    First disappointing smoke

    Sue to increasing popularity of our annual summer shin dig, I recently purchased a Dyna-Glo vertical offset charcoal burner.  Everything went together well and the seasoning/break-in burn was pretty much as expected.  A little door leakage and a tad hot compared to what I am used to with my old...

    Looking for some input on a "competition"

    So, I am looking to "cash in" on my smoking abilities, and my fire department affiliations, by promoting a local fire department "smoke-off" competition.  Something that would be a fundraiser for a burn camp or something along those lines.  My concern at the moment, which is hopefully where you...

    Partay!

    Been a while since I have been on here so i thought I would post the menu upcoming for 4th party (smoker-wise anyway).  Last year I did 30# of pork ribs as well as a mess of ABT's.  While the ribs turned out great and everyone left full, I am going for a little less labor this year lol.  20-25#...

    Test run for Thanksgiving

    Well, after a very busy month I am finally up and smoking stuff again.  Decided to do a test run on a whole turkey since i hadn't done one whole yet.  Picked up a 11# bird, mixed up a cajun brine and soaked it overnight.  Got it started, after an interruption that distrated me and ended up...

    Who you callin' turkey?!?

    Since I am sort of a clearance freak when it comes to the store, I have a 3 lb. turkey breast, and 2 2# angus steaks about 1.5" thick.  Decided to smoke the breast with just a rub and I rubbed and cut up the steaks into cubes and threw them into a foil pan.  In addition, potatoes and onions with...

    Adding sections to an ECB look a like

    Well, i found another one of the smokers I bought, a Grillpro as i find out now, and am contemplating buying it for extra grates and such. The thought also came to mind that i could add another center section to the stack for some more capacity, but am not sure if that would really work.  In my...

    Pre-partytime prep

    Well, I have apparently hooked the kids on smoked stuff, so this friday we are having a party for the oldest who turns 15 and wants pulled pork and ribs.  Yay!  I am figuring on 20# of pulled pork and 20# of ribs.  My only problem is size limitations of my smoker.  I know...rough problem....  My...

    Wow...I finally figured out how to post Qview!  So, here ya go.....Sunday we walked our county fair parade for my political campaign and I decided to treat my walkers to some pulled pork.  Turned out well I think, and there were no complaints.  Actually I heard nothing but lip smacking so I take...

    Finally!

    Hi to all!  New to the forum, which has already been alot of fun to read, and wanted to introduce myself.  I am Mark from Indiana.  I have spent the last ten years working at an apartment complex that did not allow any sort of outdoor cookers.  But I have now broken free from this mean spirited...

    Happy!

    Well after ten years of suffering with apartment complex rule of no outdoor cookers, I have moved on. I picked up a 16" something or other charcoal smoker at the lumber yard on clearance (not worth it at full price but hey $10 almost cant be beat).  Decided that ribs would "christen" it.  Had a...
