Almost a blank canvas

So Bubba's smoker was a 500 gallon propane tank that had been cut in half- his boss took one side and Bubba kept one side for himself.  He mounted it on an old jet ski trailer and started a firebox (no door).  Nothing else had been done.   The tires were dry rotted from sitting in the pasture so long.  The inside of the tank was severely rusted.  It had no tow lights.  It only had one tow chain, and it was held together with a padlock.  There wasn't a trailer jack so it took a tractor to lift it to put it on my truck hitch.

But Bubba did have some expanded metal that he was going to use for the grill and also a quarter sheet of flat metal he was planning for the door- oh, and a 4" wide chrome plated smoke stack.   He said it was all the materials I would need to finish- which I suspected wasn't true, but I had big dreams and even bigger expectations.  I made the deal and limped down the road at 15mph, grill in tow to buy new tires and get it home.

Biscuit test

So learning more about creating exceptional BBQ, I came across something called a "biscuit test".  In short, you can find the hot spots on your smoker by smoking uncooked biscuits and looking at the color variations.  Here is how mine performed: Loading them up: Notice the even color across the top- that is GREAT!!!!  Plus one point for the reverse flow!!! As I was taking them off, I noticed the bottom of the biscuits were significantly more browned than the tops . So I loaded a second round: Then I flipped them and this is what I had: Put closer together for easier color comparison: So my lessons learned: 1) I'm getting really consistent temperature coverage across the top- no real hot spots.  YAY! 2) It cooks hotter from the bottom than the top.  That means I need to cook my briskets fat side down. 3) It's hotter closer to the firebox as shown by the darker browning... not a lot different, but s

Version 2.0 released

I've been cooking on the grill for nearly 2 years now... and for the most part it has been utterly amazing in almost every way.  That said,  I did find 2 issues I needed/wanted addressed.  Issue #1 - I ran out of wood during my long cooks.  Fortunately, I had more in my pickup, but I needed a bigger wood box on the trailer.  To accomplish this,  we squared off the front and added more room for firewood on the trailer.  Issue #2 - there wasn't enough work space on the trailer itself.  To improve this,  we added an 8 ft stainless steel counter with double sinks.  Since I had the sinks,  I added a 10 gallon freshwater tank and 10 gallon gray water tank and a battery powered rv water pump.  Now,  I simply turn the faucet and I get water on demand... and I have lots of great workspace that is reasonably easy to keep clean.  Enough talk... here are the pictures:

I love the grill more than the smoker

So the smoker was working nearly flawlessly now, but you don't often see smoked hamburgers- and it's even more uncommon to see smoked steak.  There are simply some things that must be grilled.  I knew I wanted the grill to be large.  One of my previous (retired) grills let me cook 32 burgers at a time and it was great!   I wanted the ability back to cook a LOT of burgers at once.  I also knew that controlling temp on a charcoal grill can be harder than a gas grill- but this rig is going to be "a naturale"... No gas here!  After hours and hours of research, the best design I could find was a Santa Maria style/Argentine style grill with some tiny modifications/enhancements.  This style of grills has a wheel that turns and lifts the grill surface away from the heat source if needed.   We planned for a drop front to allow easy access to coals too.  This lets me easily move coals from the firebox to the grill, or from the grill to the firebox. I ordered the parts from Amaz
