I tried from the US and it came back with the same response. They may have picked up a virus or have been hacked.

Thanks for the links.

tommo666, do you have a link to the DIY project? I would be interested in looking at it.

I know this is late, but may help in the future. Try lighting coals on one end of your firebox and let it burn across, and as it gets to the other side add unlit charcoal to the side that has burnt out. I would place some charcoal on the lit side to make sure that it will light and work its way back ...

You can but you will need to do it in cold weather. Controlling the heat from the charcoal will be your biggest problem. You may be better off getting a smoke generator that just produces smoke and very little heat. What are you using to smoke your bacon now?

I don't think there is a 3 probe thermometer on the market for home use. You may be able to find a commercial one, but that may be cost prohibitive. You will probably have to buy another 2 probe thermometer.

Be careful cooking by temp only also. I use temp more for a guide as to when something is done. I will start checking to see if something is done at a certain temp, but will go by feel for final test. All pieces of meat are not the same and will not cook the same. I would trust your Thermapen before ...

How big of a smoker do you think you will need? I am using a Yoder YS640 at my restaurant and it is holding up really well.

If you want your ribs "barkier", I would try smoking at a higher temp for the whole cook or raise the temp at the end of the cook. Just like doing a reverse sear on a steak. I cook my BB ribs at 270°F. The take only about 3 hours but they have the bark you are looking for. Spares may take less time ...

I am a member at The BBQ Brethren and it was suggested that I check you guy out. I am currently running a BBQ restaurant in Madrid, Iowa called Saddles BBQ Bistro (SaddlesBBQ.com). We have been open about 2.5 years. I have been smoking for over 15 years, but this is the my first professional gig ...
