    my first brisket

    The last couple briskets that I smoked, I removed the point prior to cooking. This allowed the meat to come to temperature a little faster & I was able to prep & cook the burnt end a little longer while the flat was still in the smoker. It worked great.

    Spreadsheet for those big Q's

    I have just been asked to cater a friend's Wedding Shower & a tool like this would be extremely helpful. I have always appreciated the help that I have received here at SMF & this is just another example of how neighborly this joint can be.

    Lang 60 Deluxe

    I know. I usually only get a couple 45 minute naps. Wishful thinking I guess.

    Lang 60 Deluxe

    Well, I put in an offer on the Lang 60 Deluxe. Now to wait for his response. I was wondering. If I was to use a combination of Lump & Wood, could I get a little "minion method" going to prolong the burn & offer myself a couple of hours of uninterupted sleep during a competition?

    Lang 60 Deluxe

    Currently, I am using lump in the UDS. I would want to convert myself into a stickburner if I got the Lang. I would have source my wood from somewhere. Not sure where yet.

    Lang 60 Deluxe

    I am currently using a UDS. When I compete, I end-up having to talk my brother & a friend into going with me so that they will bring their smokers as well. The company is good, but I would like to be able to compete without having to depend on anybody. Plus, the wife said "You should go out &...

    Do I have great In-Laws or what!?!?!?!

    So 2 years ago, my Mother-In-Law bought me a Smokey Hollow Electric Smoker for Christmas. BBQ was totally new to me, so an electric unit was perfectly fine. This past weekend, my Father-In-Law told me that he had a 55 gallon drum that he gave to a friend of his who builds UDS's professionally...

    Thanks for all of your replys. I have not made any modification to the unit yet. I definately want to to dig into this site to investigate these modifications. I am very interested in the Minion Method & will probably take that approach to start. I was going to conduct my first smoke with some...

    New to Charcoal

    Last year my Mother-In-Law bought me an electric smoker as a Christmas gift & that is what I have been doing all of my BBQ in. Well, this past weekend, my wife stopped at a garage sale & bought me a Char-Grill H20 unit. So, now I have to learn how to use it. It is my understanding that I would...

    Question for Pulled Pork Experts about juice

    You will definately still have juice. The first time that I finished in the oven I was doing 4 pork butts & I didn't put anything under the butts to catch the juice. Boy, did my wife enjoy cleaning up that mess!!!

    Question for Pulled Pork Experts about juice

    Last time, I mixed the juice into the Finnishing Sauce recipe that SoFlaQuer has on the Boards. It turned out great.

    Welcome to the Boards! I've been smoking here in Buffalo this winter. I'm definately going to have to come up with some type of windblock. The wind slows down the process a bit.

    Angry White Man

    Considering the current political process, it sure does make one feel neglected when one is not considered to be a part of any "Special Interest Groups".
