    Trash can build - HELP!!

    Looks like you have enough parts for a UDS already.     There is much contraversy about galvanize and smoking.  IMHO its so not to use it why do it?  It is obvious you want to do more than cold smoking so I would use the parts that you already have gathered and build something else.

    Buffalo Chicken and Spicy Italian Sausage with lame Q/view

    Looks like the cell phone did the trick, looks good. I know how it is, you start something with all intent on taking pictures then all of sudden it like oh crap, wheres the camera.   The wife is getting better at reminding me.  (deep down I thin she may be poking fun). I am sure they will...

    First time smoker....need a little advice

    Do you have a remote thermometer?   What is the temp of the bird at the thikest part of the thigh?   Did you put anything in the cavity? I think the ribs will be done long before the bird.

    First time smoker....need a little advice

    Looks good.   You may want to alternate your ribs every so often to keep them cooking even.   The top rack is hooter than the ones below.   You can move your therm around to get a good feel of the temps at different places in your smoker.

    Grinding your own seasonings from fresh stuff is always the best. I had the Kutas book before there was Internet (OK, almost) it is a good "guide"  and sheds some insight on a lot of different things. With as many forums and sites dedicated today.   It is very easy to find the same information...

    Class is in session…Summer Break Finals

    Points for having a smokin family! Ya know what they say, a family that smokes together, stays together.   And what the heck when they eventually move on to be on there own they just might take a century's old tradition with them.

    Brawts help needed?

    As it has been said above, Keep the meat as cold as possible, it will grind so much better. I also use a separate stuffer, but that is something you can graduate up to. sometimes i like to cube up or make a very coarse first grind, mix all  the ingredients and let them sit over night.   Mix it...

    question about smoking sausage on a propane smoker??

    I have a homemade vertical, here is a pic of the gas hookup. (Blown up so you can see the gas fee thru the wall of the smoker)  The "bushing" is a 1 1/4 inch sink drain, it has a flat flange on the inside. Here is a pic of the burner. I designed this for easy cleaning/disassemble, so...

    question about smoking sausage on a propane smoker??

    Bratrules, what kind of smoker do you have? The needle valve setup works OK, but you have to be careful that the flame does not blow out.   IMHO it creates a situation that keeps you next to the smoker monitoring temps constantly. I did not like this kind of setup for sausage/jerky so I...

    Smoking Summer Sausage

    I like the electric for sausage.    I think its a little bit more consistent once its heated up.   I did install a needle valve on my setup but did not like the results. In my hybrid I use the electric element that is controlled with a PID controller fro temps below 175, and propane for 175 up...
