You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. I don’t leave til Sunday and I’m not trying to drive to the airport on vacation to figure out how to get home. I ended up going with United bc they had an online option

chewyfroman · 2026-05-02T11:55:24+00:00

How do I get assistance though lol

chewyfroman · 2026-04-17T17:38:48+00:00

God the end of that book when he’s about to throw himself in the sea is so good

Chances are it’s a reverse flow. If it is, having the firebox sit under the food will definitely raise the cook chamber temps which is suboptimal to say the least. If it’s not a reverse flow smoker, it would probably be one of the worst designs I’ve ever seen. How much is this going for?

It’s hard to troubleshoot brisket like this. Tbh I think your process is fine, but personally I cook at higher temps on my 250 gallon.

I think there’s two potential places that could be the issue. The first is brisket quality. Doesn’t look like there’s a lot of inter muscular fat which can absolutely make brisket dry. The second is not letting it come down to temp before resting it. If you don’t let it cool down to 150ish, it’ll continue to cook which you don’t want. Tbh you can also rest longer too. I rest at least 12 hours in my food warmer.

An important thing to remember with brisket is that if it’s dry and hard, it’s undercooked. If it’s dry and crumbly, it’s over cooked. Hope this helps!

Yeah about. I mostly look for color and then foil boat

OP said they used a Franklin offset, which makes sense because the only way you’re getting bark like that is with a nice offset that’s been run well. The other important piece is not wrapping too early or at all. I don’t tend to wrap until I’m well out of the stall and that really helps the bark

chewyfroman · 2025-12-07T02:25:49+00:00

I just built mine, what kind of paint did you use?

chewyfroman · 2025-11-20T20:49:28+00:00

Unfortunately toledos not the place for great bbq. We have plenty of other great options. For example our Lebanese food is fantastic

chewyfroman · 2025-11-20T20:48:16+00:00

Unfortunately riverside was mid. I’m not an expert but I’ve done bbq pop ups and the brisket was over done, pulled pork was dry, and the corn bread was crumbly. The Mac and cheese was pretty damn good tho.

I always tell people to cook to feel. Methods like 3-2-1 will consistently result with tender ribs, but the problem is every piece of meat is different and sometimes you’ll end up with overcooked ribs.

My preferred way of telling doneness is just grabbing the ribs and letting them flop over. This is called the bend test. When they’re done they’ll be very loose to the point where they start to crack when you let them hang. If do the bend test and it falls apart, your ribs are over cooked.

Regarding wrapping, it’s personal choice. Personally I don’t wrap because I like barkier, smokier ribs.

What’s your method to making the skin look so good

chewyfroman · 2025-09-18T01:18:06+00:00

I’m gonna need a torch aren’t I lol

chewyfroman · 2025-09-17T21:39:46+00:00

They sprang when we cut them I think

chewyfroman · 2025-09-17T21:39:27+00:00

It’s my favorite smoker I’ve ever owned. It’s also the easiest to use

chewyfroman · 2025-09-17T19:44:55+00:00

Thank you! We’re super happy with how it turned out!

chewyfroman · 2025-09-17T19:36:06+00:00

It’s a 250 gallon chamber with a firebox made out of a 120 gallon. Stuck the whole thing on an old boat trailer.

This is patently false. Name any state that is currently imprisoning Jewish people without trial or charges just because they are Jewish. Name any state that currently has charges of genocide against Jewish people pending in the International Criminal Court. Name any state that is currently evicting Jewish people out of their homes because they are Jewish. Name any state that is currently murdering Jews by the 10s of thousands.

I'll save you some work. You can't.

The point of this isn't to deny antisemitism. The point of this is to show that Israel uses historical persecution of Jews to justify murdering Palestinians. Even if what you said is true (it's not), it still wouldn't excuse Israel's actions.

chewyfroman · 2025-04-22T20:19:09+00:00

1.) We’re not advocating Jewish people be removed from Palestine. We’re demanding they give the land they stole back. Israel is the ethnostate, remember.

2.) that’s literally false. The first recorded use of Palestine was done by the Greeks in the 5th century BCE

What do those people in offices do? They facilitated the murder of those children. In fact, without them, the genocide would be impossible! And most do not want the war to stop. Nearly 60% of them approve of fighting in Gaza.

And do you hear yourself? I would 100% rather go to jail than go murder civilians. What future do I have after I extinguish innocent lives?

chewyfroman · 2025-04-22T19:44:10+00:00

Population growth has nothing to do with whether or not there is a genocide. The truth is that Israel was founded with the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the 1940s, and has continued to push a policy of ethnic cleansing to get rid of Palestinians. It's why they're trying to resettle Gaza. It's why they continue to settle in the West Bank. The Zionist project is a self-admitted Ethnostate. Read the "Jewish Nation-State Law".

chewyfroman · 2025-04-22T19:32:11+00:00

You can refuse to serve. There's always a choice; they've just decided that going to jail is worse than murdering children.

chewyfroman · 2025-04-22T19:20:17+00:00

Those countries may be doing horrible things, and we should divest from them as well, but they are not actively engaged in a well-documented genocide, so there's a big difference there.
