I thought about the white sauce using the Horsey sauce and I have the cookbook so I may try that. The three pepper sauce is not the Arby's sauce (should have titled the thread differently) and I don't think it's available nation wide. On the nutritional page on the website it's listed on the...

I have some friends who are co-owners of the local Arbys. Due to some "technical" issues at times they give me various items. Mostly it's ketchup (1.5 gal at a time) which I use in many of my sauces but in the last week I was given 1.5 gal each of the Horsey sauce and Three Pepper Sauce...

Like Mike I cook year around. I live a little northwest of him and it gets a little colder here. The only difference is I will go through more fuel which only really affects overnight cooks. I use wind breaks year round, three sided and no top until winter when I use four sides and a top...

I'm gonna second Big Mike, any suggestions for larger gloves/ I bought the ones from TexasBBQ but they were too small.

Thanks for the link Fred. It worked. Nice to see 4 Legs doing it, they're pretty good, used to live an hour from them. If you want to exchange #'s, call Genesis Development where I work. The 30 teams was from the newspaper article and it will be at the campgrounds again. And I will have a...

Lakefest is KCBS this next year and expanding to 30 teams. Chad you ought to come . Fred and I were set up across the street from each other. Good times. Haven't heard the acts for the concert yet. Fred, anymore info on the cooking class? Haven't got anything from Kelli yet.

Just trying to get an early word out in the bbq dead zone that is NW Iowa. There will be a judging class in March 2012. Registration is open (I signed out as soon as I got the email) so here is a link for all the information: http://www.visitstormlake.com/article.aspx?id=1036 Will also throw...

Johnson still have temp swings, 3-4 degrees. I use them in keggerators as the temp swing don't bug me and the keg mass produces little temp change anyway. For fermentation I use a Ranco. You can dial it in to 1 degree increments. I get mine from here...

Looking sweet! Would love the plans also if you get the time (email in profile).

I don't always clean out the ash from the bottom, depends on length of previous cooks, if I used lump or charcoal, etc but always stir the old fuel to clean off the ash before putting fresh on.

Question for those using the pellets. How much are you putting into packets? There are a few wood types I would like to try so will be ordering some.

I use 12-14 spread out, lights fast in the chimney and does fine getting up to temp.

Will keep you in mind. I tend to comp by myself though my wife helps out on more local contest. Any help I would have would be friends (I'm originally from McPherson) but nobody with any comp experience. I'll bring the homebrew also

Looked good, always hard to get the first comp under your belt. Any thoughts for future comps? I'm doing the When Pigs Fly next July in McPherson KS next year.
