Just picked up a Classic II from Home Depot for $599 on clearance. Going to give my old Vision a break for a while.

$600 as is. Older 2011 Yoder needs control board. Screen lights up, temp,etc.. Hopper, igniter and fans do not work. Just installed a new ceramic igniter and resealed the firebox. Needs a little love and paint or use as is. Basic Board is $199 or go for the new update Wifi setup for $465. Good...

Nice Florida day to fire up the stick and toss a brisket and pork butt on. Will update as the day goes on.

After heavy use over the summer did a fall clean up, pressure wash, grills cleaned, stick cleaned. Everything pulled from drawers / storage cleaned and put away. Ready for a heavy Thanksgiving weekend.

Finally had to replace the TV after the last lighting storm. Has take 3 hits over the years and each time took out the HDMI port it was plugged into. But lasted just short of 6 years which was great.

So I borrowed a meat grinder from a buddy on mine and somewhere along the way he lost the feed tray. It was a first gen Cabala's grinder and had no luck finding a replacement that would fit. I bought a heavy duty Aluminium pan and had 2 1/4" aluminium tube in stock. The tube had to be turned...

Since I have a ton of live oak on 3 different brush piles I decided to made some charcoal. Using a 55 gal drum and the indirect method with scrap brush as a fuel source; first try did not turn out too bad. Need to modify method and insulate the drum a bit more. Ended up filling 2 1/2 large RO...

Have the brisket on and the Babybacks will join it later today. Using my new smoke for the first time, seems to be nice.  Should of bought the longer leads. 

Looks like a good day to fire the smoker up for some ribs.

Have been wanting to do some rework on my smoker for awhile. Really needed a second grill for cooking and with the side firebox setup it really took up some space. So I found a neat ready made box out of ¼” plate that needed just a little modification. Connected it to the smoker with 3 sections...

Did a small rib roast that had been sitting in the freezer, just a 2 rib one for the wife and I. Covered with olive oil, cracked pepper, everglades seasoning, sea salt. Smoked it at 230 or so for about 3 1/2 hours and pulled it at 125 and let it set under foil for about 45 min. Tossed in a...

Well this is my first batch of jerky, making it out of some venison with High Country packs. Going at 120 for about 1 ½ then bump up to about 140 or so depending on how it goes. Cut it up yesterday and let it sit in the frig overnight. Using oak as heat and will toss in some hickory a bit later...

Just did a quick grill of some Bone-In skinless chicken thighs and they turned out fantastic. Usually do an overnight marinade of some sort and today just took them out of the package and tossed on the grill, Royal Oak with Hickory smoke chunks. Seasoned them with a new product I picked up in...

12 lb bird in at 10:00, brown sugar and butter injected with a nice rub under the skin. Cooking about 230-240..with oak firewood and hickory smoke chunks. Going to mist with apple juice and Jack Daniels.  

Do my first real smoke with the smoker in it’s new home. Prepared a couple pork butts, couple of flat cut briskets and 3 slabs of baby backs. The butts and briskets went on at 8:00 with the ribs going on later. It is nice to be under cover while smoking..:)
