Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Fireboard Drive, 3 DigiQs, lots of Thermapens, and too much other stuff to mention.
Tonights turkey. A little over 6 1/2 hours. Its was extremely flavorful and juicy. In answer to your question Marauderer, that is my homemade smoker. It has 24 sq.ft. of grill space and took me 5 weeks to build. I have a full build thread on another site if you want to see more, and thanks for the complement Huskee. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/1...w-vertical-box

I have a Master Built Extra Wide Propane and a Traeger Junior Pellet smoker. I have a Charmglow 4 burner propane with a sideburner for looks. 2 Maverick ET-732's, one for each smoker, a Thermopen and an Epica instant pen. I am struggling between the differences a gas smoker were chips and drip pans are used vs a pellet smoker which has neither. I use grill grates to reverse sear and to grill steakhouse burgers.
Growingup in the St. Louis area I prefer Budweiser but have started to drift to Sam Adams after the sale of A-B to InBew. I have more Remingtons than Winchesters, Colts and Kimbers over the plastic double stacks, Browning's, Benelli's and Remingtons for turkeys, ducks and an occasion spirits oh and stray strangers. Yes I do drive Ford Trucks as predicted by the NRA a few years back.
I've been smoking for a few years bow, trying many different cuts of meats and mostly dry rubs. I've followed Meathead's and the staff from Amazing Ribs recommendations and they opened my eyes at what I've been missing for most of my life. I have smoked Beef, Pork, Poultry and Fish all with great success. Ive cooked a couple of different bean dishes, made controlled burn hot sauce from the peppers from my garden as well as pesto from the basil I've grown. Today I reached another pinnacle, a Ribeye Roast with Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Crust. If you haven't tried a premium cut of meat, do so if you can afford it. I paid 10 $/lb for this one as a practice run for a Christmas dinner. Babe Ruth (hank Arron) never hit a home run like this one. My thanks go out to Meathead and all the folks from Amazing Ribs who have given me the guidance on equipment, techniques and patience. Here are a few pics from today's smoke and the controlled burn hot sauce I cook up each week

Awesome post Bill! Glad things are going good from what the folks here have been able o share. I just wish there was a nice sliced shot of that roast! It sure looks good....
Let's get to work on that signature...if you need help just holler.
Hi all, I'm new to The Pit here (and BBQing, in general) and I wanted to share this weekend's cook. I've got a friend who recently started selling his homemade empanadas via goodeggs.com so I threw some of those on the grill along with some seasoned scallops atop a Himalayan salt plate for a quick Saturday night grill. It was my first time using it and I was afraid of getting it too hot for fear of cracking it, but reading online says it can get up to 700°. Sunday was a 10-hour BBQ in the Weber kettle with 2 slabs of short ribs. I've been trying to adjust to the cooler weather and making slight adjustments since the temperature has dropped the last couple weekends. But honestly, I still don't know what I'm doing to be confident enough in my decision-making. Sometimes it turns out great, other times not so great. That's why I'm here! And luckily the ribs turned out nice and juicy this time.

Thanks guys! The short ribs are based off a recipe from Adam Perry Lang which is nothing short of amazing. I've spent almost every weekend since April working on it so I'm a bit of a one-trick pony at this point. Thank god I'm not tired of it!
Getting ready for this weekend already. Going to be smoking 11 Boston Butts with an average weight of 9 pounds each. This will be the most butts I have done in one smoke. Should be fun. Also making a large batch of my Sweet n Tangy Mustard cider sauce.
Jon have you tried pulled chuck? Your plan sounds great btw, except I'd use BBBR. Cow Crust is more for a meat like a prime rib you're cooking to medium rare and searing on the outside.
You wont regret it... I did a pulled chuck with BBBR a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome and I am still thinking about how good it tasted... definitely will be doing another soon!
