    Sand or Water?

    They sell them at your hardware store. If you get one, spend some time before hand custom fitting it and making sure access door and vents are accessible. They work well. I haven;t had to use one since moving down here though.

    My Wife Confesses: YES!!!

    This reminds me of "when worlds collide" for some reason. It's like all of a sudden your personal oasis is being invaded. On one hand, it'll be nice to be able to eat more smoked meals, on the other hand, you didn't smoke them. lol Well, you know where to tell her to do her homework and reading...

    Sand or Water?

    The problem with wind that I have experienced is that the gusts will get in and force the hot air out of the smoker. As the smoker starts to build back up, the next gust draws hot air hot and on and on. One really needs a wind break to solve that problem in my personal opinion. Now if it is...

    Sand or Water?

    In my personal opinion, sand is ideal and i use it. I use sterile play sand and cover it with clean foil. I haven't used liquids in my water bowl for years. Most of what I smoke is brined or marinated or is fatty and doesn't need the moisture. The sand makes a great heat sink as well. All in...

    ECB and temperature gauge

    Brinkmann actually makes high end gauges believe it or not as replacements. I did a Google for you and one that is rated well with a price below $25 is here http://www.barbecue-smoker-grill.com/smnpittegu.html I have no affiliation with the site and stand to gain nothing. I'm merely offering...

    Rub and Rib ?'s

    I made a platter of ribs for an Xmas party that had plenty of other food as well and about 25 people. the ribs went very quick. If it was me, I'd plan on 6 racks which will give you about 72 individual spare ribs. The rub sounds nice. Mine is similar, I use cinnamon as my special ingredient...

    making 3 pork butts.. need some help!!

    Last time i did that I had severe sugar burns on the meat with stuck foil. If I did that again, I'd go with a mix of water and apple juice just to prevent the sugar from scorching the meat.
