    Rear-Facing Reverse-Flow Barbecue Trailer

    That is a very nice build sir!  I'm curious as to what type of insulation you used in the firebox, how much did the insulation cost, and can it be obtained at Lowe's or the like??

    Not sure where else to post this

    I have 4 of those white nylon or teflon cutting boards from Sam's club and I stupidly left them outside on my rusty trailer.  Does anyone have ideas on how to get rust stains off of them. I'll try to post a pic later but think expanded metal pattern in rust stain. I hate to toss them and buy...

    First competition and came in 8th overall !!

    Sorry to keep adding things but I didn't think of this earlier. I will say that in my opinion that the butts and the brisket were the best I have ever cooked in my life. I think my partner has pics and I will post them too. We put them on at 8pm Fri night. 4 hrs later I put the brisket in a...

    First competition and came in 8th overall !!

    Bottom line to get in was $150 dollars and we spent about that in meat ($70 for a case of ribs and about $70 in butts and a brisket). We spent a lot more on other stuff we needed and we gave out sodas and water, etc. My employer sponsored me, but I am planning for the future in case he won't...

    Fatty taste question

    Hey another Mobile, AL smoker in the house!! That's awesome. Anyway I love to make the fatties, but my wife and family don't really care for the strong all sausage taste so I cut mine a lot of times half pork and half beef. I am going to attempt a half turkey half pork one tomorrow for Labor...

    Italian All-Meat Fattie

    I usually make the same style, but add some green olives, mozarella or provolone, and a dash of marinara sauce..... Just have to be careful to get it all in there and not have a blow out. Thanks for the post
