    The flavor of Lamb?

    Personally, I love Lamb. Some say it can have a slight gamy taste, but heck, it's not pork! You probably had a bad tasting experience at the restaurant. Weird spices or herbs. Lamb, imho, is best with salt, pepper and some garlic. Try making a small roast at home and I bet you will LOVE it!

    What are you doing this holiday weekend?

    No smoking or cooking of any sort for me. My youngest son, 10, and I will be heading to the White Mountains for a bit of hiking and memory making. Food, except for lunches, is provided by the Lodge. Also will be stopping at a mineral mine to do some rock hunting. The boy loves his rocks.

    Competition Judging

    I took the KCBS judging class and have judged only one competition. At the class the instruction is aimed at getting the judges to know what the KCBS rules are for the submitted meats. Things like what type of garnish, number of pieces in the box, simple stuff. The judges are instructed to judge...

    mini loin roast on new mini reverse flow q-view

    Hey Duck, good job on the nice cooker. There are at least two of us in MA, a couple in Maine and PA and some I don't know of who have mini reverse flows. Wouldn't it be cool to have a gathering of folks cooking on just Mini Smokers? We could bill it as The Worlds Smallest Cook-Off!!

    mini loin roast on new mini reverse flow q-view

    So the smoke can get out! Seriously though, there is a horizontally mounted convection plate in the cook chamber which is below the cooking grate and runs from the fire box end almost to the opposite end. The smoke and heat travel under this plate, flow upwards at the end and pass back over...

    Nope. But I can tell you I use the Spitjack Magnum. Works great. Here's a link. http://www.spitjack.com/page/SJ/PROD/HOG/MAGNUM

    smoker names

    I did not name the two drums, WSM or the off-set. I DID name the MINI reverse flow though. His name is Cooper. Here he is. And here are his custom made Mini wheel chocks!

    Do I have a safety issue here????

    It can also be plain old mild steel, that's what your cooker is made from. Till they painted it.

    New Lang has arrived

    Congrats to you! That is a beautiful smoker! I know it is pretty big, but it looks so small in the pictures.

    Low Cal Fatty Help?

    Ok, ok. I was thinking taste. Don't like the Turkey Bacon. For presentation, you are right. I stand corrected!

    Low Cal Fatty Help?

    I've used ground Turkey are that has worked out well. Personally, I'd skip the Turkey Bacon. My 10 year old son LOVES Feta Cheese, so I made him a fatty with spinach, sauteed garlic and Feta. The meat was ground Lamb and the rub was some store bought Greek seasoning, no bacon on the outside...

    Charcoal Advise Please

    David, I hit the outside of the fire box every time I use this cooker. I use a spray bottle with veg. oil in it and give the fire box and any spots on the smoke chamber that have no paint a squirt and a rub. El Cheapo is 4 years old and still looks pretty good.

    Charcoal Advise Please

    What they all said. Making a charcoal basket out of some expanded metal will be your first best start. Here is a pic. of mine. And one in the fire box. It is about 13" square and 7" tall. Just small enough to get it in the fire box and close the door. As to firing: keep a big pile of UNLIT...

    building and keeping fire in charbroil offset.

    What Dutch said. These inexpensive offsets are fuel hogs. I have a Silver Smoker, maybe the same one you have, and this is how I fuel it. Made a charcoal basket. it is about 13" square x 7" tall. Just small enough to fit into the fire box. I fill that about 3/4 full, of unlit with it all piled...
