Wow! It's been a long time.........

[BigNugg]

since I last visited. I barely got my feet wet and then my world got incredibly crazy. I finally finished construction on my new trailer pit, and I am currently in the process of having 2 of my dry rubs and 2 of my BBQ sauces released for retail. Also I have been practicing for my rejoining of the competition circuit. I took this season off, gathered my head and tweaked a few things, and I am now ready to start doing BBQ competitions again. Anyway, enough about me, how have all of you been? Here are some pics from my latest adventures! Enjoy!

I like the design of the pit. Plenty of space on the bottom.

Nice pit.. is that a drain bucket in the front? I like the stacks... What was the drum from?

Yes thats my ash/drain bucket. The drum was an old water tank that was used on a farm, after sending it out to have it sand blasted to remove all of the rust, we turned it into a pit. The stacks are 5" Peterbilt exhaust stacks....:lol:

Oh and btw thank you all for the kind comments

[xgrafcorex]

very nice! i just ate lunch, but i'm hungry again! good luck with going retail, and with the bbq competitions. looks like you are off to a great start. :)

[chuk hell]

F'n awesome pit! GREAT PIX! I must smoke meat now!

[DevilDuck]

That's awesome!!! I don't do a lot of smoking, but really good BBQ (besides across town at Powdrell's BBQ joint...) is pretty hard to come by. So, to "quench my thirst" for some good BBQ, the wife and I found this down at Wal Mart for $99.

Yeah, I know. It's propane. But, I can put my meat in there and not even open the door for hours on end. Makes for a restful night when doing some brisket!!!

[xgrafcorex]

DD - ehh propane or not, looks good. all that really matters is that it makes smoke.

so... bignugg.. when are you hosting the first THP BBQ? :lol:

[texas blues]

DD...what time is supper bro? I'll bring bring Alaskan Amber and the Resonator. Cheers. TB.

[chuk hell]

Alright!

got the smoker loaded up with yardbird and 2 racks of spareribs right now. Woot!

That's it folks. It's official. You read it here first. Soooooo Grafcore, you up for a serious roadtrip? I've got a big ass station wagon that'll just about carry a short ton of beer!

[xgrafcorex]

$99?? That sounds like something my cheap a$$ can afford. Let us know how it works DD.

[DevilDuck]

Oh, it works awesome!!! I've done 2 pork shoulders, spare ribs, baby backs, and 2 briskets on it. It takes awhile to get used to. I highly recommend getting a remote meat thermometer as the front thermometer is about 20F warmer than the actual temp.

Welcome back Nugg, long time no c!

Holy shit dude! I am now officially jealous of your protible grill!

[BigNugg]

I'll be waiting........make sure that beer is COLD!

[BigNugg]

Thanks. The smoker is nothing fancy, it's actually kinda ugly, and it leaks a little, but it's mine. It took me 2 years to get it from rusty ol water tank to what it is now, and it still aint finished.

[AKButch]

Your pit looks just fine to me. If you get tired of it, lemme knowand I'll come hook up to it!
