    Thermometer placement

    Hi guys, no you don’t cook in the stack but I guess what some of the guys do with them is calculate the difference from rack to stack and adjust the thermometer to the rack temp.

    38 hour burn and counting.....

    Sorry so long to reply! My drum actually found me. I placed an ad on craigslist in the wanted section "looking for a straight sided barrel" and in about 3 weeks got a reply. The company it came from was an injection molding company. I believe the last one I saw on here said it had silicone in it...

    38 hour burn and counting.....

    Well I finally got started. I drilled 9 - 5/16 holes for racks and 2 - 1 7/16 holes for intakes. About 5:00 Monday I started a fire for burnout that I burned full on for almost 3 hours before covering. Last night I opened the two bung holes and still had a good 10 inches of hot coals. Talk about...

    Let's have fajitas!

    A craigslist guy from Texas said his were sourced locally and had silicone bags in them also. Maybe its the same type of business. Thank you very much!! Dale

    My Stepson's girlfriend is Mexican from Arizona. Been cooking for her family and kids for 30 years. Nothing like authentic foods with authentic ingredients. She says that's the biggest problem up here in the northeast, no Mexcan grocery stores. Gets it shipped from family in Arizona. I can't...

    My barrels for uds

    Thank you, although I don't think shipping would be reasonable to the northeast. I'll keep looking. Just picked up a "H" drum in nice shape though. Dale
