    Homemade Paint Can Charcoal

    Thought I'd show the process of making a little batch of homemade charcoal. I didn't get any pictures of the beginning, but its pretty easy to explain. Take a paint can (thoroughly cleaned) and fill it full with scraps of wood, then tightly put the lid on. Punch some vent holes in the sides (two...

    Ultra Big Ugly Drum Smoker - UBUDS - starting now.

    I've been smoking with a Char-Griller smoking pro smoker for several years now. I modded it up, and it gets decent performance, the only real downside is having to baby sit the thing. Every hour adding charcoal, fighting with temps, I get tired of messing with it. A few months ago, my dad was...

    Anyone used a wood stove for a firebox?

    So my dad replaced his wood stove in his shop last year with a bigger one, and is getting rid of the older one. He asked if I wanted it, and I turned him down, but now I'm reconsidering... The opening is about 12"x12", and will burn logs up to 30", with a 6" exhaust. He used it to heat the...

    Saturday night wings & bt's - qview

Let those marinate, and I went out to the garden to see how many jalepeno's were ready. Either the...

    Spur of the moment pulled chicken and pork - qview

    Finally had a free afternoon, and did a quick run to the store, and grabbed three chickens and a pork shoulder butt. Didn't get many pictures, since I was scrambling to get some other stuff done. For the chickens, I just did a quick salt and pepper; the pork got a slathering of mustard, and a...

    Concrete smoker - anyone done it?

    Thinking of making a concrete (ferrocement) smoker. Anyone ever made a smoker out of something like this before. Here's what I'm worried about: Is concrete going to be a problem with offgasing/chemicals/etc while cooking? Would ferrocement hold up to the heat (I see some pizza ovens used it...

    Thinking ahead for winter

    I'm currently using a chargrill offset. It doesn't work too bad, but I'm thinking ahead about winter, and colder temperatures and wind. I've got a decent sized garage (If I keep it clean). In one corner is the chimney from the old woodburning stove I had (now gone). I'm not going to use the...

    3-2-1 Ribs with qview

    Thought I'd post my weekend meal. Had some family in town, so I thought I'd use my new char-grill offset smoker finally. Woke up about 5am Saturday and finished putting in the baffle/tuning plate and started smoking 10 pounds of ribs around 6am. Everything was going great, I was suprised how...
