Gary, are you trying to tell me that you don't like the look of the sliding air vent that I installed on the FB door when I replaced the pie that was placed higher up the door or are you just having a rant?
Couldn't agree more. I've gone thru the pain of retrofitting the upper air intake to the FB, and lowering and increasing the size of the lower air intake.
Before and after pics of the FB door face...
Been a while since the last update. We took a 5 week holiday around Europe to escape the cold down here in Australia.
I fitted the temp gauges, and did a test run. Happy to report that the air flow is excellent.
Couldn't have been happier with the smoker. It came up to temp in about 40...
Those ribs look amazing. The only way they would look better to me is if I had one of them in my hand. Love the idea of the sweet potato. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Gotta give it a try. Great work as usual.
Wife and kids away, so I gets to play! Did some work on the smoker this weekend. Welded on the FB door, cut out the chimney stack and welded it together. Made latches and fitted them on.
I'm pretty stoked given I had never picked up a welder before starting this project. All you guys out...
Plenum looks great, as will that stainless chimney. Nice work. You're luck you got away with tying the level to the back of your truck. Its something from the Darwin awards. Lol.
They are great looking ribs, which anyone would be very happy with. When judging, we are told to ignore the smoke ring, as its possible to manufacture them with additives. Visually the ribs look appealing, and moist, and the bite test is spot on. great work.
Liked your idea. I've been wanting to do some cold smoking and dry curing. Am down in Melbourne, so while not as warm as Perth, its a similar limitation with regard to the weather. Been considering building a timber smoking enclosure to use during winter but like what you did with the fridge.
All your comments about the price are correct. Its not cheap, but who said that good meat is cheap. Nothing wrong with normal brisket at all. Nothing wrong with eating non marbled steaks either, they just don't taste as good as marbled ones. If you can afford to splash out occasionally...
