    Dr. Pepper, Really?

    Picked me a butt up tonight. Thought of trying something different and seem to recall using DR. PEPPER to marinate with. Interested to hear who has tried it and how much do you use? Any other items added to the mix? Thanks.

    Rescued a Smoker from the curb

    The better half just shook her head and asked me why I needed a 4th smoker. I promised to do a chicken for her this weekend. Now, I have to do some searches and learn a bit about it. Is adding charcoal a pain?

    Looking for quick feedback

    I have been shopping for a gas smoker when I came across this charcoal display at 50% off. That would make it $64. Any info on this? It's a Royal Oak here is the link. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=5508760 I do not see a firebox option for this.

    Choosing a better SMOKER><><><INPUT?

    I was in the local Gander MTN. today and saw that they had the Smoky Mountain 30in. electric for $99. The 34in. propane was $130. I'm looking to upgrade from the Big Chief so I can do larger meats and not just jerky. Would the propane be the better way to go?

    I am new here. I got a freezer full of venison and a used Big Chief Top loader that I rescued. Looking forward to trying it out (25F) this weekend. I could use some set-up info. I have the smoker, rack and AC plug. No water bowl. Plus, do I need lava rocks in the bottom or just toss the wood...
