Glad to hear you're getting the Fiery Furnace going. It's a shame to see a good pit go to waste.

Looking at the photos, it isn't clear how the air flows. Just based on the photos, I was surprised to hear that the temps were so even. Can you tell us more about how it works. I got a thing for smokers these days.

Yep. But, the only problem I have is fridge space to store them until cooking time and prep area. Minor logistics.

Wampus, I have an injector like yours but the feed tube is much smaller and the check valve seems to clog a lot, rendering the whole thing useless. Could you say where you got that? I have gone back to my spitjack for now

Looking great!

Hopefully it'll waft on down to Bloomington and I'll get an idea of what I'm in for tomorrow!

A little behind on updating.

This was at about 6 hours in (so about 3 hours ago)....

Hummin along...

The kids helped me clean out and reload the trailer with wood. Loaded with (from left to right) apple, willow, beech, cherry and oak with a couple of logs left from what Dan had on it (I think hickory?):

Ready to foil...

Nice color on all. They were all sitting somewhere between 140 & 150......

All wrapped up....

I really cranked it up after that. Got it up above 300 and let it rock. Everything was done about 2 hours later (or about an hour ago). Everything went into and completely filled up my coffin cooler.

Getting ready to head to the church in a bit!

Right on schedule!! WOOT WOOT!

Got mine from http://www.pitbullsupinsmoke.com/. I didn't order online. Danny was actually at a competition that we did last fall in Cleveland, GA.

One thing I can surely tell you is that you HAVE to strain your injections. If there are ANY solids at all, you're done. That's what I like about the Chris Lilly injection. After the salt and sugar dissolve, it's all liquid. I ruined one the first time using it by trying to inject a brisket without straining. DONE.

That thing is a monster!

I strain them, but apparently not enough. Thanks for the link, they look awesome!

Me either. I strained my brisket injection 7 times last weekend and still killed my Up In Smoke injector. Bought a Spitjack and am loving it, but the auto fill was nice.

I know Dan is smiling seeing it get used........

Wampus · 09-27-2013, 06:42 PM
