    I tried the foiling methods & just didn't like the way they turned out. Since then I've always done them for 6hrs straight smoke & have never been happier. I've gotten soooo many compliments on my ribs & truthfully haven't found better at any of the local joints. These are going to be one of my...

    Green wood

    Sure you can, you'll just have to supply more charcoal or some other dry wood to sustain your heat. The green wood will smolder & not put off heat like dry wood will. Mix it in & let me know how you make out!

    275 gal Oil tank build

    Rides great Terry, no shimmy at all. Even on some rough spots. Tongue weight is minimal, maybe 30-50lbs, she's pretty balanced. The tank's not as heavy as it looks, but the extra steel inside does add some heft. The trailer is almost as wide as the tank is, so I don't think it's an issue. Never...

    275 gal Oil tank build

    Temped it up this weekend for the first time. I was a little nervous, seeing how much time & money I've put into it, buuuuuuut....it turned out great. She held temp great. The plates do a wonderful job of holding the temp when refueling is needed. There was about a 6 degree difference between...

    OK, HUGE update!! Finally got it home yesterday after a ton of work. It took me long enough, but I learned to weld (not the best at it, but hey!) and got to make it the way I wanted to. I have thank my friend Shaun profusely for the time, energy & patience he lent me in building this...
