My offset makes for great smoked meat, but it's a pain in the arse as it is now. Very soon, it's going through a major makover. New insulated fire box instead of that flimsy drawer type. Heat/smoke shield of some sort to force reverse flow. Move stack from far side to box side for the reverse flow.

I'll be able to attach a fan/thermo and not have to babysit it so much. Less danger of heat spikes etc.. Just need to find the time to get it done.



Oh, and speaking of comps, here is the type of thing I see at them. Taken by me at a comp.





What we use(all homemade by our team leader),

I would hate to have a whole mess of deer and try to use a Big Green Egg to make jerkey and summer sausage and the like.

I've smoked some great jerky on my egg. With a BBQ guru I can keep temps at 165-175 all day.
Buy an egg or Komodo and don't ever worry about another grill the rest of your life. My dad passed me down his Lg model and its 15 years old and he stepped up to the XL

I have a masterbuilt that does a great job. My turkey for Thanksgiving turned out to be one of the best i've ever ate smoked. I cook a lot of things in it and I can't say I've ever over cooked something.

I've got a batch of salmon jerky in it now.

We had a judge say he took points off due to a trash can being close to our set. Like we can control that kind of shite. I don't miss the Memphis in May stuff.

not a fan of the memphis style judging either. we didnt do real well with the presentation, but had 2 judges say we had a top 3 rib. wished they would find a way to bring back a bbq festival though. maybe this time they won't put someone in charge who couldn't run a sandwich shop.
