    Offset airflow tuning + firebox sizing question on co-specced build

    Hi all, About a year ago, I commissioned a traditional offset smoker here in the UK and co-specced much of the design myself. I specified the look, cook chamber volume, and materials (8mm steel throughout), but I left the firebox sizing to the builder, assuming it would be scaled up to match...

    Beginner’s St Louis Ribs on the smoker

    After seasoning my Old Country Brazos offset smoker, I decided my first smoke would be ribs. I picked up two racks of St. Louis style ribs from HEB. After some trimming, I added a 2/3 black pepper, 1/3 coarse kosher salt as my rub, I didn’t weigh just eyed it in an old HEB black pepper bottle...

    I can’t go to Home Depot in the fall.

    Starts to get expensive. It’s nothing fancy…but for how cheap it is 🤷🏻‍♂️. Good starter offset.

    Advice on wood size and placement

    I recently got a dyna-glo offset vertical for Christmas and have been trying to get a few things figured out with it. When I use it I get things going with a chimney of briquettes and then throw a few medium sized splits on top of that. I noticed that the splits only give off smoke for the first...

    Should I confit brisket

    Hi guys, the beef briskets that I get from my farm, are high quality grass-and a little grain-fed. They have got a fine fat cap, and are probably between the high select and the low choice in marbling, which, according to BBQ experts is very challenging for the beginner. I have seen the Mad...

    hot smoked salmon

    I smoked a whole salmon yesterday on my bubba grills offset. I followed this recipe. I've never smoked salmon and I discovered it's a messy, expensive thing to prepare. I filleted and then cut up the 20 pound fish into one pound chunks. I brined those for about 8 hours. I rinsed well, then let...
