    I think he's cooking a pig in the ground. He just goes overboard......
    Cooking for 1, too.
    But he'll take 6, 7, or 9 of them.
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    @Eggcelsior‌ No sir. I'm building a 80x40x16 shop. I have some great sandy clay on my property so I'm doing my own dirt work. I'm hoping after I complete my current contract with Exxon/Mobil to start manufacturing and selling smokers. I have some very unique designs that I think people may like. Unit 6 that you see in my posts is triple baffled for instance. You will not find this on any other smoker. It's honesly my design. I have a few others as well. I'm currently in the proces of building and testing a proto type that is "tube fired" with a flue velocity that is .5 greater through the cook chamber than through the exhaust. Almost equal to a forced induction design but the fact remains that the unit is naturally aspirated and not forced or semi forced in any way. Velocity is achieved by a restriction "cyclone" in between the inlet and the cook chamber. I really hope that it works out my friend, but only time will tell if there is a demand for such units.

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

  • Well when you build a few and need somebody to "test" them I'll come get mine whenever you let me know. ;)

  • With boneless breasts that size at 400 direct, roughly how long do you keep them on until you flip them, then how long under the brick?
  • I cooked them cut-side down for about 7 or 8 minutes ( thats only approximate-about 5 minutes in I grab the tail of one with tongs and take a peek). Then I flip them to the rounder, lobe side and try to get them pretty close together without touching and put skillet ( cold skillet-not hot, the top is done) then the brick for about 5 more minutes ( or desired doneness). I poke them with my rubber ended tongs to see how they feel, but thermapen would probably be better.

    @SGH-not to hijack the thread but be sure to protect your intellectual property with your smokers.  (Okay to use intellectual and SGH in the same sentence?? :) )

    BTW- great looking chix.

    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.
