    Question for BBQ Bubba and other Drum Smoker Guru's

    It seems that everyone has different ideas as to how to put this thing together. After building so many drum smokers, what advice can you give me on the design. What design features have worked best for you? I picked up two drums yesterday, and I'm ready to get started, i just want to make sure...

    To Pan, or Not To Pan.... This is the Question

    I want to know how many of you use pans when you smoke meat. I have done several picnics (that's pork shoulder for you yankees ) both ways and I really have to say that I prefer to put them in a pan. I rub the meat the night before, then I use an applejuice, cider vinegar, and rub mixture to...

    I just had to do it....

    You could have just said "Butterflied"...... :) Sometime I do butterly it, sometimes I brine, sometimes I just split it, slap it on the barbie and baste it with butter. Im not tied down to one particilar way of cooking. Even when doing BCC I try different combinations of things. With beer or...

    I just had to do it....

    Yeah, I thought about that but I decided against it at the last minute because my mother was coming over and she cant grasp the whole smoke ring thing. If she sees too much pink she swears its not done. As it is I have a hard time convincing her that juicy chicken is a good thing. I have some...

    I just had to do it....

    Thanks for the kind words, I have to say they were absolutely delicious. I Seasoned them with a mixture of 4 parts salt, 1 part garlic powder, and 1 part black pepper and then I sprinkled them with some paprika for color. I put half a bottle Michelob Lager in each can along with about a...

    Try'n Ribs again, PICS

    Hey BigAl, the honey thing is actually pretty good but for me you need to ballance out the sweet with some heat. Adding a little pepper to it really changes the outcome. By pepper I mean cayenne, white, black, etc. Whatever you like. I did some last year that I slathered with honey and sprinkled...

    Try'n Ribs again, PICS

    Those look pretty good to me. I tried 3-2-1, and variations but I found that if I spray them every hour or so with a basting liquid they come out nearly perfect. The only time I ever foil is if I feel like the ribs are getting too much smoke. I was lucky enough last year to buy two cases of...

    Is there a trick to smoking 7 butts at the same time?

    I would definitely keep an eye on your temps. Most big cooks like that require some shuffling from time to time, but it shouldn't be difficult. What limited experience I have with upright smoking chambers actually did teach me that the order in which you put them in does seem to make a...

    "OTBS"

    Hi all, I am new to this forum, but definitely not new to smoking. I have been smoking for several years now, and although I have humble equipment... A CharGriller Super Pro with SFB, I turn out what is in my opinion some pretty darn good Q. So much so that I have friends and family constantly...
