Thanks again, every one who asks how I learned gets the same answer. tvwbb.com and practice. Great when you get to enjoy the results of your practice lol.

Just saw, Jim's post and as usual he is right lol. Now I need to find a place like that around here.

Yeah, I will not go crazy with it. Will clean it up a bit, not quite sure what I do to the handle yet. I checked out that site with the history which was helpful. Thanks

So I have been looking to buy a cleaver but this week I was cleaning out the barn for my Father, ( he usd to be a Chef and grew up in the restaurant biz) and stumbled upon this A Foster Bros 2190 cleaver. Still figuring what to do to clean it but it is pretty damn sharp, no dents or nicks on the...

Dog Star BBQ took 1st in ribs, 1st in Brisket, 2nd in chicken at the 6th Annual Hartford rib off. All on 2-18's and a 22. I use Kamodo Joe lump and Wicked good.

Nice job, congrats on your first. Don't be afraid to try different techniques and see what works for you. My preference for butts when time is no issue is target 250 degrees, I like the bark better at that temp. I rarely foil, not a fan of what it does to the bark. When I am around 195 I start...

Thanks Rich, I have two passions in life, dogs and BBQ. Each so satisfying in their own way. I am a founding member and do the behavior/training stuff for Dog Star. Equally satisfying when I can incorporate the two. Used to be Maple Leaf BBQ but when we started the rescue I changed the name...

Thank you Guys, I don't know how these teams that compete all summer do it. So much work but it was worth it.

I have been doing a local competition for charity the last few years, this year we finally broke thru. 1 st in ribs and brisket, 2nd in chicken. I just wanted to thank Chris for running this site and all the folks here who share recipes and techniques and just help out in general. I have give...

I am looking for any advice for temp control on the 14.5. I have done 1 smoke and really had trouble with temp spiking and control overall. I am dialed in on my 18.5 and 22.5. I loaded the ring with lump and used briqs to ignite. I was doing chicken thighs and was afraid I could not bring it up...

Thank you. I will be doing ribs for Mother's day but using the big boy. I will get a family photo up this weekend.

I've had the 18 for a few years now, got the 22 last year, just picked up my 14. Now no more borrowing my buddies smoker for comps. Ribs on the 22, brisket on the 18 and chicken thighs on the 14. Can't wait to fire it up.

Thank you, I pick up my new 22.5 Wednesday. Can't wait to fire that bad boy up.

Rick was on point, the stock pan in the 18 is too deep. I use an empty pan with foil, on overnight smokes the stock pan would hit the lump. Thanks for the input.

I may be biting the bullet and getting a 22.5. The first thing I did with my 18 was get a brinkman pan. Is the pan in the 22.5 too deep? Have any of you switched out the pan in the 22.5 and with what? Thanks, Eric

My goofball Junior My Foster Jackie O Apollo, worked with this sweet boy for months while in a shelter, finally found a loving family, something about this dog...

Thanks for reviving this Jim, love Maddie, such a sweet face. Beautiful Husky Mark, brings back memories, I used to race dog sleds way back when. Pete Woodrow is a Beauty as well. I will have to post some new pics of Junior, he has grown a bit since my last post. Also my Foster Jackie O, sweet...

Cody was a great looking boy Mike, sorry for your loss. One day you will feel its right to get another. When I had to make the dreaded call with Slash I vowed I would not get another dog for a while. First overnight smoke I did without him I realized it was time. 1 month. No human has done an...

Also depends on how you light your smoker and how long it takes to bring the temps up. I use a foiled pan, minion method and hit the coals a bit with a torch to bring it up quickly. I find doing this I get to a thin blue smoke quicker. I toss the meat on right away but don't start the timer till...

Yes Tony, I keep the door that separates the cabin from the cargo open so he can stick his head up front. I left him in there while I was picking something up and he found a new spot to hang out. Clint this is my third Rottie I have owned, will have nothing but. Big babies, they get a bad rep...
