    bison brisket

    Just noticed this thread, hopefully someone still is looking.  I did one, or part of one this past weekend.  It weighed a whopping two pounds.  The guy at the meat shop told me the largest he could get would be about 6lbs, nothing like you get with beef.  At $8.85/lb two lbs is all I wanted to...

    Brick Smoker

    Not that I'm thinking to use "high" heat for smoking, just a random thought!

    Brick Smoker

    I've been mulling it over more and more.  Definitely need steel "trim" like doors, vents, racks, RF plate( if I go that way), damper etc.  I believe the bricks are good at absorbing and radiating heat back.  Good pizza comes out of "hot" brick ovens as do many other things cooked in high heat. ...

    Brick Smoker

    I have been planning on doing a RF build using an old tank or some pipe but have never gotten started.  I was recently gifted with quite a few firebricks.  Anyone ever done an offset style smoker out of fire brick?  I'm not really interested in a "cold" only smoker, I want to be able to easily...

    Thanksgiving Pheasant

    Sorry, no QView of these, no excuses, just didn't take any.  Phesants were skinned and cut into pieces before they went on.  Nice pink color when they came off the smoker and after the crock pot, they were great.  I'll take a few pics next time, and after all the different ways I've cooked...

    Thanksgiving Pheasant

    Pheasant turned out great.  Good smoke flavor even after 18 hrs in the crock pot.  Will do this again.  One of the better pheasants I've eaten in my life.

    Thanksgiving Pheasant

    Last year I oversmoked two pheasants on Thanksgiving so I'm trying something different this year.  I set up the Weber Kettle (too cold and windy for the SFB) at about 215, threw on some well-soaked alder and got some good smoke going.  I put two birds on for only an hour.  They are now in the...

    Old Tank Prices

    Thanks everyone.  I've got an abandoned propane tank farm not too far from me but not getting any response from anyone on buying an old tank.  I'll keep trying, I'm not in too big of a hurry.

    Old Tank Prices

    I've started looking around for old propane tanks to do a build, mainly a 160 or a 250.  What's a decent price for one?  Tough to find in my area but I see something pop up every now and then.

    Char Griller w/SFB as a Reverse Flow

    Good Luck with it.  I RFed mine last winter and has worked much better than it did as a direct flow.  I've had trouble with charcoal too and have switched to wood.  Have fun and post up some Qview!!!

    char-griller question

    I've had the same problem with the same unit and don't have a good answer for you.  Have you replaced your thermometer yet?  The factory one is not very accurate.  I saved a little charcoal once I did that just by actually reading the right temp.  I would burn 40-50lbs of good, Royal Oak or...

    Fire control.................

    I have a Char-Griller with a SFB and a few mods.  I have switched from charcoal to wood in it and have a horrible time trying to find a good, consistent temp and smoke no matter what fuel I am using.  I was hoping switching would help me and it hasn't.  I just finished my 4th run with just wood...

    Thanks for the great welcome. I'll give the q-view a try next time I put together a smoke, hopefully sometime in the next few weeks!

    I'm trying to figure out my way around a little bit and thought I was in the Roll Call section. I'll keep looking. Thanks for the welcome.

    New To SMF

    My name is Chris. The BBQ name comes from one of my escape artist dogs who took off as I was filling out an application to join an amateur division in local BBQ contest. I just happened to be on the "Team Name" blank and hadn't come up with anything yet! Experienced just enough to get me in...

    char griller mod idea need input

    I have had my Char Griller for about a year. I've had good success but uneven heat has been an issue and it also uses a lot of charcoal it seems to me. I decided to change it a little after lurking on this forum one night last week. I just finished modifying it into a reverse flow unit. I...
