    Heavy Smoker - How to Move

    I used 14 inch steel wheels on the firebox side for my 120 gallon compressor tank build. I then used a couple of heavy duty castors from HF on the front. Everything leveled in such a way that the whole thing is tilted towards the drain. Mine moves in and out of the garage with just moderate...

    Baffling Advice Needed

    Depending on the size....but if you choose Red...it gives you a convenient/out of the way place for a water pan.

    How to use offset smoker bbq

    What kind of wood are you using? Is it seasoned/dry? How are you with fire management? You shouldn't be using "fire wood" that you would just throw into any old camp fire and hope for the best. You should be using nice dry cook wood (I use white oak) and be able to have a fire constantly...

    How to use offset smoker bbq

    Yep....since you said you made yours out of all stainless steel...I guess you don't have to worry about rust...so a nice cook of some chicken thighs/legs will give you a good flavor coating at the same time of learning to use your smoker with rather inexpensive meat.

    How to use offset smoker bbq

    Just my two cents.... wbf610 is right. It's a custom build so you're just going to have to have trial runs to figure out the process that your cooker likes to run. When I finished mine, I think I ran probably three test fires. I'd start it out, get it to a temperature I liked, and maintained...

    Adding a split to your fire...how often?

    Thanks! Yeah...I'd like to...but I'm casually waiting to see if anyone wants to buy the ones I have before investing another 80 bucks in therms :)

    Adding a split to your fire...how often?

    https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/greetings-compressor-tank-build.262988/page-7 This post/page shows some decent shots. Seems like my smoker likes it around 250-270. I've tried to run hotter but talk about fuel consumption! I honestly haven't tried to go too much lower. I have a...

    Adding a split to your fire...how often?

    Hi All! Quick question...I've been cooking on my homebuilt offset (120 gallon air compressor tank) for a year now and I'm curious about other folks' experiences. My splits are usually 4 inches long and 1 to 2 inches thick...and I'm adding one around every 20 minutes or so. I always leave the...

    Pork Shoulder: Bone in or Boneless?

    I hear ya about the cost...but here for me boneless costs more than bone in...so it's a wash there. Agree on the fact that pork freezes well...but part of the fun/show is for folks to see the smoker at the festival, etc....

    Pork Shoulder: Bone in or Boneless?

    So I know I'm resurrecting a pretty old thread...but I've been asked to do a large smoke for a church festival. Going to roll 10 or 11 shoulders. Does anyone know if cooking boneless versus bone in will significantly shorten the cooking time? If I'm cooking for family I always prefer bone in...

    Porkpullooza 2018

    Yep...thanks for the heads up...have that part covered....but it's a very good reminder. I got stuck behind the clock one time on a smoke for a family party. No one was horribly upset but after I was an hour late with the main course (pulled pork) I vowed to start plenty early from then on...

    Porkpullooza 2018

    Looks great! I apologize if I missed it in an earlier post...but how long was your cook from place on the grates to pull from them? I have a large butt smoke coming up (similar to yours) and am curious about the time...

    Tel Tru Thermo - TT 300 - 2.5" Stem - 50/550

    I'm looking to sell my two Tel-Tru thermos. They are 9 months old but always housed in my garage. I've only run a handful of cooks with them. I simply made a mistake of buying the 2.5" stem rather than the 4" model. Looking for $35 a piece, or $65 for the pair. I'll pick up ground shipping...
