    jeff's rub and sauce recipes

    Add another person to the sauce fan club! Jeff, I made both the rub and sauce last night. The sauce did not last very long at all! There was only 3 of us but it was gone within minutes. Very good stuff! Griz

    What size exhaust

    I started this thread in the wood forum as I had planned on going the wood route. During the freezer build, I decided that installing a propane burner would be too easy to do. So, I installed it. The burner is a small burner from a table top grill. When I have it set on low, my temps stay a...

    Old freezer and burn barrel combo??

    Originally, I was going to do the wood route, hence the reason why my post is in this particular forum. However, in an effort to better control temps, I elected to install a propane burner. I have the burner on low and my temps are a steady 290 degree's. Obviously, too hot for low and slow...

    Old freezer and burn barrel combo??

    Well, I had an epiphany last night. I had originally contemplated only using the burner in the bottom of the freezer. I was going to line the bottom with additional metal to protect the surrounding area. I decided to use the entire body of the grill, minus the lid. I had it installed in a...

    Old freezer and burn barrel combo??

    Well, I stopped by Lowe's to figure out what, if anything, I needed for this conversion. After much thought, I had a slight leaning towards installing a propane based heater so that I can keep a more even temp. At Lowe's they are clearing out their grills and I hope I stumbled across a good...

    Old freezer and burn barrel combo??

    That's good to know on the magnets. I have small neodymium magnets that I had planned on using to hold the door at various intervals. I may still try it and see how well it works and for how long. Should I punch holes at the bottom of the barrel so that the coals receive fresh air or will...

    free deer meat in waco

    Guys, I live just south of Champaign, Illinois and will easily have 2 deer in a couple of weeks that are free for the taking. I have so much meat right now in my freezer from my elk trip that any deer I take will be donated. If you want to make the trip down then they are yours! Griz

    Old freezer and burn barrel combo??

    Here's what I had in mind. I would have a magnetic cover on the inlet to control the smoke/heat as needed. My initial thoughts are to keep the design to a minimum until I see how well it performs and then modify as needed. The burn barrel would have a cover on it so the only real exit for the...

    New from Illinois!

    Not new to smoking (currently have a Traeger) but want something that will do more and allow me the satisfaction of being built myself. I just posted my idea in the wood smoking category and appreciate all thoughts/input. Thus far, I am very please with the level of participation in this...

    Old freezer and burn barrel combo??

    Thanks for the welcome! I will be elevating the freezer so that the bottom of the freezer is inline with the upper portion of the barrel but less than a foot apart. The more I look the more I like the idea of running a 6 inch pipe between the two. Should allow for more cubic feet of...

    Old freezer and burn barrel combo??

    I have a Traeger grill/smoker and to be honest, not real happy with it. I hear people referring to smoking brisket for 10 hours before it's up to temp. My traeger will have the meat at 190 degree's within just a few hours and that is while on the medium to smoke setting! So, I decided that...
