Do you have any plates or baffles between the two stacks coming out of the firebox and the grates or is it just direct heat straight up the tubes? (besides the dampers, that is).
Have you considered building a UDS or Ugly Drum Smoker? They're easy to build, easy to use, you can build one for around $100.00 and you can smoke more in one at one time than in any of those Brinkmanns you posted. And on the plus side, you can get 14-16 hours smokes on a drum that a charcoal...
I saw that picture when you first posted it Alex. That's a great setup.
I've had 2 people promise me whole apple trees and I'm hoping to find someone down in pecan country that might want to swap some apple for pecan.
Last Spring I cut down 21 maples, so I have plenty of that and I burn mostly oak up at our lake place for campfire cooking so I brought some of that home too. One neighbor has a mulberry tree that overhangs my lot and it trashed the place with berries this year, so I trimmed the limbs back to...
Just last week I cut a loin in two and brined the halves over night. I smoked them at 225º -250º until they hit 140º. I foiled them and let them sit until they cooled, then sliced them into chops to freeze and either pan fry or grill later. They didn't last very long, they're all gone now.
You can take all the cell phones you want to our deer camp. There ain't a tower around for miles and no one's ever got a signal out there. You could maybe play games on it though.
I sure do. I'm going to make several fatties using turkey sausage seasoned with a little more sage and poultry seasoning and I'm going to whip up a batch of stuffing made with bread cubes, sage, poultry seasoning and chopped onions, apples, and cranberries and moisten it with some chicken...
I never thought about using sawdust until just recently I saw the YouTube video of a guy putting cheese on the warming rack of his gas grill then partially filling a tin can with sawdust and sticking a hot soldering iron in the can under the cheese. I'm thinking about giving that a try.
I think...
Cool! I've been wonderin' about that myself. I just moved my drum up onto my deck on a layer of patio pavers for the Winter so I can just open my slider and check/fill/empty it. But by doing so, I've taken it from the shelter from beside my shed and raised it up about 3 feet higher into the...

From what I hear it's a pretty good smoker and folks that have it like it.
I'm pretty sure that the lids he's brought me so far are have been set out to the street as trash. The first one has so much dirt caked on it that it looks like it was buried in mud and the secone one has the wood gone from it's handles and the vent is dented and needs some hammerin' to get it...
Hiya Jeanie, I don't think those Knorr cubes are out yet in my part of the country. A lady on a cooking board I joined told us about them several months ago and though I've looked in about 5 different major stores, I can't find them. What section of the store do you find them in? I've been...
Since I started drizzling a little vegetable oil over the newspaper in the bottom of my chimney before filling it and lighting it, it flames up a lot higher and all the coals seem to get lit in about half the time.
Around here we have what I call "Metal Pickers". They are folks that drive around on the day before trash set out day and also on trash day and scavenge anything that's metal in the junk and turn it in for it's salvage value. I stopped one about a week ago and asked him if he ever saw Weber...
