    Citrus in the FL panhandle

    Does anyone have any tips and tricks for growing citrus here? I have two satsumas and a Meyer lemon and they all produced this year. I'm just looking ahead for long term care to ensure their survival.

    My latest 120 gallon RF smoker

    I picked this up from some dude on Facebook for free a couple of months ago and have been purging it ever since. So far I've ran my calculations and made some marks for the door and where the fire box will go. The hinges are not welded yet, just mocked up to check for clearance for the flange...

    Sunday bay backs

    It's been a while since I've posted. Word gets around when you're good at something, so my neighbor if I'd smoke some ribs if he bought them. This is two hours in. Two racks are in foil, one is naked. Almost time to unwrap.

    Meatapalooza

    What better way to spend a Saturday? Aside from offshore fishing. Left to right is 2 racks of pork spares, 1 rack dino beef ribs and 2 racks of beef short ribs. Plus the rib trimmings that'll go into some beans.

    Brisket today

    My buddy in the rv park comes down and asks if I'll do a small brisket for him. I say yes so he shows up with a 17 pounder. Put it in at 0530 with a pan underneath to catch the drippings.

    Duty day butts

    I'm on duty at the barracks so the Marines chipped in and bought some butts and my neighbor asked if I'd cook him some ribs while I was at it.

    First smoke in Florida

    Got the family moved to Florida and received household goods but a lot was damaged. Worst PCS move in 16 years in terms of damage but that's another story. Friends and neighbors are tired of hearing about the smoker and ribs so I decided to show them what all the fuss is about. This thing...

    Sunday brisket

    Got this on about an hour and a half ago. Left it alone for about 20 minutes and came back from the bath house to billowing smoke. Grease fire! Temp was almost 400 but I finally got it back down to 250-275 with minimal damage to the meat.

    Partially cooking a brisket

    I've been volunteered to cook a brisket for an event on Sunday. Meal time is 3PM. Is it acceptable to cook it for a few hours in Saturday and then finish on Sunday? I don't want to stay up all night smoking but I don't want to be rushed for time either.

    Going away brisket

    Well, the folks at my physical therapy department have been so pleased with my BBQ that they asked me to cook for a going away lunch tomorrow. I'm honored they'd ask, but the movers will be here next week and I don't really have time. But how could I say no? Besides, I get to use the big smoker...

    Birthday smoke

    A friend asked to smoke pulled pork for his daughter's birthday, and I get to keep one of the butts. Sounds like a deal to me! Plan was to smoke Friday night and then let rest in the oven until the party. Due to an unforeseen trip to the ER in Tucson for my 3 year old, we didn't get home until...

    First brisket on the new smoker

    Figured it was time to get some beef on the smoker since I've only done pork. Picked up a 17 lber from the commissary. Smallest one they had. Got it rubbed with SPOG, chili powder and cumin. Got it on at 0700 and this is after 3 hours.

    Florida panhandle

    Anybody live in this area? I'm moving to Pensacola in the summer and I'm just curious if that's too late to start a garden. I should be there sometime in June.

    New Years butts

    It's porkapalooza today. Pork is really cheap for some reason ($1.62/lb) but I'm not complaining. Got 4 butts on and will be doing 20 chicken thighs later. We got a little snow last night and it's a brisk 26 degrees right now. Should be interesting keeping the smoker up to temp.

    My first reverse flow build

    Let me start by thanking all who gave me advice on this build. Especially Dave for the calculations and patience. This project started with a 2'x4' piece of 1/4 inch pipe cut in half that was originally used as an open rotisserie. Naturally I decided to turn it into a smoker. After a lot of...

    Ash pan design help

    Hey everyone, I'm working on my RF smoker and was wondering what is an effective way to be able to remove ashes without opening the fire box door, or at least without disturbing the fire. My box is going to be a square design with the FB door at the end. I was thinking about putting a tray on...

    Thanksgiving brisket

    My neighbor approached me and said, "if I buy a brisket and give you half will you cook it for thanksgiving"? Oh alright. 14.66 pounds and just went in the smoker. It's been a while since I've smoked a brisket so wish me luck!

    Sunday baby backs

    You'd think with smoking 5 butts Friday night I'd be ready for a break, but decided to do some baby backs for my lunch next week. Wrong, nothing left! Cooked 2-45 min-30 min and used brown sugar, honey and tiger sauce in the foil. Used mesquite for the heat and peach for the smoke. Is it a...
