    Horizontal drum build

    It's time to build a bigger horizontal SFB pit and put it on wheels. A 150-200 gallon propane tank would be ideal, but they are hard to come by out here, cheaply anyway. So my next idea is a double barrel drum smoker. Not a top and bottom type, rather cut one end out of each barrel, weld them...

    Chicken quarters

    It was too nice of a day yesterday NOT to smoke, so I decided to do a small run of chicken quarters for supper. I tried a lesser brand I have never used before, and boy I won't ever make that mistake again. LOTS of fat, found some pin feathers, a few nasties around the back section. Tyson or...

    Pulled Pork Home Run now with video q-view

    Chicken test, with lollipops and a Q-view

    Put together a new glaze and decided to do a test run today. Took 12 thighs, 6 just trimmed, 6 pull the skin, scrape the fat and re-skin. Not a lot of difference in the outcome. Also tried Lollipops for the first time. Everything came out great, nice sweet in the front door with a little kick on...

    UDS and wood?

    I love my wood. I started and learn't myself on a cheap SFB burning only wood. I am currently in the design phase for a small trailer mounted SFB type for comps. Triple sink+hand wash station, fresh and grey water tanks, hot water heater, hopefully everything to make it Ca. Health dept approved...

    Wild Wild West III Lake Elsinore

    I just wanted to stop in and thank Abel for inviting me to come assist in the Judges tent. It was an awesome and educational experience both both my wife and I. The KCBS reps and Judges were very informative and I got a feel for what Judges look for, what turn in boxes should look like, the...

    Pre Christmas pork smoke

    Have family in for the Holidays, looking at possible rain Sun, Mon, Wed, and Thurs. so I though we better get some smoke in the air. Started out with a 4lb. pork shoulder, added a rack of St. Louis style spare ribs, might throw on some chicken thighs a little later. As usual, using my own...

    Chicken with my first Q-view

    I recently picked up a half cord or Orange wood, and seeing as how I will be using it to smoke my first ever turkey for Christmas, I thought I better do a test run with it to see how it acts. A couple nights ago I burned a few splits in the fire pit to "test for heat and smoke content". Alright...

    Cutting BBQ wood with a chainsaw

    Luckily all the wood I have used was small enough to cut with an electric miter saw. As posted in another thread here in the "Wood for smoking" section I mentioned I own a small engine repair shop and I never even though about bar oil being a no-no on BBQ wood. I thought this would be a good...

    My ummm, short intro
