    Easy Dino success

    I've learned from some of the fine folks here that smoking patients is definitely a virtue. Turns out it's easier than expected. Fired up the smoker, did a light trim of excess fat, loaded on the 50/50 salt & pepper and into the smoker on low for 2 hours. Afterwards bumped it up to 275º and...

    Anyone Heard From Robert Lately?

    Was wondering about him just this morning. I haven't seen anything from him since the last showdown he helped with. Sure hope all is well Robert! @tx smoker

    Wrap or No Wrap for Ribs

    Spares can get done in less than 6 hours depending on the smoker temp used. For spares or St. Louis cut ribs I lightly spray with canola oil, add the rubs we like and smoke at 245-255º. Usually they get done (clean bite, not FOTB) around 5-5.5 hours. Each rack can be different. I have wrapped in...

    Over Night Cook Fails

    I've been posting on each of these threads for quite some time. Definitely agree there needs to be a sticky for "My smoker died". For the most part these are usually inexperienced users but regardless of experience each case comes down to not thinking through what could go wrong and applying...

    Traeger Ironwood shut off on overnight 18 Lb brisket cook

    Good news is you figured it out and still had good eats! It's definitely Russian Roulette to blindly do an overnight smoke without taking the necessary precautions to ensure a smoker temp drop will alert you. Test it to make sure before turning in.

    Recommendations for first online Brisket purchase

    Take a look at Piedmontese or KC Cattle Co (vet owned & run) Maybe take a short trip up to Creston, Oh and Whitefeather Meats. Home of the Bearded Butchers.

    Power went out danger zone

    Well, definitely a rookie learning moment. Always check the temp. 10p-4a (6 hours) @205 suggests it should be fine as it most likely reached 140º within the 6 hours. The guide above is a very good thing to bookmark. How do you know the smoker grate temp was really 205º? Never, never trust a...

    Another ‘my smoker died question’

    Yup, we all keep reading threads about another new smoker having experienced a shutdown durning an overnight smoke. RULE #1: if you are going to smoke over night be prepared with a minimum of a 2 probe thermometer that measures the grate & meat temps PLUS sets off an alarm on your phone that...
