    Trailer Smokers, How Do You...

    I'm curious to know how those with Food Trucks and/or Trailer Smokers handle the long cook times required for smoking meats? Do you/they setup early where you'll be serving?

    Picked up the Akorn Jr. for $74 and I love it

    I love this little toy! I seasoned/cured it this morning. I didn't have to work today. So, I figured I might as well throw something on it and take a spin around the block and kick the tires and look under the hood. The only thing I had in the refrigerator were some Shady Brook Farms' Sweet...
