    Minimum Temp Alarm?

    Sorry.  When I first looked at your link I thought it said Amazon.com.  I already had Amazon open, So I just searched for it.  That is why I asked how I would know he was the seller.  Glad I did not order from there until I understood that it was Amazen.  I alwaays try to support the locals when...

    Minimum Temp Alarm?

    Does anyone know of a remote digital therm with a minimum temp alarm?  I am going to do some all night cooking and dont want to sleep through my pit cooling off too much.  I dont really want to wake up every hour either.  Thanks in advance.

    Got the big one back today.  Here it is just before throwing 2 whole chickens and 5 thighs.  Some of you asked for more pics of the smoke box, etc.

    How are some of you getting such a good smoke ring ?

    After some searching, I found this post.  Read post #3 http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85229

    How are some of you getting such a good smoke ring ?

    I thought the ring had more to do with the rub you use.  I cant find the facts, but, I thought it was a reaction between the meat and some chemical (such as nitrogen) that made the ring.  The makeup of the rub facilitates that reaction.

    Rib Racks

    I posted this in another thread.  I feel like racks do more than save space.  I have cooked hundreds of ribs over the years.  I have tried many different tweaks.  I believe the racks yield juicier, more tender ribs.  As the fat renders down through the meat it travels through more of the meat...

    Firebox is on the back of the barrell.  My buddy has it at a family function.  He is returning it Sunday.  I will take more pics including the firebox and post them then. Thanks for the welcomes.  Looking forward to learning new techniques from you guys.

    New to smoking ribs....

    Twobears, I have always felt that the racks do more than add space.  With the ribs on their side, the fat and juices drizzle through more of the meat rendering juicier, more tender meat. I usually cook babybacks.  I cook them two ways.  One is straight up 4 1/2 hours at 225.  The other is 3...
