    Several Questions about "Mod's" to offset Smoker?

    Hey thanks for your comments. I began to clean it up a little more last week on the outside and remove rust to repaint and as I cleaned the paint from the plate above the front handle I saw Brinkmann. What attracted me to the smoker when I saw it up close was the 1/4" metal used for the...

    Several Questions about "Mod's" to offset Smoker?

    A couple of weeks ago I was prowling around for information of different smokers. I ended up talking to member GaryS who asked how much I wanted to spend, etc. He gave me some good advice....."Prowl around on Craig's List, sometimes you can find a good smoker at a good price". Well, I...

    Cooking Times vs Meat Weight

    Yeah, I liked the example given by jokensmokin...it is like an animal sweating to cool off. Great analogy.

    Cooking Times vs Meat Weight

    Okay! Thanks, that makes sense. It is my chemical background. If I can understand the action (what is happening) then the appropriate reaction (if required) is easy to apply.

    Cooking Times vs Meat Weight

    Thanks. I am interested in what causes meat cooking in a smoker to stall? In some articles I've read the meat is removed and wrapped in aluminum foil to continue cooking. What is going on with this issue when smoking meat?

    Cooking Times vs Meat Weight

    Thanks. I did a 8 lbs last week and it finished in 7 hours. Cooked to fast. Ordered a thermometer for oven and meat. I don't trust the thermometer on the cooker anymore.

    Cooking Times vs Meat Weight

    In Jeff's book under Pork Butt he states 1 1/2 hours per pound should give you approximate time to finish the meat adding that the temperature should reach 205 F. If I have a pork butt that weighs 8 pounds it should take around 11-12 hours. Additionally, Jeff states you can place several...

    Smoking w Hasty Bake Oven

    Thanks for the comments. I find that longer times are frustrating also. I fiddle with the fire and wood for smoke the temp goes up and you close down the vents and the temp goes to far down. I tried a 7 lbs pork butt the other day. Should take 10-11 hours. I was done in 7 at 205 F. Meat...
