One time I made beef jerky marinated in Mountain Dew. It tasted like Dots.

Since my jerky thread never took off/got turned into a jerky boys thread I'll ask this here:  Anyone ever tried that little jerky place in Le Roy,  KS called Luther's?   It looks a lot like the jerky I used to get the some locker in Emporia...   Guess I'll just order some and see if it's similar because that stuff was so good that it still haunts my dreams.

Luther's jerky is great. Maybe the best.

Not sure, yet. I'm going to look around for the next few weeks. Probably go to Lowes and Home Depot this weekend and see what they have that I like.

My dad has an electric that I was not impressed with. I think I would like charcoal the best but I'm open to gas.

I don't want anything too big but would like to be able to put a slab or two of ribs on it. 

I also would like to spend less than $500.

ya there's really no reason to not get a WSM if you can have a coal smoker.

I don't know about where you live but Lowe's in Dallas carries Oklahoma Joe's smokers

horizontal smokers that have offset fireboxes that can also be used as grills

I can do everything from charred rare steaks to smoked cheeses on mine (that's a pretty damn good range)

It is big but under $5oo it is hard to find something that can do so much

Well, I live in the Dallas area. I will check those out. Thank you.

i've heard more than once that the Okie Joe's that Lowe's/Home Depot sells are crap (cheap welds, crappy thin metal used, fall apart) that are made in China.  not what they used to be.

Interesting, I got mine years back before they were bought out.  Same people that made them before they sold now make "Horizon" that are sold at Bass Pro and can't be bought for much less than $1000

The one I saw looked similar dimension but did not have quite the same feel so I don't doubt the truth in this

So I'm clearly not the best photographer but this Boston butt had the best smoke ring that I've produced yet.  I received word that distant family member had passes.  So rather than eating the meat I simply tested it (for science) and sent it to them.

Need pro tips on how to grill fish so that it doesn't fall apart on the grill. Do those fish basket things work well?

BGE die hards swear they're the devil. If I were doing it again, I might give the knockoffs a closer look.  The one you posted looks cheap as crap though.  Is that plastic?

I'm not sure if this is the same one I just saw at Lowe's but it's the same price. $300. The one at Lowe's was not plastic.
