    Perfect Father's Day Gift

    So I'm having dinner with some friends Friday night and I mention that I just got an iPad issued to me from work.  Apparently, that sparked a whole silent conversation between my wife and her girlfriend because she just bought me a Nook for Father's Day and now felt like it was a wasted gift. ...

    WSM to SFB input...

    I just want a little info from anyone that's traded in a vertical bullet smoker and went to a side firebox smoker.  I'm actually using a Char-broiler double chef, no longer being made, but I learned to work that sucker like a champ.  Stable temps, easy to clean and maintain, 10-12 hours on one...

    thebackyardbbqer.com is gone?

    Does anyone know the owner, or what happened to this website? http://www.thebackyardbbqer.com/index.html   I bookmarked it because it had good uds plans and videos.  I just got access to a drum and want to build my uds in the next couple of weeks but this website is down.  I know there are...

    Faux green egg?

    http://houston.craigslist.org/hsh/1713959262.html This is advertised as a Big Green Egg but I'm pretty sure the real thing only comes in the dimpled green. It looks like the Grill Dome to me. In any case, you can see the crack in the lid. Would that still be covered by a lifetime warranty...

    Kingsford bullet smoker cart

    Has anyone seen this sold in the US? I've only seen it online and available only in the UK. http://www.greenfingers.com/supersto...&pf_id=LS5110D My next mod on my double chef is to make it wheel-mobile so I can keep it in the garage without having to move it in pieces. The work shelf would...

    Cheap, easy door seal

    I love my fatboy, but the door leaked smoke and heat like a sieve. I was considering some other ideas posted, but the fine salesman at a local bbq supply store said I should try the felt from the green egg lid seal. They sold it by the roll. Just cut to the size you need, it's self adhesive, and...

    Cheap, easy charcoal basket

    OK, so I don't have a metal working shop in my garage so I had worked it out with a friend to cut some expanded metal for me to use as a charcoal basket. I went to the local Home Depot and they were out of the smaller size I was looking for. As I was wandering around filling the rest of my...

    Potluck chicken is a hit - Qview

    I went to a small potluck gathering yesterday and since someone ponied up the brisket before I had a chance to claim it, I ended up with the chicken. Boy were they in for a surprise. I found a good brine and rub in "Backyard BBQ" was a hit. I was even surprised at how good it tasted. I brined a...

    First attempt smoking ribs

    I tried uploading photos this morning but ended up with a virus from photobucket and spent the better part of the day cleaning up my computer. Anyway, the bb ribs yesterday came out nicely. I prepped them by rinsing and pulling off the membrane. I then cut the rack into thirds because I wanted...

    Phrogs in League City, TX

    New to smoking, new to the forum. I'm in League City, TX and my wife told me to get a hobby that doesn't involve a boat (cheaper!) and somehow I ended up wanting to smoke meat. Growing up I remember watching my grandfather slaughter hogs and smoking meat in a homemade in-ground smoker. I've...
