    105 lbs Butt @ 190F - 24hrs

    I beg to differ on this. I've read nermous books that state this fact. "Great Sausage Making Recipes" being one and the "BBQ Book" being another one. Can you supply any documentation stating other wise?

    fattie help

    How much bacon does it take to do a bacon weave for a fattie? I want to make 6 of them for the weekend. Could someone give me their favorite recipes for stuffing these, the easier the better. Thanks

    Would this work?

    Yup, I had some concerns about that also but I had a way around it but didn't need it. It performs like a champ. Thanks for the input though, you were not the only one that said it probably wouldn't work in that set up.

    Would this work?

    I have been using this the last three weekends with perfect results. I'm holding temp within 5 degrees from the fire box side of the main to the vertical box. I have to get up about once ever 1.5 hours to adjust and add a log but other than that it will do whatever you want it to. I could not...

    Would this work?

    I've never ran one with tuning plates but I just feel my advantage with this is that everything is welded in solid, not tuning plates to mess with, very even heat across the main chamber and the vertical. I smoke alot in the winter also since I live in Michigan and believe that the two plates...

    Would this work?

    There are a few reasons. I have always like the looks of this layout, I can still use the top of my fire box for cooking breakfast of for warming stuff up on, the weight is more evenly distributed on my trailer. I wouldn't not have had any tongue weight unless I moved the axles back and then I...

    long weekend

    Actually there was only a few of us but we are big eaters. I'm really just trying to fun the smoker and figure out how she likes to run and get some times down for competition. Good weekend and the rig runs better than I could have hoped for.

    long weekend

    105 lbs Butt @ 190F - 24hrs

    When I was running a gasser I smoked everything that low and slow. There is a thought that the longer you can keep the surface of the meat under 140 degrees it will take smoke better. I have been told that after 140 it closes off and wont take much after that. I have never had one dry out. I...

    Calling all Michigan cookers

    I'm still trying to get everything all finished up. I would really like to do this event but not sure the trailer will be ready by then. I plan on coming just to be part of it even if I don't have my rig ready yet to learn all I can about the competition aspect. I might be able to help out...

    Here are some more pics of my smoker with the s flow design. Everything seems to be working great. It is holding temp better than I thought it would. Still lots of work to do yet on the trailer, still have to install the sink and tables, deep fryers and wood box but I'm getting there. Thanks for...

    That was just starting the fire and the wood was wet. We didn't even have the seals installed. They will go on tonight. I was just trying to prove out my design with the S flow and make sure it worked before I finished it in case I had to change somthing. It will be sealed up tight tonight.

    Well I finially gave it a test fire last night. Put all plates for the S flow in place, didn't weld anything in case it didn't work. Only put a 4" stack on it and I didn't even bend it. I just blew a hole in the side stuck it in and fired it up to see if it would work. The S flow worked great...

    How will you know if your stack is not large enough? What will it act like or do?
