    Salvage Propane Tank Source

     to the SMF Lurch0000 I was curious to see if any Safety Info was posted on the link you provided for a source for used Propane Tanks? I copied and pasted below what I found on their BLT Salvage Tanks website.  About our Salvage Tanks Although we try to rebuild most tanks that come into our...

    Looking for opinions...

    To answer this question, IMO, You get what you pay for. What good is a plasma cutter that is dependent on good clean air supply? Good plasma cutter and insufficient air supply don't work. IMO, depending on how much you are going to use the plasma after you Buy it? An alternative and less...

    Smoker Racks

    Hello Jim, If those racks are true stainless you would be very surprised at how easy they will clean up. I would take a weed burned and blast them evenly with heat until a dull red all over and let cool. After that they should clean up very easily with a 4" wire wheel on a little hand held...

    Smoker Racks

    I agree with gr0uch0, lots of other options out there over risking anything unsafe. I alway like to preseason the inside of my smoker if I haven't used it in a while to make sure all is coated with smoke residue and preheated first before using it. I use 3/16" 309L stainless tig rod to make...

    Business plan - Need opinions

    How about throwing a little BBQ at your place and inviting all the local restaurant owners in your area to come over and have a sample and see what kind of interest that generates?  Then when asked what's the special sauce is? Now you have your foot in the DOOR!

    Business plan - Need opinions

    Brett is spot on, LOTS to consider.   I would definitely do my homework first, supply and demand is a big part of it. Depending on your area? maybe start out with a small portable food cart and or mobile truck or trailer? Start by testing the water before jumping in head first and realizing the...

    Sea salt

    If not already? maybe that should be a warring on the label?  Just like some products print, may contain Peanut Oil for those who are allergic to Peanuts. Gluten Free products is another big one!  Just my .02 cents worth.

    This is why I make my own sausage products

    Cheap or not, I am not much of a fan when it comes to Mystery Meat! Who knows what all went into it and how clean they were in making it?  IMO, Pride in workmanship and quality before quantity went out the window years ago, it's all about the money now a days!

    Smoker design question

    Hello And   to the SMF lud!   That is a new one for me!   The Horseshoe handles and the cattle brand design cutout welded to the top, kind of tell me the other side of the story. IMO, If the price is RIGHT?  You could block off the 3 pipe holes from inside the firebox, then cut yourself a...

    New Smoker Owner

    Hello, as far as a sand blaster? I would find someone who is already set up for Blasting this type size project you have. You will not be happy with the job a smaller cheaper blaster will do for you. It takes a lot of CFM to run a good blaster. They maybe able to prime it right after for you as...

    New Smoker Owner

    Hello ttraiders03    to the SMF ! I would be guessing that your Aviator pic is your new smoker?  IMO, the right way would be to sandblast the whole works and then start over with good primer and paint, and use high temp paint where needed?  Depending on your budget? I like Rustoleum Primer and...

    PLEASE HELP WITH MY BUILD

    Custom Smoker builds unlike store bought smokers sometimes need to be dialed in for what you are trying to accomplish, also adding to the fun of your build. As long as you know and understand what the end product is that you are shooting for, sometimes you need to adjust the methods to your...

    New Grill Mods

    Hello Ken, your progress   thanks for keeping us posted on your WIP !  IMO, the two tone color just adds character to your custom build, detail that bad boy out with a little red and orange fire flames onto the over all flat black and no one would know the difference unless you told it wasn't...
