Puff, wood of course… I am a stick burner at heart. I have blessed 15 of the 25 with my presence. I am going to show my age here… Here are some of my comments on some from the list… in no particular order. (1)Coopers – I have been eating at coopers for over 30 years. They are unique in the fact that...

That looks great RC. I hope to have one myself one day.

Thanks Puff... if we did break a rule... I will take the heat for it.

Puff, would you mind posting the link to the top 25 places around Austin? I would like to read. I live 25 miles out of Austin and have ate at nearly all the BBQ joints… with the exception of Franklin's just can't find the time to stand in line.

How about some pics RC

If you are building a smoker, then I am not sure the advantages of using a rotisserie. Aren't rotisserie used when the heat is directly below the meat? If it is an offset or RF smoker you should have consistent heat through out the CC. IMO.

Ok... so after a couple more fires, I have got it dialed in on the size of fire I need to get it up to temp and stay there. I need to upload some new pics, as I have the thermometer installed and only have about a 2 degree difference between each end of the CC on the smoker side. My wife says it loo...

Puff you crack me up. I was reading that post thinking doesn't he work for himself... promoted to something you will fail at.... you have to much perseverance to fail. Just look at all the smokers you have built.

Puff how did you know!

I live just outside of Austin and I agree it is stupid. The yuppies have taken over the Austin area and they prefer to smell their favorite weed burning over some good Q.

I must say I like giving Frank a hard time. But the shirt he sent me is a nice shirt even if it doesn't have a pocket. It is well made and my wife will let me wear it in public.

Oh come on... couldn't we at least talk Frank out of one of those T-shirts without a pocket for the winner!:P

I also think that the longer the knife is the easier it cuts the tender cooked brisket. I like a 10 or 12 inch chef knife.

Great video!! Nice T-shirt would be better with a pocket o on it.

Can you give more details on the Hot and Fast process?

My father always said a shirt without pockets is like a wife without T!+$... useless. Tried to keep it PG!

CRS I have that circle cutter but when I try to use it my plasma cutter acts like I don't have a ground. Any tips for use would be appreciated.

Thanks Frank... An XL t-shirt would be great.

I ordered some gauges, but nothing shows they have shipped... any idea when they might ship?

I got the counter weight's on the doors, along with the handles. I did a test burn, and think I am not getting enough draft. The smoke doesn't clear up. but if I open the door just a crack it clears right up so, I am thinking I need more draft. I am going to do a couple more test before I make any m...

I am also nee to welding had always done wood working. I also had trouble seeing no matter the shade. I did a little research online and think I figured it out for me anyway. Online they called it arc mesmerization. I focused on the arc. I found if I look below the arc if pulling or above the arc if...

Thanks... I am looking forward to that as well. Hopefully next weekend. Need my thermo to ship from HQ.

I was able to get the firebox latches welded on last night. So firebox is complete. Moving to CC to install BP next and then a test fire.

I like to put a heavy pepper light salt rub on it cook fat side up at 225 to 275 until internal temp of 130 pull it off let rest and then slice. I have not tried the sear... will have to on the next one.

I like tri tip on the smoker if you can find one.
