They are great units! Low and slow or hot and fast.
I am getting a DB this year. They are actually quite cheap to run and very simple. They need a bit of calibrate with the bottom plates but otherwise set and forget.
Hi Dave, the above links are good to read.
When I put quality of smoke I was referring to TBS and TWS... I guess I should have spelt it out since you're new to this game.
AFAIK stick burners are good at producing TBS.
You would think it's a casing issue. Maybe old and new mixed together or just a different batch?
I think you should try them again with new casing. Good excuse to make more! Lol.
Hi Dave,
Smoke is a matter of taste and smoke quality. It largely depends on personal preference.
Wood can be used for both.
In the UK it is stupid expensive so generally used in small chunks for about 3 hours for smoke (although it will obviously give heat too), then just briquettes or...
I would imagine that smoking without a case would make it a lot stronger. AMNPS I would imagine will give a lot of strong smoke too as it's burning fairly cold.
I would think you could easily use it as a flavouring for beans and other dishes in small proportions.
Hope it works out ok.
I wash mine, burn it out, then run a twisted cup brush on a grinder all around the inside until shiny. Then a final wash and dry out.
I i had somone near to sandblast for $25 I'd probably go with that.
Hi OEJ. It's quite hard to tell from the pics, but the first one looks like it has a blue tinge near the door. What's your feeling? Would you say it's TBS? Just asking out of interest, I only have a UDS.
The smoke ring is just nitric oxides which is a byproduct of fire in simple terms... it produces nitrites. using an AMNPS you might get a bit of a ring but it's the taste that counts. Think of cured meats that are red all the way through before you even show them the fire, that's just nitrites...
Thanks OEJ, I have since learned that it's done ahen when it's done. Yes I saw 203 on the net somewhere and had never done one before so kinda stuck to a guide. Was still good eating but would defi just wait and probe in future. 128077
Wow that looks good!
What was the final IT to pull 210? Did you add any liquid to the pan to finish the chuck or was the pan just in case it fell apart?
I've done a chuck roast and it was good but didn't pull. Nowhere near as good as yours. Think I took it to 203. Was so tasty anyway i...
