    Overnight 1st brisket smoke with pics!

    That brisket turned out awesome! How it slices would be the least of my worries. I have a packer brisket in the freezer right now that cost $70.00. I'm nervous to even give it a go! I have to wait until Spring as it is -18 out right now and no amount of charcoal in the world will get me through...

    testing a thermometer

    No, altitude should not affect the freezing point. Theoretically it can, but not at pressure changes we are likely to experience with different elevations. Contaminants (minerals or sugars) in the water will have an  affect. For best accuracy, use distilled water and ice made from distilled...

    Any issues with Racoons on overnight smokes? lol

    Do you think I'm being overly paranoid? lol I mean it just seems natural to me that a racoon would not hesitate to toss over a WSM to get to the juicy treasures inside! Especially, if there were no humans around during the night.

    wsm ideas

    Power, I thought things were pricey here in Canada compared to the US, but you folks have it much worse! The 18.5 WSM goes for $340 to $360 here in the big box retailers. I found mine at Home Depot a few weeks ago with a sign above it that read $170!!! Brand new. They only had the one. When I...

    Welcome!

    Hey All! Just noticed this group today! I've been hanging around the forums since I started looking for info on building smokers back in the Spring of 2014. I'm a Refrigeration and HVAC mechanic by trade and had an old 125 # refrigerant cylinder that I wanted to build into a reverse flow...

    Brisket

    Definitely a butcher shop item up here! Never seen one in any grocery store! My wife picked up a 12 pound Packer cut just before Christmas at Dave's Butcher Shop in Orangeville ( just north of Toronto).

    Any issues with Racoons on overnight smokes? lol

    Wow! Never even thought about bears! We have a lot of Mink in the yard... so salmon smoking overnight might draw them in. Skunks don't seem to be an issue either but those masked marauders of the night concern me! They are bold and have tossed our other composting bins down the stairs to pop...

    Any issues with Racoons on overnight smokes? lol

    I used my RF smoker a few times last summer, but always while I was tending it. I recently got a 18.5" WSM and keep reading about how you can set them for long overnight cooks. I have never seen this topic on here anywhere, but has anyone ever had racoons or other invaders of your smoker while...

    1st build, few questions

    I found that I never use the stack damper to control heat. I leave it open 100% during the cook and control temperature with the dampers on the FB. I do have the lid on the CC sealed with a gasket. I did have to increase the size of my FB coal basket and I'm happy with the operation and...
