We do them slow & low for about 2-3 hrs! In Needles we did them for 6 hrs.! We were drunk & forgot about them!

I was going to say 2-3 hours typically for my st louis cut ribs on the top shelf... Someone (maybe you) told me that WallyWorld has a stainless steel dish drying rack that works well as a rib rack for multiple slabs, I havent checked that out yet... YET...

I rarely do pork butts for pulled pork, I would rather have them sliced into steaks and slow roast them for 2-3 hours/sauce/DONE... I find that the pork shoulders/butts dont really get the smoke penetration all that great and i dont care for the heavy black crust on the outside when they are finally done... I do like pulled pork, it's just not my fave...

I was telling MrDenton (Greg) that my barrel was cut for a cast iron barrel stove door on the bottom and allows too much air flow so I didnt have a real good idea of how long these guys will cook when set up properly (like yours)...

I honestly dont think I have more than $30 in mine total and that was with new weber brand grills inside...


I have dubbed mine the "hobo grill" Im kind of partial to the rusty "patina"

I picked up a 4' piece of band iron at home depot to make FOUR of these grill shelfs, put them in with carriage bolts and I put in the top tabs to help locate the weber grill lid... There are four, 90 degrees apart inside the barrel, I dont have a very elaborate coal bucket like Hud crafted, but i will soon now... THis thing is all nasty inside with ash bcuz I turned it upside down to empty it out before putting it in the back of my wifes truck so I didnt make ANOTHER mess for me to clean up... Sorry for the bad pics...

YOu could easily just use some 1/4 or 5/16 carriage bolts/nuts/lock washers to rest the grill on and skip the band iron grill shelf, just rest the grills on the ends of the bots... That would work just fine, they would have to extend inside the barrel about 1 1/2 or so, I would put them in 90 degrees apart...

I just use 1/4" x 1&1/2" bolts with lock washers & nuts for the grill suports! I also use #9 flat expanded metal for the basket. A little pricey but will last forever! The hogs rings work good to hold it together without any welding! The pizza pan on the bottom catchs your ash's! Still looking for the photos of my 1st barrel! Sorry, I put 15 lbs. of charcoal in the basket & cooked for 12 hrs. & had charcoal left over! What I do is close the vent in the lid on top & close the intake hole or holes & kill the fire! Saves alot of charcoal that way!
