    I'm still around!

    Hi Joe. Is that just standard #9 X 3/4 expanded metal, like I can buy at Davis Metal Recycling on Washington? That's where I got all the x-metal I used to make the charcoal baskets for my UDS and my offset. Have you made it down to 40th Street and University to Little Miss BBQ?  My late FIL...

    Buck, a guy I know from the local forum is a Traeger rep, as well as an accomplished competition cook. Last I knew, he has a pretty nice Lang offset as well as other stuff. Let's get you two talking. And add in Green Mountain Grills from BBQ Island in Tempe by IKEA.

    Sure, but I was really taken aback by the 175.usually not that tender until 200ish. Wife, who doesn't usually like BBQ, really enjoyed it. And the ribs. I put the wrapped butt back out 'til the ribs were done.

    Update. I've brought in the butt. The internal temp was measuring a mere 175°, but the probe went in like butter, and the bone was loosey goosey. During handling, a thumb sized chunk broke off. It was yummy, of course. I am considering putting the roast back out there until I bring in the ribs...

    GO CARDINALS! OK. I got that out of the way... I'm cooking a pork butt covered with Three Little Pigs Touch of Cherry, and a rack of loin back ribs that were on sale at S & F Tempe for $2.49/lb. I haven't got apple juice, but we seem to have a plethora of applesauce in cans, so...I'll let ya...

    I have been tied in to Arizona smoking for over 7 years. I was very active here until a couple years ago, when life got in the way of smoking and posting. I'll try to maintain my presence for a while. Smoking a butt and rack for the game tomorrow. Go CARDS! I started with an electric ECB...

    Thanksgiving practice

    Great thread, guys. I'm of the hotter cook camp for turkeys. They'll be in the smoke for several hours even at 350. It takes 3-5 hours in your conventional oven at that temp, so that's plenty of time to smoke a turkey.  I am originally from the DC 'burbs, and I grabbed some Todd's original when...

    I'm another guy who was touched by Rich's kindness and help while attempting to spark up some smoke. Thank you for your warmth and good advice, Rich. We know the clouds are really TBS!  Godspeed, good man!

    A different approach to what you want to find in a store near you...

    If you were to stock a barbeque store, what is the one item in each of these categories that would be imperative for you to carry? Assuming your item of choosing isn't available in your local HEB, Kroger, Safeway, Giant Food, Fry's, Ralph's, HyVee, Super Target, WallyWorld...you get the idea. A...

    Now that you're out here, try to get hold of some QN4U Clovis style BBQ sauce from Brent and Kim Walton over in California. They come out here for many of our comps and support the local BBQ club in AZ. And their sauce placed 3rd in the American Royal (?) this year. It fits the description you...

    What would you like to find in a local store?

    I'm wondering what you cooks across the country would like to be able to buy in a local store...be it sauces, rubs, utensils or other accessories. I live in Phoenix, but if I want products more esoteric than Shilling/McCormick or Sweet Baby Ray's or Stubbs, I have to drive 30 miles one way to...
