    RF Build In Slow Motion (Sinks are done!)

    I am not sure if I am going to go with as big of a warmer as you did but then again its always better to have more than less in those cases. If you dont mind Im going to throw some hypotheticals at you and see what you think. I would like to be able to have a live smoking fire down the road but...

    RF Build In Slow Motion (Sinks are done!)

    Solar Just wanted to say Ty for documenting this very cool build. I have been away from here for some time and I come back and I am seeing people building some 500 gal stuff so I am very excited. I think your design is very well thought out. If you dont mind can you tell me how you came to some...

    Adding a gas burner to the Firebox

    Gene I am liking the ideas. Its given me food for thought for sure. I am a little torn on the internal piper burner but you can try it one was and see how it works. I think the add or removal wont take a lot of effort with the right tools to weld and cut. Any thoughts on how big of a pipe to...

    Adding a gas burner to the Firebox

    I would not put one in the cooking chamger as it would not do any good to use as a wood starter but if your piped for gas you can start with a weed burner. I cant help but think  the ash and heaps of red hot coals would have to affect the piper burner to some degree over time? I know clogging is...

    Adding a gas burner to the Firebox

    It would keep temps constant but has more uses than just that. My biggest issue is if it is covered in coals and ashes that if I am going to have any problems with that

    Adding a gas burner to the Firebox

    I have thought about a burner as well but when that is sitting in a hot pile of coals I dont see that working out very well. Only thing I can think of that will work is a pipe burner. Like this...

    Adding a gas burner to the Firebox

    Copout. I am planning on doing the same thing and my search has been very long to find the right thing. I currently use a weedburner to get the wood started. It works out fine and I will continue until I get my next build done. I am wanting to do a RF 500 gallon unit. What I want mine to do...

    500 gal RF design with a few twists?

    First off this forum rocks. I have learned tons from it. My older smoker projects were just built with little to no science applied so after reading on here (mostly about 250 gal) im going to use engineering to my advantage. Questions: 1) How much operationing temp (heat up, maintain, and...

    BBQ Pitmasters Show

    Well I guess I will throw my hat in here. Living here in TX I saw Jonny Trigg in the doughnut shop in Alvarado TX, Other than that I have not seen or heard anything about his BQQ. I do know of Ricks in Mckinney TX which is very good restaurant but to see the young kid take a swipe at bqq...

    Spicy Hot Rub

    Being a chile head there are answers to your delima. Just find someone who sells pure capsaicin. VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS. THIS CAN KILL YOU.... THIS IS NO JOKE. Lots of people use those to adjust the "pepper" or "hot" in marinades or stews or chilies. They get the spice or flavor...

    Good source for spices and rubs

    http://www.penderys.com/ This is the place I get most if not all of my cooking spices and rubs from. They are a little expensive but very well worth it. If your in the Dallas/FT Worth area they have a big warehouse (pick up on there) and a retail outlet in FTW. Any questions or comments. Let...

    Meat injector

    I have a stainless steel injector and have used plastic ones in the past (which I no longer use and hope others dont.) I do inject with some very spicey stuff so if you use a plastic injector if your needle clogs stop and dont try and press it out. I had one break on me and give me eyes which...

    Meat injector

    I did 3 turkeys this last thanksgiving and I dont mind the metal syringe but it would go a ton faster with this rig but I cant justtify spending a 175.00 on something I use 2x a year and on occassion when I do beer can chickens. I didnt know if it was a deal of your paying extra since its on...
