    New member. The smoker I bought is out of my league.

    From BWorks: “Btw I have seen this mentioned quite a bit on the forums. Mostly charcoal then adding some wood chunks. What charcoal are you using?” The site did not allow me to reply, after signing up and supporting the forum I was locked out for the last several weeks… finally got an admin to...

    Lost my dad yesterday

    Losing a parent is never easy, I lost my mom when I was 17, still get misty eyed over 40 years later. May the father of all mercies comfort you at the passing of your father.

    Homage to my Best Friend

    That stinks. John Lee sounds like a great guy, and he might surprise you when passing through the veil to the other side… his gas grilling might be heavenly, and he might shame you! 😉 Lost three people in the last week, all great people so I can relate. Thanks for sharing. RIP , John.

    BigVinnie in Vegas

    Vinnie, A good start is to use the indirect method of cooking with wood chunks. Decent firewood carries a premium price in the desert southwest, and can put the hurt on you, be not dismayed… hint: buying the chunks and making your own chips is a good idea, all you need is a hatchet. I travel...

    Retractable Awnings Hail

    I had a Sunsetter retractable awning (20 footer), and although I did not live in an area that was considered windy, a sudden gust would lift it enough to sound like someone hit the side of the house. One time one of the legs was bent by a gust, you certainly would not want to forget that it was...

    Never dreamed I'd see the day I'd be priced out of fast food

    Just to add, most of the chain restaurants are just not worth eating at, both in price, quality of food, and service…speaking of not necessarily fast food Chili’s, Applebees, etc… Stopped at Famous Dave’s in Vegas.. not sure what the “Texas Brisket” was, but I would have preferred fried spam. I...

    Never dreamed I'd see the day I'd be priced out of fast food

    I travel a lot for work, so most of my eating out is on the company dime, but I have noticed the crazy escalation in price and that informs me when it is on my dime. Flipping burgers was never a job to raise a family on, it was always a great opportunity for a kid to gain experience and...

    BRISKET SOS

    Glad that it worked out for her, and it was a crowd pleaser. Being a veteran of the the war against Stallin’, I do my briskets and butts the day before… or I add a lot of time at the front end. Hungry people with access to knives… things can get dicey.

    New member. The smoker I bought is out of my league.

    Right down to the wood handles, it looks to be the same unit as the first stock picture that you posted. 700 lbs… yeah that would be a workout to move it like you did. Nice unit. https://lyfetyme.com/product/double-lid-smoker/ That smoking chamber is a real plus, and given time and practice...

    Char Broil's aquisition of other companies...a good thing for the consumer?

    Thank you Redicans… You live in a beautiful place, but yeah the costs sometimes shipping to our brothers in Hi and Ak can really bump up the price! Glad to hear that Char Broil was able to get you a reasonably priced solid unit.

    Welcome to the forum, Frankie! I live in the desert southwest, but am a member of the Pipe Club of London, albeit a bit different, we use tobacco in the firebox.😉 Glad to have you here, there is some great advice you will find here, but you already know that!

    Char Broil's aquisition of other companies...a good thing for the consumer?

    In the nineties, I bought a Bandera smoker made by New Braunfels, and it served me well, some time later that Char Broil acquired that company and I was not impressed by a "new model" I saw on a sales floor, the metal was much thinner than my older one. My Bandera still works great, but I gifted...

    Introducing ThermoPro TP19... 1/4 of the Price of a Thermopen

    What kind of warranty does the product carry? If it is on the website I cannot find it, should be on the FAQ page. https://buythermopro.com/

    Hello from Gilbert Arizona

    Gilbert is still a nice town, it is perennially one of the safest cities in nationwide surveys, and the old town flavor in the downtown has been hugely successful. A great place to live, if you live in Maricopa county.

    Tri-Tip for 70 People

    I would go the route of Steven Raichlen...if you can convert the smoker to grill while the Tri-tip rests for a few minutes. I would be kind of reluctant to take a refrigerated meat to smoke, chilling overnight, and grilling it back from being cold. Overall less time working it and less time of...

    Smoking snob

    Early in my marriage, I figured out how to roast a prime rib on a Weber, indirect method... It helped that I worked for a meat company that serviced hotels and restaurants and was a Certified Angus Beef distributor, and all were hand selected by me. Still, if the wife ever orders prime rib...

    Never been to Chicago, but!

    It was better when Costco sold Hebrew National at the Deli counter, but for the price of what they serve with a soda, it is hard to beat.

    In Need of a Good Butcher Shop in Phoenix Area

    Albertson's has had some really good prices lately, and some quality meats. Boneless skinless chicken breasts for .99 cents per pound last week, 10 pound limit for me, 10 pound limit for the wife... and with the just4U app,we had a $7 coupon for meats, so 10 pounds only costed us $2.99... we...
