***Official BBQ / Smoker Thread***


Recommended Posts

Spent all afternoon seasoning the smoker and fighting the rain. It was already wet from pulling it home so I figured I might as well fire her and play. 

I'm already starting to develop a feel for the way the smoker reacts......of course the weather will change that. Rain and 65 today.

Either way I am pretty happy and especially for the price I paid.

Yes , warmer box can double as a vertical smoker. Then you have the main 30x60 bbq pit with reverse flow baffle etc and on the back end is a large grill box with 22x30 and 16x30 cooking surfaces. 

I think I could pretty easily cook for 200 people on this thing and an all day party. Could do a 160lb hog , 10 racks of ribs pork butts and a shit load of grill food at the same time etc etc

Nice!  Veggie oil?

veggie oil? for seasoning you mean?

I am going to just spray some pam on the grates when I'm done with this burn. They are pretty clean with little rust if any at this point

Yeah. I use a spray bottle of veggie oil and coat everything up nice.  Grates walls bottom....everything.  Cook it for a couple of hours at 200 then spray again and raise temp to 250 then let then let fire burn down.

Yup , I been looking at one of those yuppy pressurized veggie oil sprayers. I think I'll order one up and use that to keep it oiled up

The firebox on the bottom left flows through the bottom of the pit below a baffle plate and then back around over the cooking surfaces and out the stack. It also heats the warmer box that is directly above it. The direction of the flow of heat under the baffle and back around the meat classifies it as a "reverse flow" smoker.....it acts as a sort of convection oven if you will. Its all the rage so I read :lol: 

The large grill box on the back is a separate grill. You would cook on that no different than a big weber only I will cook with stick wood on that as well vs charcoal. Cooking burgers and dogs and especially steaks over stick wood is fucking magic.
