I've kept busy this weekend, after buying a new GMG (Jim Bowie) pellet smoker, I've been itching to break it in. I started with a couple salmon filets the other night, no photos but I was more than happy with how they turned out. I made a couple loaves of bread yesterday, with a sourdough...

I'm sure you're aware, but there are a number of different racks out there for cooking ribs. Of course you'll still be lacking space if youre wrapping them all during your cook. Then again, even if you are wrapping, who's to say you can't stack them or even finish in the oven, after you wrap...

I had a feeling you were using that recipe as a base, because that's exactly what I do. I used to make my own, which was somewhat similar, but nowhere close with the depth of flavors. I saw his and tried it a few years back, and LOVED it. Now I use that as my base and tinker around with it just...

I was thinking the other day, what have I not put on the rotisserie yet? TURKEY!!

I did the same this morning, for a batch of chili I'll make in a couple days. 3 poblanos, 6 jalapeno, 2 red bell peppers roasted, then pureed with a couple sweet onions that were sautéed in butter and bacon fat. I prefer a less chunky chili, hence the puree. I like to knock that out and let all...

I did file them a bit but I think the tear on at least one (if not all) of the holes, crept a little further than the seal of the o-ring. Once I find some bigger gaskets, I'll take it apart and get some photos.

Very good point! I hadn't even thought about that, but definitely a HUGE long term factor. Thanks.

Knocked out the final few connectors on the kettles today, and tried a test run, pumping some water through each. Unfortunately, I did find a couple leaks. The knockout kit I was using, tore a little on a couple of the holes. I even tried to put o-rings on both sides, in hopes that if one didn't...

Delivery today brought me a new hop spider, some fittings I needed to finish my pick up tubes, and my new custom coil. This thing is beautiful compared to the one I massacred. I should be able to finish my kettles this weekend. Can you tell which one was made by pros? (Thank you Stainless Brewing)

Very nice. I may need to bounce some questions off you later, if you don't mind. I'm building something similar, and haven't quite ran through the specifics on wiring and gas plumbing yet. I might get to that point in a couple weeks though.

A little more progress with the kettles this weekend

I've read similar, especially effective if you fill with water completely, and can seal the tube. The water inside supports the tubing, not allowing it to kink or lose shape. Much too much science for me. I hit the easy button yesterday, and ordered a new custom coil. I'm not afraid to admit...

I'll drink to that!:beer:

I think after selecting the custom preferences with the dropdowns on that site, it comes to about $96, for what I'm looking for. Shame I already invested probably $125 for my coil and bender, but at least I tried. Worth the extra $$ to not have another "Hulk SMASH!!" experience with this bending...

Seriously considering a do-over with this now: http://www.stainlessbrewing.com/Coiled-to-customers-request-035-304304L-Coiled-Tubing_p_30.html

Is there anyone local that knows how to bend this tubing, because I sure don't. I'm trying to get the 90s on it to attach to the comprssion fittings, but I'm just destroying this stuff. Only have about 47ft of beat up coil to go....

I can definitely relate to that. I started out solo, knowing no other homebrewers, researching and building everything all by myself. In the beginning, i couldn't get enough info, and ideas on setups and gear. I think I dove into all grain after a couple batches. It was nice when I found a...
