Welcome from another newbie!! But I gotta hear more about your opinions of BEEF as a "livestock specialist". MY ULTIMATE SMOKE IS BRISKET!!! I'd also be interested in your opinions on Lamb.

Welcome from Arizona!

Really nice looking smokehouse. And it looks like you extended the roof and put a concrete pad under it for an offset smoker maybe?

Thanks everyone.

I love beef. My PhD is in beef cattle nutrition. I smoke brisket for our annual cattlemen's college every year, and for special occasions.

I actually hold cooking seminars for lamb through out the state. I like smoked lamb legs, rare lamb chops cooked in a cast iron skillet, lamb gyros, and lamb kabobs the most.

Thanks John, I went to school at the University of Arizona, so I spent a lot of time down your way. Yes, my smoker has a firebox I use for cold smoking, or I can set a turkey fryer and cast iron skillet in the bottom to BBQ. The design on this smokehouse is really wind resistant, so it seems pretty versatile so far.


The local newspaper came out a few weeks ago to try it out. I think it is a fun video, but don't take the quotes and info too serious. Reporters never quote you right, and always leave out and confuse things.

Colt, Still a nice video though.

But now I see the firebox and understand your setup better.

Really Nice Smoker "House" cause I bet you can do a ton of meat in there....

And you have had the privilege of experiencing the nice summers we have here.

John
