My new BBQ
BTW - the welding blanket does wonders... Use less fuel and hold temps better.

Here is my smoker I built with the help of thesmokering.com (they have awesome pit building calculators). Its a offset stick burner (coal and wood).
I have a digital pit controller that you literally set the temp like a oven and the fan controls the temp in the pit to the exact degree. It will also twitter you when it gets high or low alarms (when you need to throw another piece of wood on) and when you food gets to the internal temp you set it for.

Ive got my amana 5 burner stainless out on the deck, and I am about to whip up 5 gallons of my secret award winning marinade for a party I cook for every year...and the tri-tip is ordered (**** North CA, dumb *** stupid butchers up here ruin the best cut of meat on a cow. You want real tri-tip it comes out of Southern CA)
I think this year I might build myself a cold smoker, depends if I have the time.
(and yes I am a propane bbqer, I like how even I can get the temps, and don't get hot spots in the grill)
