

    A little outdoor storage space for smoker gear

    I'm trying to identify an organizer to keep my different wood chunks separated. For me, as woods dry and the bark falls off, they sometimes are harder to discern the difference. I'm trying to decide between little mesh bags that can hold a half dozen chunks each of oak, hickory, cherry, apple...

    Webered Meatloaf

    Mmmm. Thanks for reminding me I haven't done a meatloaf in the Weber in quite awhile! That looks delicious!

    A little outdoor storage space for smoker gear

    I make too many trips in and out of the house when smoking stuff so shopped around for a small outdoor cabinet. I liked this at Lowes (and Home Depot) and bought it today when I saw it had gone on sale for $109. Assembly was easy and it looks water-resistant and sturdy enough for my purposes...

    First Chuck Roast... Fail :(

    It doesn't look like it had much fat inside it. Maybe you got a lean one? Cook next one lower and slower. When I get beef that doiesn't wind up the way I want I sometimes chop it up and make chili. It always makes a great pot of chili.

    Wood inside WSM

    What do you guys about about the amount of smoke from the significantly larger amount of wood?

    Metal scraps in Kingsford common?

    They don't look like staples - these are thinner, like something from an electrical assembly

    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

    Maybe put a pan of water or sand on the lowest grate to force air/heat to flow differently and remove or relocate that plate. It seems a draft or combustion issue to me. Coals look hot enough though.

    Metal scraps in Kingsford common?

    I don't like it. Using any reclaimed wood seems sketchy to me - and obviously I hope they never, ever use pallets. Whatever it is, it's non-ferrous and I struggle to think of a wood source that would have copper components that would be safe. I might run a few cooks and then filter my ash and...

    Metal scraps in Kingsford common?

    Noticed these pieces of metal (copper?) sticking out of a briquette from a fresh bag of Kingsford. Also seen in another briquette but wasn't going to inspect each one. Looks like thin strips of copper or s0mething that color. Makes me wonder what else Kingsford may allow into our cooking fuel?

    New Dyna-Glo vertical offset smoker

    I didn't see this when I first read your message, and I kept thinking it seems like you don't have enough draft. So maybe you blocked off your airflow somehow? Make sure that smoke stack is wide open. Having to blow air in the side sure seems like you aren't getting much draft.

    What to do with a broken MES

    Do you want a project? If so you can try the above diy controller retrofit or you could mount a propane burner unit underneath in some kind of burner cage. But if you are ready to move on to another smoker, and you don't want to start a junky collection of smokers/grills, scrap that thing...

    How to get turkey breast to sit upright? Wants to flop over

    I applied a rub and injection to my bone-in turkey beast and realized it isn't going to sit upright. I could cut the backbone out and sit it butterfly style with the breast halves out flat but that isn't the presentation I wanted. Any tips to get the breast to sit upright?

    Such a thing as a Texas BBQ guided tour?

    I've done considerable searching the past few days and I found nothing like a multi-day mutli-stop Texas BBQ type tour. I just assumed Texas bbq was a big enough cultural attraction that some tour company offered it. If I lived in Texas or had more knowledge of the attractions I would put more...
