    Western brand lump charcoal

    A buddy brought a bag over for a turkey smoke before Thanksgiving and it went alright for that, but I wanted to try it again before I bragged it up too much. So I picked up two more bags at Atwood's for my smoke yesterday, two 20lb bags for $28. I smoked a 10lb an 8lb brisket and six racks of...

    January B-day smoke, need some reassurance please!

    I love my son, but I'm dreading this, sorry if that makes me a bad person! My boy asked me to smoke for his birthday, he'll be 11, and I couldn't say no. Problem is they boned the forecast, rather than being 54/34, it's going to be 34/17? So I want to make absolutely sure I've got my act...

    20lbs of shoulder, filet mignon, and who knows what else!

    My buddy wanted to do some pulled pork for Monday night football, sure, since I'm going to have it fired up wife said to do some steaks as well, sure! He shows up today with the shoulders, notice the plural! He went to Sam's and brings me two 10lb shoulders! Not quite what I was signing up for...

    You poor blokes from the UK!

    I've been reading many of the UK posts for a while now. But it really didn't hit home with me until my wife had to entertain guests from England. My wife works for Koch Industries (those evil brother's as Democrats call them) Anyway, Koch bought Invista years ago and my wife was charged with...

    GMG Davey Crockett owners ?'s

    So I've realized bigger isn't always better! I love my offset, but fuel consumption is crazy! I smoked a pork shoulder last night, yup, 11lbs of charcoal a bunch of oak and hickory chunks! I'm in no hurry, so I want to chose wisely. But seeing the videos, then seeing it in person, man is it...

    Double reverse flow?

    Don't freak out, I'm bored and just thinking outloud to see why it may, or may not work, throwing things against the wall to see what sticks if you will. So I see RV builds, well that won't work on my BTLE, the stack will be in the way of the three door IMO. So what's so crazy about a double...

    Mama wanted FOB baby backs, a foil convert.

    If you'd have asked me even a day ago I'd have told you not to foil, just no need! Well, never say never! My wife crockpotted a slab of baby backs a few weeks ago, I just couldn't get them done right then, I have health issues with great days and really bad days! To say they were tender is an...

    Slow and low for a drunken chicken?

    For our birthdays my dad has asked me to smoke dinner. The plan is three slabs of baby backs, a drunken chicken and another chicken yet to be determined. I'm figuring 4-5hrs for whole chicken at 225ish temps and the ribs per weight, probably 3-4hrs and no idea on the other chicken yet, open to...

    Commercial fridge build.

    In a nutshell: buddy owns a bar, had a 53x32x70" commercial fridge go out, now he thinks I need to make it into a smoker. At first I was thinking electric elements and using an AMNPS to get the flavor. But then I read on here that some places sell stand alone pellet burners. So, for those of you...

    Choices for making jerky?

    I've been using brisket but with the prices skyrocketing on it "she who must be obeyed" said enough of that! Now, I can pick good steaks, I can find choice hamburger and I can cook it all, but when I get to the beef section and look for something for jerky, I'm like a deer in the headlights...

    Questions on what to buy!

    Hi all, I found this forum after doing a lot of research on smokers after my first failed attempt! On a whim, and no research, I bought a Smok'n pit from Home Depot. I seasoned it, added lava rock and bought gasket material for the cook chamber door. On the 4th I tried to smoke with it, a 7lb...
