Does anyone do any smoking either competition or otherwise? I just bought an entry level pit that I am excited to start using.
Thats awesome! I wanted to make my own but my tiny MIG welder wont handle it.I do it as a weekend hobby. Built my own reverse flow 80 gallon hybrid patio model out of an old air compressor tank, scrap metal, and a sheet of 1/4" plate. An older pic of mine, I've changed out the chimney pipe, and added an actual exhaust out the roof for it since.
I might as well get the brand revelry going, I have looking at Kamado style grills/smokers, what brand are you guys running or should I just spend the money on truck parts:roflmao:. I have been using a Char-Giller Akorn but its about to give up after 3 years of hard use.
Yeah my uncle swears by those things. They are too rich for my blood! From what I have heard they are very much worth the money though. I had a friend that knocked one over, that would suck to reimburse someone for!I have a XL green egg. Could not be more happier with it. Can grill at 600 and turn around and do a low and slow cook.
IMO there is nothing better than tri-tip over red oak but that's just me.

Word. Just picked up a fatty prime tri tip from Costco that I'm gonna cook over a wood fire next weekend

Used this recipe last time I did one & it's the real deal. Might just cook it tonight...
The "Santa Maria style" rub is just Suzy Q seasoning for the most part. Obviously I can't give away my secret recipe
Anyone use a Traeger grill?

I have. They are super nice and really easy to use. I went with a traditional wood burner for the sport of it!
Been wanting to get a smoker for over a year. I never can decide what I want. Parts of me wants the easy set-it-and-forget-it electric smoker. I'd most likely use that the most. The alternative would be a charcoal smoker that I could also grill on. Almost pulled the trigger on an el cheapo today at Walmart just to see if I'd enjoy smoking.
I few guys that follow me on Instagram know I enjoy cooking, especially grilling, so I think I'll enjoy smoking too but honestly can't see ever spending 10+ hrs babysitting a smoker. Just too much else to do to spend that much time "cooking" and drinking. ��
