    My biggest smoke yet.

    I'm far from expert yet but I also had temp problems when using my SFB at first. The secret for me (which someone here told me...sorry I don't remember who) was airflow. I was so worried about it getting too hot that I had all of my vents closed down too much...which in my case was at all...

    First post-mod butt w/qview

    Ok, here it is. This is my first butt attempt since finding this site and modifying my CG Outlaw. The mods were what I've come to call "the standard", the dryer tube for the chimney, the angle iron and steel plates for tuning, fill in the extra holes, and insulate the gaps with wood-stove...

    Best way to dispose of ash

    Hey folks, I'm getting ready to move into a new house with a very nice yard. The place is a rental so I want to take care of it. Obviously smoking creates a lot of ash that needs to be disposed of. In my current place I just dump it in the corner of the yard because it's thrashed anyway, but...

    Confused???

    I just modded my Chargriller Outlaw and had first went to my local Ace hardware and bought all the parts. Then I started talking to people about my project and found out that my brother in law had all the scrap I needed. I never even thought to ask him (he's in commercial construction). So, I...

    A little help with heat management...

    I had the SFB vent open at 3/4" most of the time. Tried it closed down to 1/2" for a short time. I have expanded metal in the SFB for the fuel and also stirred the coals with a poker about once an hour to knock ash off (mostly from the kingsford). I wasn't cooking anything so I wasn't using a...

    A little help with heat management...

    Hey gang, I just modded my CG Outlaw with the standard kit. I've been burning it empty today to get an idea about the heat, time, etc. I burned one chimeny (the weber chimney) of kingsford in the SFB and got a sustained 220-225 for about 2 hours. It hit 200 with the kingsford still...

    CG Modding - question about painting internal parts

    I was pretty certain logic had already provided the answer to my question but thought I'd check with the experts. Thanks for the validation.

    CG Modding - question about painting internal parts

    I'm getting ready to mod my CG Outlaw and my brother-in-law has tons of scrap to work with. One of the pieces he has looks like it would work perfect as the baffle over the firebox opening but it's already primered. I forget what he said it was but something-oxide. The metal is red colored...

    Weber Kettle Grill for smoking?

    I agree 100%. The Smokenator really lets you confine the fuel to one side very nicely. It also has a built-in water pan. Check out the site. Don is awesome. If you want to see it as it comes out of the box you can read my blog post about it (lots of pics). I've used The Smokenator for...

    What's your occupation?

    Man, you stole mine, Aardvark! I own an IT company that does a little corporate network/tech support and a lot of web development (more tools and "software" than websites). As much as I love good old fashioned Q there have been almost half a dozen bbq joints open and close here. Only one has...

    lookin to buy first offset barrell smoker

    I have the CG Outlaw with fire box and it's quite heavy. I use a piece of plywood just to roll it from my patio to the grass...about a 1.5 foot drop. Probably not your best bet for camping...unless you like a little workout with your camping. (I used a hand truck to get it from the car to the...

    Howdy from over here in Oregon

    @walking dude - I've already signed up (just a few minutes ago) @smokin365 - already been there :-) @flash - Oregon is definitely nice but there's nobody around here that sells any wood! I can get chords of black oak but I'm not ready for that kind of commitment. We have a ton of pear orchards...

    Howdy from over here in Oregon

    Hi All, I've just come across this awesome resource today and I can't stop reading! My name is Jason and I'm out here in the south...of Oregon. I've been grilling for a long time. Spent way more time than I should've with those darn table-top gas grills and then bought a Weber gas grill...
