This is more towards those that have used one or both of these two styles of smokers in a real world catering/concession style environment and which worked better. I am looking at a Lang 84 and an East Texas RK250. Both are very similar in size and build with one major design difference. The...

I ordered a 6x8 AMNS last week. I splurged for the Maverick 732 and 5 pounds of cherry dust. A few days later my package arrived. I opened it up and dug my goodies out but it wasn't 100% correct. I contacted Todd and not only does he ship QUICKLY, but the guy responds to his emails lightening...

OK, upon further research I decided against the Everlast brand of welders. So now I am looking at possibilities of Lincoln, or Miller. I have found a Miller Bobcat 225g welder / generator for under $2k. I know there are a lot of welders, both professionally and home hobbyists, on  this site so...

I have already used the search and read the threads that came up but nothing telling me what a premier member is. I found a link that has payments for 1, 2, and 3 years, and lifetime but it gives no explanation as to what it is to be a premier member. Is this simply a donation thing for the site...

I am looking at adding some toys to my shop and I figured I would start with items I need for my future reverse flow smoker build. I found an everlast plasma that would do what I need but I am not experienced enough to know if this is a good brand. Keep in mind I would be learning with this...

Well, I am getting antsy about my UDS build. I don't have the toys (welders and such) and until recently didn't have the space to work so unfortunately some of my wilder ideas are at the mercy of a local fab shop. 98% of the build I can do but for some of my tweaks it required a little welding...

OK, I just placed my order for the AMNS today to improve my MES 40. I was just thinking afterwards, can you half load with dust and it still work like it's suppose to or do you have to fully load it and then just snuff it when you are done adding smoke?

Well, it has been awhile since I have been here. New house and new job have kept me busy the last few months. We are all settled in at the new house, well about 98% anyways, and I am moving out of the training phase of the new job which will kind of suck because at that point I move from hourly...

Looking to offload both of them for one price. I am not getting the results I like so I am moving to a UDS. The one that is all stainless stopped heating. I figured it for dead and my wife bought a new one. I later learned these things are noturious for a wiring issue that is a pretty simple...

Well, it has been a long smokeless spring and summer since my MES died during a Super Bowl smoke. The streak finally ended after my wife bought me a new 40" MES and I got some free time. My daughters 3rd B-day was the 3rd and we had her party this last Sunday. On the menu was 6 slabs of ribs and...

OK, I have been absent from the smoke world for a while. I went crazy smoking lots of stuff when I got my first MES then it went belly up. I have been smokeless since. That is up until a short time ago. My wife just bought me a new MES and I will be back to smoking soon and posting my Qview...

I made a glaze I want to try out on a small picnic. I wasn't thinking and rubbed it all down with Head Country rub to set overnight. I am now getting ready to throw it in the smoker but I was wondering if I should skip the glaze now or just glazer over the rub? Not sure how that would turn out...

Well I finished off the last of my first fatty attempt and finished it off in pork fat style. My fatty, which was made with regular breakfast sausage, canadian bacon, pineapple, jalapeno, cheese and wrapped in a loving cocoon of bacon was served with sausage gravy and biscuits and eggs fried in...

I smoked a turkey today as a practice run for Thanksgiving so I thought while I am learning new things I just as well give a fattie a go. The bacon weave took some time to master but I got it to look pretty decent. I filled the fattie with toppings of my favorite pizza, canadian bacon...

I have smoked several breasts, either plain smoked or with a little rub, but nothing too involved. This is my first whole bird, brined, then injected with a recipe I found here, thanks travcoman45. I rubbed it down with some Head Country rub (that's pretty damned good stuff!) then into the...

I can't seem to find information on just how many times you want to poke holes in your bird. I am assuming as little as possible but where are the most favorable injection spots to get max flavor with minimum holes? Thanks

It is now rubbed and resting till early morning. I haven't tried brisket in a looooong time because my earlier results were less than stellar but after solving my problems with ribs and turning out a damn good product thanks to what I read here, it is time to give brisket another go. I have read...

As mentioned in a previous thread I normally have done nothing but a little trimming on spares and such before smoking them. This weekend I decided to learn how to cut spares St. Louis style. Well, these old kitchen knives from the 70's just ain't cuttin it no more. I want to get a decent set...

My name is Jack. I am from Kansas and have been a member here for over 4 years but have only been a reader and subscriber to Jeff's newsletter. I have been a griller for years and have wanted to try my hand at smoking for some time now. Well, a couple of years ago I got my first smoker, a...

First off let me start by thanking everyone here. I have been a long time reader of these boards and the newsletter. I have only recently taken smoking to the next level and have gotten really serious about it. I have learned A LOT from you guys. People who have tried my ribs and such over time...
