Also haven't smoked eggs yet, have to add that to the list.
Easy to do.

And I found some locally made pepper jam, so I plan to do one rack with a honey garlic rub from weber, then braise with butter and apricot juice, with some south carolina style bbq sauce <Mustard based> and another rack of baby backs with a chiptole honey rub and then foiled with the pepper jam and some cranberry juice, then glazed with sweet baby ray sweet and spicy..

I'm hoping the foiling with cranberry will at least help impart a -deep- red to the meat if not add cranberry tang.
 
I decided to take the holiday off from smoking. After reading all these posts, I wish I didn’t. Burgers and dogs for us on the Weber.
 
Not smoking today. The wife had the urge for some food from her home land. So she's making Rouladen and Knödel. And bean salad. I suggested putting the Rouladen in the smoker. Got a pretty spicy German word thrown at me. Oh well, didn't hurt to try!

St. Louis and baby back Ribs with tips and a few wings today. First time on the Weber kettle and snake method. Going ok. Temps were low at first but better now. Wife loved the wings. Just about to wrap the ribs.

I decided at 3 this morning to smoke some pork butt. Have a 6 pounder in that's been going for 12 hours and still sits at 186°. Definitely testing my patience. Lol.
 
I might do a baked bean recipe from gary s. And a pork butt I just thawed out.
Going to try a new mod in my Dyna Glo wide body.

Hey Rings,

I am thinking about purchasing a Dyna-Glo wide body and I was wondering what you thought of it. What mods do you need to be done to it, or is it pretty much ready out of the box? How heavy duty is the firebox and chamber?

Thanks

Um.. inside the fire box has a plate in the top that helps hold heat. It's still all kinda thin.
I used the gasket material from lava lock around the fire box . The sticky back stuff. I used the high temp RTV at the connection between the fb and cook chamber. Chimney and thermometer backing.
I made a heat deflector that bolts on inside the cooking chamber just above the fb inlets.

The temps get hotter in the upper area of the cook chamber. It doesn't have real great air flow out the exhaust. The thing will use a bag of charcoal for one 10 hour cook.
I bought it to do jerky at 160° for 4-6 hours. It does fine below 250° Above 250 you need a bunch of hot coals.
