Tom,
I've been following this thread with great interest!  If you're smoking something that takes quite a long time (pork shoulder or brisket) do you need to add some source of humidity?  How would you do that with this smoker?  And where'd you score the barrel?
Thanks!
I'll have to take Cap's word on this, I haven't tried to smoke anything like that yet.  I'll get to it eventually. :)

I got the barrel from Al's Seattle Barrel CO, 4716 Airport Way S, Seattle, WA 98108.  (206) 622-7218

Call them ahead of time, it may take them a day to have one for you since you want it before it is painted and lined.  Tell them you want an open head barrel, and a lid with holes in it (it makes it easier).  You can also tell them you don't need the lid gasket, I had to scrape out the new one that they had installed.  And you don't need the rubber gaskets they put in the lid holes either.  Or the ring that holds the lid on.  Well, that's what I would do if I was getting another one.  It was $45 plus tax.

It took me a long time to figure out how to control the temps right, but once I figured out what I was doing it was really easy.  The smoking went well, everything turned out great.  The words "unbelievable", "amazing", and "incredible" were bandied about.  ;D  My neighbor wants me to smoke salmon for him when he goes fishing, I agreed immediately of course. :)

I forgot to take pics though, so I guess it never happened.  ;)

Someone else posted that video link originally.  I think the thread was about bacon.  I tried to find it but could not.

What a cool dog!  My son and I have watched that video many times

I think I posted that originally, but I can't find it either. ???  It's been around the Facebook scene for a month.

Man that looks really farkin with awesome sauce! Healthy too with very little starch.

I'm having rustic pasta- some smoked lamb and mushrooms with basil infused sauce made from the tomatoes picked earlier this week.

I was wondering when you were going to entertain us again with your Farkin' Qlightful BBQ.

Very nice presentation deepsouth!  8)

Looks Fabulous.

For some reason, the photos aren't loading for me. :(

I've got three racks of baby backs on the WSM right now.  I did a chile-based dry rub using toasted, freshly ground anchos, pasillas, guajillos, chiles de arbol, and a few moritas.  I really need to get into making my own BBQ sauce.  Got any tips on where to start, Ron?
