I've been using my bullet style smokers far more often than my offsets the past several years. Like you, it's not typical for me to cook for more than two. This year and last year I never cooked for more than two. Effects of COVID-19 on gatherings and travel, and the numerous (not COVID-19...
Merry Christmas to all y'all!
We're forecast to have a high temperature of 81°F tomorrow here in San Antonio Texas. Not a record, but close to the record. January through November were all average cooler months here vs 2020, but December this year is significantly warmer than 2020.
Welcome from San Antonio Texas!
Can you post some photos to better explain and illustrate what your asking about with your cooker?
Without those, my general answer is no if I'm understanding properly, as my original horizontal offset smoker was a Bar-B-Chef. However my general philosophy...
I have a FireBoard 2 and love it. I've used it in my bullet smokers only thus far, not in either of my offsets but I'msure it'd work well in that applicationas well.
I don't have a FireBoard Drive 2 because I manipulate the air intakes. Drive is the control system for forced fan air systems.
I have a Brinkmann Stillwater. IIRC the Cimmaron and Stillwater were same nominal diameter - 16" - and the Stillwater maybe had a slightly longer cook chamber. My Stillwater has the smaller diameter wheels and a port for a log lighter (which I neever used). I'll measure mine and post up the...
Welcome from San Antonio Texas!
I don't have a WSM but I've own two similar design bullet style smokers (BBQ Pro & Fornetto Basso). However I've never tried making my own sausage so I can't help you WRT your desired temperature ramp / soak process but like you I bet the control system you've...
Welcome from San Antonio Texas!
I don't have any input on your pit construction just wanted to say the most recent smoker I purchased is a Fornetto Basso 18".
I shopped the RD in Columbus, OH when we lived in Findlay, for large events like family reunions and church BBQ events. It was the only spot I found to easily purchase beef outside skirt steak when I lived in Ohio.
We have a RD in San Antonio, TX where I currently live but like someone else...
There are a lot of different oak species that fall into either red oak vs white oak.
I used a lot of Water Oak, a member of the red oak family, when we lived in SE Louisiana where it was locally abundant.
Here where South Texas meets the Hill Country, I've used some Post Oak, a member of the...
Looks great!
I scroll cut boneless pork loin before brining it, to get good penetration of the brine into the meat. Then I stuff it before rolling back up & tying with butchers' twine. Your approach looks equally effective for brine penetration with a whole lot less effort!
