    SmokeyOkie Method on Shoulder Clod ??

    Local grocery has Choice Chucks on sale. Avg weight around 22lbs. Wondering if anyone has tried the SmokeyOkie method on one of these. I've been wanting to try his method for quite awhile...has taken some time to get the nerve up to sear before smoking. Plan on rubbing with blk pepper, onion...

    Roasting Dried Peppers?

    I've roasted dried new mexico and california chili peppers for my tamale red sauce....should be similar I would think. Just put them on a cookie sheet in a 450 degree oven and leave the door cracked open so you can smell them. In about two minutes you'll notice the roasted smell...a few minutes...

Had the place smelling so good I'm sure the patients were disappointed when their food from the crapateria arrived . They were definately a hit. Will be making them again in the near future. Need to get...

    1st attempt at q-view

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll try the mustard before rubbing next time and mop/spray. Truth be told I had apple juice on hand and had planned on spraying, but the bark was so darned purty I just pussed out and didn't do it. Dave

    Brinkmann prices/quality/functionality

    Found this picture of tuning plates. Basically the idea is to have the smoke from the firebox to travel under the plates the full length of the smoking chamber to even out the temp. Small gaps between the plates allow smoke to get to all of the meat. Just the way I understand it. Like I say...

    Brinkmann prices/quality/functionality

    Nope. Mine has a piece of 1/4 by 2 strap as a baffle, but it ends about 1/2 inch into the firebox and about 1/2 inch below cooking rack. Guess it works to keep the radiant heat from flames off the meat, but doesn't do squat to even out temps. Plan to add tuning plates made of 1/2 by 4 inch stock...

    Brinkmann prices/quality/functionality

    I started with a SNP in 2000....had to leave behind during a job change, but it worked fine. I didn't know enough to modify it back then. I then had a New Branfels Bandera until last fall when I got a Cimarron. The main difference like everyone here has said is the thickness of the metal. It...

    How bad have you got it???

    Smokeaholic???....Naw.... I would consider explaining to your wife that you merely have a redundancy engineered smoking system in case of single, double, or triple unit failure. Also might mention that when meat goes on sale you will be able to save her lots of money by buying lots of it...

    Anyone found a good internet source for wood

    Temperature control system testing this weekend

    Josh, Thanks for sharing this idea. There's a company named tee-jet that makes stainless nozzles and nozzle bodies for ag applications. Some of them are adjustable so you could direct the spray to different areas inside the coker with a fixed nozzle body location. There are also optional...

    Happy Holidays from Texas, y'all!

    Char Broil Bandera

    Whether or not you use the water pan is up to you. I always used it at first thinking that the water would absorb extra heat from a fire that is too hot and give up heat from a fire that is too cool and that is true to a certain extent, however I just couldn't see 5lbs of water making a big...

    Char Broil Bandera

    Rodney, Congrats on the new smoker. I had one of the earlier models when they were made by New Braunfels. What I would suggest doing on this first run, especially since its Christmas Dinner is to test your thermometer with boiling water test and then place a shelf as close to the level of the...
