    I was walking through Walmart yesterday on the prowl for more BBQ gear when I had a great idea pop into my head.

    Where to Buy?

    Does anyone know where I can buy a whole pig in North West Georgia/East Alabama? I'm looking to cook one for 4th of July this year, but I'm not sure how to start looking for one that is already processed and ready to throw on the smoker.

    Beam Smokers

    Does anyone on here have any knowledge or use of Beam Smokers? They look pretty good, really cheap compared to Langs or other similar smokers, but I've heard that the firebox may be a bit too small. Any opinions? http://www.beamscustomsmokers.com/menu.html Thanks, BigJonBBQ

    First Smoke on the SnP

For some reason, the baffle I made, didn't let much of the heat tranfer between the firebox and the...
