Hey Charles I live in garland right next to firewheel town center. Were yall affected by the tornadoes? Nice build.

yea that is where they had the other plugs. They didn't have any stainless or nickel. My vents get pretty hot.

Mac: I am unsure if hangers are zinc plated or not but would assume they are not. Heard for years zinc heated up could cause dangerous fumes. I think realistically it wouldn't hurt unless heated much higher then a BBQ but I am not taking that chance. Roger: They cost something around that. I...

So I go to my local Home Depot and they only have zinc plated plugs... I have always heard do not use zinc or galvanized metal in a cooker. Always use stainless steel or nickel. The guy at dept says try online. So I find nickle plated steel 3/4 hole plugs and order them online. I had them...

I bought 2 plugs to plug up my vent I use my party Q. I ordered them from home depot so picking them up at the store tonight. I went with the 3/4 nickel plated steel. I hope the 3/4 size fits the 18.5 as well!

good looking pup! I had 3 golden retrievers growing up. My mother would only allow females, we had Brandy, Casey and Callie. Great dogs!

Thanks for all of the advice. I am running by the Asian super market this afternoon to start my cure.

I need to invest in a slicer...

Every year AmazingRibs.com does their annual turkey photo contest. I submitted a picture and took 4th place! In the picture you will see my WSM. I learned everything I know about the WSM on this site! I believe 4th place won me a thermopop. Link to page

thanks for the advice guys. Yes, I think a lot of us owe Bob a thank you for his bacon expertise!

Bob, After you cure the belly you take belly out, run under cool water from faucet and run. Then you soak the belly? Would you guess you soak for 10 minutes at a time? 10 minutes and then change water. Soak again for 10 minutes? How many time do you do that?

Before I did my first bacon run I read the entire Bacon made easy thread. I know it was talked about a little bit but I have salty bacon questions... I am about to pick up and cure two slabs of belly. I am using the bacon made easy recipe with tender quik. Last time the bacon was way too salty...

If I have this correct chuck ribs come from the bottom of the ribs near the brisket. The plate ribs come from the other side of the ribs near where you get your ribeye steaks. Plate ribs you are getting a more fine grain meat with less of a fat cap. Chuck ribs are more brisket like. Tougher to...

I agree with Chris. I use water on long cooks to keep a moist cooking environment and believe it helps the meat absorb smoke and increase smoke ring.

Good for old man Manning! Would love for him to win the big one and retire! I am also a huge Demarcus Ware fan. Would be awesome for him to get a ring.

Did you trim those up a lot? My best guess is they are beef chuck ribs.

I've had my maverick 733 or about 2 years now. In all that time I have only destroyed one probe and it was a stupid user error. I tried to yank the probe out of the meat but tugging the wire not the actual probe... With that being said I have never felt the need to water proof or seal where the...

Great looking entries so far. I have been so incredibly busy this year but I plan on entering for sure! It may be a superbowl afternoon cook but i'll have to step up!

chicken and sausage are great starters. My advice to any beginners with WSM is to do a shorter cook with cheap meat! I wouldn't recommend a 16 hour brisket cook day 1!

Interesting article on Saudi Arabia and oil prices. I work in Oil & Gas and its an interesting time to say the least...
