    Baffle Spacing Question.

    Too much space is better than not enough but looks like the opening on the firebox will be too small.

    Done. for now I just bought a regulator with needle valves and 2 burner hoses to hook to a tank when I'm using it but one of these days I'll run hard steel lines and make a tank carrier on the tongue.

    Not burning as good as I would like.

    ^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^ looking at the pic it looks like your hickory splits are still pretty fat. if you want to keep them burning good and keep a small fire to keep the temps low id try splitting them down to 2-3 fingers wide

    Not burning as good as I would like.

    also just a thought from a guy with a barn full of wood i seasoned for 1.5 years out of the weather, do you know that that hickory you just got is fully seasoned? how long has it been sitting? and do you have any way to keep it really dry?  is it possible that the height of the grate and the...

    I bought the pipe to put in the drains with the ball valves I've got and bought a piece of rod so I can make an exhaust damper to keep water out of the stack. But I couldn't do work. I had the urge to cook so I did that instead.

    cajun turkey

    I'm really not sure. The package had all kinds of info but it didn't have a weight, and it's been in the freezer for a long time so I forget. Im guessing about 12 pounds.

    cajun turkey

    At 172 at the thigh and 162 at the breast I moved it up to the top rack to crisp a bit. I pulled it at 167 breast and 176 at the thigh. It's wrapped in foil and towels in the cooler till dinner time. I started off at 300 for 45 minutes and then kept it between 250 and 275 the rest of the...

    mojo pork loin.

    Our neighbors birthday was the other day and she requested cuban sandwiches. The wife bought a loin instead of a shoulder to make the roast pork with and that just wouldn't do so she went back to the store and I ended up with another piece of meat to cook today. I marinated it overnight in...

    Venison/cuban sandwich.

    My wife isn't too crazy about buck meat so I've had to be creative so it doesn't go to waste. Today I decided to try my first fatty. I used the pan sausage I got from the deer processer. Layered with the cuban style roast pork we made cuban sandwiches with the other day. Put a layer of salami...

    Took the boys from church camping again. I did 20 pounds of leg quarters. They were amazing. Nice bite through skin. I cooked them at 325 and did 2 pans of beans on the top rack which was great. With the main grate that hot I had the pans all the way to the exaust side and tested with the...
