Re: Grease Fire

Thanks to Dirtytires, I checked below the baffle plate and could see some seepage along the sides. After cleaning the cc I added additional weld along where the BP is welded to the cc. So far so good and thanks for the suggestion. The inside of my air tank has a rough surface and I think this might ...

Re: Beef ribs

Glad they turned out great. I love them! I just bought some at Costco and if you go in and ask for short ribs that have not been cut, they usually have them in the cryo- pack. They usually come to plates to a pack three bones to a rack. They only had prime the last time I purchased them, but it was ...

Re: Grease Fire

A water tray will catch some drippings but it is not going to prevent grease from dripping into your firebox. And it definitely is not going to magically put out a fire.... Clean out your pit and remove the racks. Grab a hose and put a half inch of water in your baffle plate then open the firebox d...

Re: Grease Fire

Does it have a shadow plate under the BP by the FB? A couple of members here were telling me on my 1st build to add a shadow plate, that it would help reduce the initial heat on the BP next to the FB. The slope to the grease drain would also help. It doesn't have a shadow plate and it would be very...

Re: Grease Fire

Do you get any drippings out the drain? I'm wondering if I need a slight slope in the BP. When I built this I used the Smokerbuilder plans, but it didn't say to slope the BP

The smoker was running for 6 hours (beef ribs) and everything else went on based on what I though I n...

Re: Beef ribs

I love the beef ribs as well. The texas style beef rib can't be beat.... There are two types of beef ribs that work the best for long cooks. There are the 4 or 5 bone ribs that come from the chuck and then there are the plate ribs... sometimes called Dino ribs. These will always be 3 bones and could...
