Charcoal or Gas?

Charcoal ... gas can be embarrassing!

:blush:


Next time, try filtering the gas through the charcoal. This may help alleviate the odor of the gas, thus removing your embarrassment. You may also try adjusting the regulator to reduce volume flow to eliminate noise factor.

I have considered pop-off valves, but filtering through charcoal could relieve the buildup.

I was at the mall today and a young man was selling pellet smokers. I looked them over and they are interesting.

The problem I had with my old smoker was keeping a constant temperature. I sat in the sun watching the smoker while everyone else had a good time.

This machine has a hopper in which you load the wood pellets, set the temperature you want to cook at and you are good to go. Seems like a good thing to me.

I have both, prefer charcoal but gas is cheaper and faster to use

I gave up my smoker when I moved to this apartment in the city. I think I am going to get a electric box smoker.

Charcoal and wood here.

Do any of you brethren compete in the many BBQ events?
I don't compete, but I'd like to drop in and visit, see the smoker and maybe sample the wares.

If anyone is interested I started a group on Facebook called "Solomon's Smokers". It is s group for Masons interested in smoking meat and sharing photos and recipes. If you are interested send me a message and I will add you.

Bro. Hosler,

Don't know how to smoke, nor have a Facebook page. My parents do have an electric smoker. How can I learn to smoke some meat? My mom has done pork ribs in the oven in a bag with BBQ sauce. And we have done a few things on the electric smoker but i would love to learn more.

I learned by watching the TV show BBQ University on PBS. The host, Steven Reichlen, also has a book called "The BBQ bible". That book is a big help. I also read a lot about it on the internet and I watch this web series on Youtube from a group called The BBQ pit boys.

I think though the best way to learn after doing your research is just do it. The more you smoke the more you learn :eek:

No sir, left there in '97. I see you are in Harker Heights - I used to live there myself while stationed at Hood.

Or well, slept there :001_smile:

I once came back from the field and my poor iguana had went mad. Thats a story. I released him into the wild around there...he must be the size of a small dog by now if you see him about hehehehe
