the slap-chop sucks and is a piece of garb!!!

I use RO lump myself and also use K briquettes at times but finding I now more and more am using the ro lump for smoking on wsm and for general grilling on the otg. I get desired results- some pieces large, some small-just depends on the bag you get! I just sort and use the smaller ones for a...

I'm presently smoking a pork shoulder under my open carport with on/off drizle and wind and temps around 35 deg and not using the waterpan at all at least for now. Smoker temps have settled to about 260 in which I'm basically wanting 250-275 deg. range. I'm trying to slowly get away from the...

I just a couple hrs ago put on a rack of baby backs on my otg kettle- the 1st time doing this along w/ a foiled potato. I'm using the indirect method.

wow- looks good as just last week-end smoked a shoulder -bought for like .98 per pd around 7.5 lbs. It had bone in it as well. Anyway, I usually do the boston butt but somehow I liked doing this whether it be a picnic or whatever the hell it was! It made great pulled pork- 1st time I fired up...

I hardly use chips "prefur chunks" and yes- I soak chips if using and still keep an eye on them as they will suddenly flame up and cause an inferno and torch your meat.

wow- sounds like a splendid day in the making- should be an enjoyable smoke.

I've used both K briqs and lump with good results on both. My last smoke got over 12 hr burn on 9lbs of lump- smoked a fairly large bos. butt @ around 300 deg and came out very well- same quality as if had smoked at lesser temps.

WOW What happened here? Now that's more like it, you even see foil wrapped potatoes on lower rack in the pic now.

yeah Brian, Was dissapointed w/ thumbnail and having a tough time in posting pics. I don't know why a thumb posted as I like larger pics. Your pics of cherry cola ribs however blew mine away. I also wrapped some baking potatoes in foil and placed on lower rack while ribs where cooking and it...

trying to figure what an esp guitar is? was thinking you meant an old SG Gibson!

all I can say about Mr. Fatty is "wow" looks beautiful. Nice job. I gladly would have bought it had the opportunity! You need to save the pic for your archive.

I'm needing some good idiot proof instructions or a shortcut in posting pics. I have photobucket and the pic is there. Thanks.

I've tried using a can of 1/2 filled beer but really didn't see whereas the beer gave any noticeable flav. increase. I mainly just saw it as a convenient way to hold the chicken upright. I plan on buying a roaster rack as I'm pondering that a beer can stuffed inside the bird actually blocks...
