    bradford pear ????

    I've used Bradford Pear numerous time for pork, beef, and chicken. It's a great wood for smoking. Light smoke like all other fruit woods. I don't use anything else except for throwing in a few hickory nut hulls when smoking ribs and brisket. Bradford pears are prone to ice and wind damage here...

    Propane Tank Smoker

    Looking good!  As for the handles, if you haven't settled on any yet, I used some 12" stainless bath bars which look great!  You can get them on ebay for about $10 ea.  Good luck!

    Anyone ever use Bradfor Pear?

    I use bradford pear exclusively for pork. It's great. I had a big tree lost in an ice storm about 3 years ago. I cut it up and drug to a brush pile.  Decided to chunk it up and try it.

    New project as a humble beginning

    I'd just be careful to make sure you get all the residue out. Considering the cost of metal these days, you didn't get hurt for $100. I built my smoker grill from scratch.  Used 10 guage metal and mounted it on a cheap harbor freight trailer. I decided to go with propane since I'll use it as...

    To pan or not

    Actually, I like the pan so I can keep the drippings and it also keeps the meat moist, but I put the butt on a rack in the pan. It keeps the meat out of the liquid and doesn't let it get "mushy" on the bottom. Low and Slow is key. 160-180 internal temp. and it's ready to rest and pull. You can...
