    Seasoning After Pull

    I have been experimenting with adding some seasoning after the pork has been pulled.  I usually mix up the separated juices with some cider vinegar but an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives showed a guy in the Carolinas adding his rub afterwards.  From what I have noticed in my experiments...

    Last nights brisket

    Doing a party today and one of the items on the menu is a big brisket.  I also did some pulled pork the other day for this.  But the brisket was the big item.  I picked up a 14 pounder from Sam's and went to town on it yesterday afternoon.  Started with a little trimming.  The bottom got a...

    Simmer?

    I know most bbq sauces get simmered for a bit.  How long does this need to be.  I just did my first ever batch of sauce and used Jeff's recipe.  I did simmer it for a little while even though the directions didn't say to.  Was I supposed to?  If I was, how long should it simmer?

    Gotta love good neighbors

    My neighbor a block down the street has a mini saw mill at his house.  Earlier this summer I asked him if he ever had any scraps of anything I can smoke with if I could have it.  At the time he didn't have anything and eventually I forgot about it.  The other day while I was out tending to my...

    Does anyone have a classic 50s Ford or Chevy Pickup

    I am working on a project with a buddy for the kids school and need a couple photos of the rear of a 50's pick up.  Going to make a plywood silhouette with a drop down tailgate and want to make it actual size.   Would like to get a picture from straight behind the truck at gate level from around...

    Todays Smoke - In Progress

    I got a variety of items on the smoker today.  Some things for dinner tonight and some for a party next weekend.  Starting out this morning getting a couple butts ready.  I decided to try something I have done on pot roasts.  I peeled and cut up some apples.  Stabbing slits in the butts, I took...

    Fungus or something on wood???

    I got a apricot tree in my yard and it needed a major trimming.  I figured great cause I can use it for smoking.  But I noticed it all had this stuff growing on it.  I know its a common growth on most trees and I remember someone here talking about it, but I don't remember if it is safe or not.

    Craig's List Fun, scams

    If you are a frequent CL watcher then I am sure you see those scams all over the place with a pretty new ATV, Camper, Car or anything expensive that is listed for a 1/4 of the retail price.  It's always listed in your area, but when you reply to the ad the item is sitting in a shipping yard in...

    I added a basket, love it.

    I have been working on some mods on my rig the last week or so.  One of the things I was doing is building a coal basket.  I got all the mods to the firebox done today so I decided to throw in a 20# bag of Kingsford and see what happens.  This basket is big enough to to hold two of those bags...

    Quick Cook Pulled Pork ????, Updated with Results.

    OK, I know the real answer to this question.  But is there a good way to smoke good pulled pork in half the normal time.  I have been having a major crave for a couple months for some pulled pork but I never have time to spend the 10-15 hours to get it done.  But if I can get it done in 6 hours...

    Got a new tank, now what do I do with it?

    Picked up a 100 gallon LP tank this morning and I am not quite sure what I want to do with it.  It's roughly 6ft x 2ft.  My first thoughts were to make a patio smoker out of it.  I was going to cut 2ft off the tank and drop that section down and use it as the firebox.  Then after looking at the...

    Whats the point

    I was watching a huntin show last night and it must have been sponsored by Bradly Smokers because the host did a segment/commercial on smoking a pork roast.  The funny thing was he took the roast and put it in a oven bag when he put it in the smoker.  He did make one little cut in the bag "to...

    I need a home remedy

    For Gnats.  We just got home a few days ago from a two week vacation to find a house full of gnats.  Besides chasing them around smashing them between my hands, is there a good home remedy to get rid of these things.  I am trying the container of vinegar with little holes trick and after 24...

    What defines a UDS??

    I am curious on what defines a UDS.  Is it your typical drum standing there as a smoker, or is it any smoker built from a drum or drums.  I see some drum smokers with another drum as a firebox and just wonder if those are actually SFB smokers or are they still UDS. Curious!

    Anyone try a Dual Saw

    I have been thinking of trying one of those Dual Saw with the counter rotating blades that can supposedly cut thru just about anything.  Just wondering if anyone has tried them.  Will be using it mostly on steel up to 1/4" thick.
