    Custom Built Cabinet Smoker

    It's in great shape and can hold quite a bit of meat as I've used it to make pulled pork sandwiches to feed over 200 homeless in Austin. Add your wood or lump charcoal in the lower compartment and use the the propane adaptor and the vents to help regulate the heat. It is 24" wide, 18" deep...

    I’ve decided to get into pickling, and I have a recipe I want to do for okra, cauliflower, green beans, pickles, and more.

    10lb Brisket done in 4 hours?

    I bought a 10lb brisket with Deckle removed from HEB. Started my smoker, cooked it around 225 (sometimes it raised to around 300) and 4 hours in, I decide to check the temp. It's reading 205?? Can't be right, so I tried 3 other thermometers, each reads around 200. I check the meat with my...
