    chargriller conversion

    I have an Afterburner gas conversion for a Chargriller for sale. I used to chase the temps all over the place with wood or charcoal before. Gas lets things settle in.

    First time making own brats and a question

    Whatever you smoke starts out below 140* (danger zone) but normally does not stay in the zone real long. Sausage that is smoked usually starts out at 130* pit temp for a couple of hours before slowly raising the temp (over a period of hours) to 140, 150 and to 160. Thats when you NEED cure. The...

    Pickled Jalapeno Mix

    Why is there water in there, yuck. Go 100% vinegar and add whatever spices you like. I only add water to pickles (Q's).

    Consider hitting the inside with an orbital sander to smooth out the metal before seasoning.

    Let it snow! Porkfest w/ Q-view!

    Having been just built last Aug., the pit has cooked way more in cold weather than warm. It won't know how to act in hot weather. Very nice looking meats. How did the pit temps hold? I'm glad it's performing well. I knew it would. I am still getting calls for it. Wish I had 6 more. I have a...

    greetings, from lancaster, pa

    Welcome. If you are using the small cooker I'm thinking of, it will drive you nuts trying to keep the temp on the mark. Will tend to dry things out too. Consider joining Mid Atlantic BBQ Assn. MABQQA.com You can get support for your operation there.

    New KCBS Judge- and Open house at Meadow Creek

    The Lang came first. If all else were equal, the shipping of a 1,000 # to 1800 # unit the extra miles from GA should get your attention. Both are great cookers.

    first smoke on the new Lang 60

    The rod has 2 washers welded on and spaced something like an inch apart. A coil spring is located on the rod between them. The problem is that the washers are too far apart. The washers that I cut had too large a piece cut out of them and fell out. A snap ring with a gap smaller than the rod...

    Need help w/Pastrami

    Using an Angus flat and the following brine (reduced by 1/2) in a zip bag, I brined for 6 days (also injected brine). The result was a gray colored interior and lacking pastrami flavor. It was smoked at 150* for 2 hrs, 3 hrs at 240* and steamed for 2 hrs. Is this brine or the brining time...

    first smoke on the new Lang 60

    Dan, glad to see you had a good cook. Barb and I had a tear in the eye looking at her in a strange yard. The temp IMO was low for chicken. Might consider 300* to 325*. I cut a piece out of several flat washers and slide them over the warmer damper control rod which compresses the spring and...
