    Weber Kettle, amazed at ease of cook and results

    So I’ve been in the meat smoking hobby since 2002. Didn’t listen to the advice of the salesperson who was pushing me to try a bullet as my first smoker. I picked up the BBQ Galore cheap offset smoker. In 2011 I upgraded to a Lang 36 and have been rocking that ever since. 2 years ago I finally...

    Cabela’s grinder size?

    Hey group, I’m looking to jump into beef grinding for burgers and then possibly try my hand at making sausages. Based off some YouTube videos I’ve been attracted to the Carnivore models by Cabela’s. Which model should I be looking at? The .5 or plan for something greater. I’m not a hunter and...

    Lone Star Grillz 24x48 with vertical

    I don’t have any experience with anything vertical let alone attached to a offset pit. I’m curious if the vertical portion is usefully for cold smoking? I’d like to dabble in cheeses at some time. https://lonestargrillz.com/collections/smokers/products/24-x-48-offset-smoker-with-vertical

    I smoked a brisket yesterday, mmMMmm! (no q view)

    I throw in 1 pound of brisket in my beans and I need to make a batch of beans next week and I only had about 2 ounces of brisket in the freezer, so I had to make a brisket. Did something I've never done before, I separated the flat & point before cooking. I forgot how long the flat was cooking...

    Lang 48 & 60 owners help needed.

    Deal from the wife is sell the 36 and I can get a new cooker, been looking at all sorts of pits again not just Lang but the price of a Lang is hard for me to beat. I'm interested in bumping up to a 48 deluxe or 60 not sure on original or deluxe on that yet, although I find myself leaning towards...

    Anyone build a fully insulated offset smoker?

    My welding skills are non existent, I actually sold my Lincoln Idealarc due to other issues, but I've been tinkering with the idea of trying to build a fully insulated offset. Anyone done this? I'm thinking it would allow a new welder like me to not have to use such heavy materials and thus...

    Been craving food so I'm cooking a smoker full *pics added*

    Loading the Lang 36 up with 20 pounds of pork butts, which is already cooking, going to add a package of probably 20 chicken legs, and then 4 medium sized tri-tips. Gotta have enough food to last till my next cook!

    Sauce making problems GRRRR!

    Ok so I'm absolutely irritated at this, this is the 2n time I've attempted to make sauce. The first one was a Carolina Vinegar sauce, that was supposed to make about a cup and a half, when I finished, it was maybe half of that or less and had a really strong vinegar taste. No right now I...

    Brisket, Pastrami, ABT's Q-View

    Aight, 250*F, brisket 7 hours super tender but to seems a bit dry. Brisket hit 190* IT at about 5.5 - 6 hrs but it wasn't tender so I left it in till I felt the thermometer go in nice and easy. I thought it was only a flat, and I wasn't really paying attention during trimming, but nope there was...

    So I'm right in the middle of cooking my pastrami and a 7lb brisket flat when I go to use my thermometers and they both have dead batteries! So I called target got rude service and was told they "don't sell thermometer batteries" the guy wouldn't even check for the type of battery I told him...

    My California brothers & sisters

    Anyone a member of the Cal. BBQ Association (CBBQA)? I was thinking about joining but wanted to hear from someone who might be, or has been, in it. On a side note I saw there is a comp at Knott's Berry Farm at the end of the year, I think the wife and I will go spectate.

    Planning on doing my first pastrami tomorrow

    Anyone use their pastrami in a hot sandwich instead of a cold one? Just wondering if it came out delicious, I think that's what I'll do with mine.

    Teach myself to weld or take courses at college?

    Hey guys so after watching all of you build your pits and trailers I was thinking it would be pretty friggin cool if I had the know how to build a pit myself. A community college somewhat local to me has a full on wielding program that is obviously geared towards a career in welding they offer...
