    Hello from Spain

    Hi everyone, I’m Venezuelan currently living in Spain. I started grilling 6 years ago when I began my business Los Parrilleros. I moved here 2 years ago and at this time my interest about barbecue grew up, I began reading books and now I have a propane tank to convert it in an offset smoker.

    I’m trying to go to the U.S. for learn in a good barbecue joint.

    I opened my business here for catering at the moment but I’m working for make it a restaurant. I really appreciate if anyone wants to follow me in “losparrilleros.es”

    P.D. Sorry if my English isn’t good.

    Welcome to the Pit from Huntsville, Alabama, US. Glad to have you onboard!

    I cannot give much advice about converting a propane tank into a smoker, but there are several folks here that have done that. As an engineer I understand the steps involved, but have not personally done it, as I am using a small offset smoker my father (also an engineer) had one of the guys in his shop weld up back around 1985. I love everything about BBQ and outdoor (and indoor) cooking in general, and look forward to seeing what you are cooking up across the pond in Spain. I imagine the folks there will appreciate the Venzualean flair you add to your BBQ as well.

    One of our very active members Ahumadora builds smokers. He might have some advice.

      Thanks for your recommendation! One of the things that I love about BBQ is all the history about it. An offset smoker from 1985...wow I was born in 86 and the smoker is the same.

        Welcome to the group. I have a good buddy from Venezuela who currently lives in Amstetdam. Not sure if this place in Caracas is still open but had the best steak of my life there Lee Hamiltons.

          Yes! Lee Hamilton was one of the greatest steakhouses in Caracas, I always remember my best t-bone there. Unfortunately is closed or I think it is.

            Salutations from Hays, Kansas! I imagine someone will
            be along with answers to your question.

            I will also say your English is much better than my Spanish. Looking forward to seeing and reading about your cooks.

                  Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker


                  This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp?s dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin?.

                  GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone


                  GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily rmoved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

                  The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


                  The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                  Finally, A Great Portable Pellet Smoker


                  Green Mountain?s portable Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker is one mean tailgating and picnic machine. But it?s also gaining popularity with people who want to add a small, set it and forget it pellet smoker to their backyard arsenal. And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.

                  Heat Resistant Gloves With Extra Long Sleeves Hold The Hot Stuff

                  If you?re using oven mitts at the grill, it?s time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder?s gloves. They?re heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned.

                  The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


                  The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
