    how much $ per pound for brisket?

    I am not sure if this sale is for the Austin area only, but Albertson's has full packers for $.99/lb when you buy at least $10 dollars of other groceries.

    Holy smokes! Those are some crazy prices. I just got back from Costco and their whole briskets were $1.38/pound. Hmm, maybe I should go stock up before the prices go up.

    New GOSM Big Block!

    I have not ever used one, but they are called dual tank regulator or automatic switch overs. I would imagine a RV place would sell them. They are kind of pricey though. Here is one from a webstore. I found this one on ebay

    Lowes BBQ Grillware Gas Smoker

    Hi Jeff, Thanks for your comments. The size really is the only thing that concerns me with the Lowes unit, to bad they do not make a model that is a little larger. But according to the dimensions it does not seem that small so I thought maybe it was just deceptively small. Kind of like how...

    Lowes BBQ Grillware Gas Smoker

    Thanks for you comments BBQBlitz. I really think this smoker would be perfect for me, the only drawback is the size. I would like one that is a tad bit wider for full slabs of ribs and a packer brisket. Of course everything looks smaller on a showroom floor, but it looked kind of small, but...

    Another Newb Smoker to be.

    Bob - I did not get a chance to make it down to cabela's afterall, but I did go over to Lowes, and they have what I think might be a pretty nice smoker. I posted the specs and asked for opinions over in the propane smoker forum. Hopefully some seasoned veterans will have seen this particular...

    Lowes BBQ Grillware Gas Smoker

    I am a newb to smoking, and looking to purchase my first Smoker. I have been reading the posts, and today I went out and did some window shopping. I was wondering if any of you have seen the BBQ Grillware smoker over at lowes and what your thoughts of it were? To me, after having read...

    Another Newb Smoker to be.

    Thanks for the welcome Dutch. As a matter of fact I just signed up for the eCourse. Now if I could only pull the trigger on a smoker I will be ready to go! I will probably do little, ok probably a lot of window shopping this weekend...so hopefully in the next couple of weeks, the thin blue...

    LOL! Austin traffic sucks...no doubt. There is a cabelas about 45 minutes south of me that I may go check out this weekend. These look a lot like the GOSM and they do not seem to be too terribly priced.

    Another Newb Smoker to be.

    Thanks for the welcome Bob. I hope I can make a decision on a smoker soon to. I think I have decided on a propane smoker...I just can't get that SWEET stainless smoker over at costco out of my mind...but I am not sure if I am ready to make that big of an investment. So I have been leaning...

    Another Newb Smoker to be.

    Hello All. I am Louis, from Austin, Tx. I am a complete newb to smokin'. Actually I do not even own a smoker...yet. I decided about a month ago, over some Q at Rudy's(local q restaurant), that I would like to get a smoker, and make my own. So I did what I always do...googled smoking meat...
