    WHOLE BRISKET

    I cooked two briskest on a reverse flow smoker.  One was a whole "packer" (point and flat) brisket and the other was just the flat.  When I pulled off the meat at what I thought was 205F they seemed fine.  Texture seemed great.  The flat was perfect but for some reason after resting the whole...

    BBQ is an Art and Science

    I am from southside of Indianapolis and started a barbecue habit with a concrete block smoker assembled without mortar in my back yard.  It is absolute basic "old school" backyard barbecue, but the results were terrific once I mastered it.  I tried cooking a 100+lb whole hog one weekend just to...

    this pile of bricks has produced better meat than a pull-behind reverse flow smoker I bought.

    Over-smoking with my reverse flow

    you need to look at a few factors with the smoke. One is to make sure you have seasoned your reverse flow smoker correctly...a nice long burn, and wipe on some cooking oil of some kind to coat the metal.  that makes a big difference and makes a nice starting point or foundation.  Your fire...

    Comparing Johnson and Lang minimal units for home use

    my johnson smoker is OK.  There is a no refunds, no warranty policy that made me a little nervous.  Because of that policy there was not much of an incentive to really do much "customizing".  If you don't like it, there isn't much of a recourse with a policy like that.  It seems like they sell...

    Cement Block Smoker

    it doesn't look priddy, but I put the fire on the opposite side and the meat on the top opposite the fire.  with aluminum commercial baking sheet lids there is a nice draw of blue smoke.  this cheap, cement block smoker does a very good job of cooking.

    Johnson Custom BBQ Smokers, anyone have one?

    I have a Johnson Smoker reverse flow trailer model.   the no refund no warranty made me a little nervous.  I would recommend using a credit card for assistance in the event your product is not exactly as described at the website.  My unit was different but not enough to significantly change my...

    REVERSE FLOW SMOKER

    The device I purchased has no damper or baffle plates.  Instead it has an artful 6-5/8"  steel pipe (horizontal chimney) for the smoke and heat coming out of the firebox.  Without any kind of modification the device produces very hot fast moving smoke and uneven heat. I have used firebricks to...

    Cement Block Smoker

    My first  endeavor was cooking a whole hog.  It was a learning experience.  Practiced with chickens and tried suckling pigs later with much better results.  I have cooked with charcoal, hickory and cherry.  The last lot of hickory is too old and just makes a horrible smokey, revolting creosote...

    New smoker and creosote

    experienced the same thing.  I think it comes from the quality of the hickory.  if the wood has been seasoned too long and is a little bit dry rotted or otherwise too dense the smoke is obnoxious.  When you add more over dried wood to the fire it gives off the thick white smoke stink.  I am...
