My new smoker is starting to look like a smoker!

That's gonna be fancy! You'll love cooking on it, I'm sure.

I miss using my big stick burner!

Thanks CB.  It will be fun!

You are going to have a load of fun, and you are going to enjoy how Texas BBQ should taste.

So have you scoped a spot next to the road to grab your mesquite? I can see a full outside kitchen w/cooling misters in the future, yep, yep, yep.... You gonna have to start watching for a good used reefer to set out on the porch for soda pops and such...... LOL

There really is a big difference in the taste.

You are going to love it, especially since you've already honed your skills

I'm not sure how honed my skills are Brother Kevin. This thing will be like starting all over again!  But looking forward to the learning experience and the check off on my BBQ Bucket List.  

As for that outdoor kitchen... You know me Goldie. I'm a simple man. I'll be just as happy with an igloo cooler and a folding lawn chair.

Absolutely!  Why make a fuss?  This type of cooking is for cheap cuts of meat cooked by fuel you can pick up off the ground!  Simple life. That is why I love it! b

Wow! Nice I could use one of those for my yearly yard party. I have been smoking my brisket and butts on my little 22 1/2 WSM a couple weeks in advance then freezing them until party time. Then I smoke the ribs in my MES 40 which was full from top to bottom this year. Everything turns out tasty, tender and jucy but nothing beats fresh out of the smoker. I read a lot about stick burners but never smoked on one.
I'm sad that here in Minnesota it gets so cold and often my equipment is serroinfed with so much snow that I am unable to get to it, nothing works very well in the cold anyway so I just stop smoking until spring.[emoji]128533[/emoji]

Brian, That thing really looks great. The stack is for TBS, the ball valve is for everything else. You will really enjoy stick burning. Everything's great when you're playing with fire. BTW, would you consider Tar Heel Blue?????

I'll request you to PM me on your seasoning technique ! I know your son builds them out your way.  I'm sure you have the seasoning down!

Looking really good, B. How big is that monster anyway?

 

[bdskelly]

Thank you Red. I'll be burning the paint off that firebox in just a few days!

Great question Joe.  I dunno...  I'll have to measure it when I get it home on Saturday. It's one of the smaller units Don makes. I think he used a 150 gallon tank for this one ...?  B
