Newest Old Country Pit - Smokehouse Vertical

I’m sure it’s a starter bag. I wouldn’t buy a cord of wood on my first few cooks either if it was my first time.

understand that but we have to make sure our brethren have the knowledge-

I didn't know I could buy aged wood off craigslist for about half the price of what it goes for at Albertson's. you can buy it per stack too
 
Found a cover that fits Old Country Smokehouse pretty good.

I know it has been mentioned in this thread that these things can be awkward to move. Anyway to transport it laying flat in the back of an expedition?
 
Transporting it.

I would defiantly recommend a pickup truck to transport it. Being so heavy, it will most likely leave a mark on what ever its slid into. I left a nice 4ft scratch in the back of my buddies truck bed, it had a bed liner in it, but still scratched the crap out it. So, a support block of about 10'' is needed to rest the top of the smoker on, when laying on its back, otherwise it will teeter on the grease drain on the back.

are you going to keep bumping all the old country threads forever??

are you on their payroll?

Im just asking.
 
I’m kicking around the idea of getting one of these or a insulated cabinet.
 
Pulled mine out of winter storage Saturday and smoked some spares. I was in a lousy mood and didn't feel like a big fuss so I seasoned them with KC rub a Buddy gave me. Ran the smokehouse at around 250-275 and smoked the ribs till they had good color. Wrapped with foil and SBR for about 45 minutes. Unwrapped and slathered with more sauce and let them go for about 20 minutes. They came out so perfect. Juicy and came off the bone easy. The Smokehouse is my all time favorite smoker. So easy to drink beer and and throw a log on every 30-40 minutes. I usually flip what ever I'm cooking once since the bottom browns faster than the top.
 
I am planning to buy one of these. I have run through this thread but maybe I missed it. Is there a cover that fits this thing? Academy sells covers for the O/U and the offsets but apparently not the Smokehouse.

It looks like this one would fit but it's out of stock everywhere online.

The closest Academy is over an hour away for me so I'll be calling first to see if they have several in stock for me to choose from. Don't want to drive all the way there and find out they only have one with bent doors or bad welds.
 
GetChaOne. :heh:

I think I need to get commission for these things. I've gotten 6 people to buy them, just on the sheer purpose of doing their own sausage, alone. Doing other stuff on them, is just a bonus. lol

I have been using the heck out of mine, and rockin' like a champ. I'm so glad I found this group. :)
 
Hey all, I just joined the forum...stumbled on it while trying to find out info. on this smokehouse which I got from Academy last week. I have a couple jobs so I don't have time to sift through all of the threads but gotta say, it's my first stick burner; been smoking with pellets for years but excited to take it to the next level. Couple questions; planning on seasoning it this weekend, using Canola oil, etc. Are you guys using anything on the outside to protect it? I'm in southern MO and we have some humidity. Just wondering if there are any recommendations. Secondly, a neighbor gave me a Digi Q he didn't want (older guy) couldn't figure it out; I'm assuming its probably not worth the hassle toying with on the OC smokehouse but wanted thoughts if anyone has experimented. Lastly, are most folks using charcoal to start and then moving to sticks...guess I'm just looking for some experience here...as if we were having a beer and you just gave me the couple minute low down on what to do and what not to do....experience pays and I'll be happy to pay it forward. Thanks in advance, Johnny
