LMAO I use a lot of foil, those ribs will smoke like that. I usually smoke stuff right in the grill grates first, then wrap it to finish it, then unwrap to smoke a little more. Except burgers and chicken, I don't use foil at all for them. My former know-it-all brother in law used to cover his entire gas grill with foil to cook hamburgers. Of course by the time they were cooked they were swimming in grease, so he might as well have fried them on the stove in a skillet. I only use wood and charcoal, never had a gas grill, and the grease dripping onto the coals makes more smoke and more flavor. There's a hickory tree in the edge of the woods right by the yard here that's been cut down. It's just laying there, I guess they cut it down for some reason when they put the house here. I'm working on cutting it up, I've been cutting "slices" off of it about 2" thick, so maybe I'll be able to split it. I'm going to put the pieces in the shed and use it to smoke with. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Joey Mack Posted June 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2023 Yes sir. I did use the pan from the beginning.. With these small racks, i leave them on the pan. the grease drippings seem to 'fry' the underside. I dont flip these, just let them sit. I have figured out hot to keep the temperature at around 250-275 degrees.. They did come out good, could have left them on a little bit longer but I was hungry.. As far as wood goes, I have a Maple tree that drops some wood for me, and 2 days ago, my neighbors Oak tree dropped a 5'' by 15' branch in his driveway. he let me take it.. My wife bought me a Battery chain saw from Harbor freight last month. It is perfect for cutting cooking wood. anyway, O.D. It's your fault, and I'm Grateful !! I want to do a whole chicken, or turkey breast next. 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/69/#findComment-533285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I ad almost the same load going 120 miles three weeks ago. Only difference was a bucket instead of the miller head. Put the front chain and binder on, than boss called and distracted me. Jumped in truck and left. 120 miles later I pulled into the job to see the chains and binders laying on the deck, next to my 3/4 full cup of coffee. And nothing moved. When loaded, I do not go over 45 mph. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

tjc transport Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 at 45 i have to deal with all the askwholes doing 90+ in a 55 zone weaving between all 3 lanes like a nascar driver 2 laps down on the last lap. i was never a speeder, because i never worked for percentage, by the ton, or by the load. i get paid hourly. if the contractor tells me i need to go faster i give him my paperwork and tell him to sign me out. i learned a long long long time ago slow and steady wins the race. guys get loaded and speed away. than stop for 1/2 hour each load. than speed back to the job. at the end of the day they say I have to be speeding because they are always 10-15 mph over the speed limit, but i do one or two loads more than them. but the job supers know better. 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
