    My, how things have changed.

    Dutch, Willie, Thanks for the encouragement. I'm really enjoying myself there! Also, I'm glad I could bring the flower pot smoker back into your life, Dutch!

    My, how things have changed.

    So, I'm not new, I just haven't been around for a few years, navy stuff, being out to sea...away from my smokin' pro. I am now in Colorado, out of the service, going to Johnson and Wales to study Culinary arts Food Service Management. So far, I'm loving every minute of it and I have gotten to...

    haven't been here in a minute

    Good morning! I've got the smoker warming up and about ready to throw on the butt. I'm excited to be at this again after my long break of being super busy for Uncle Sam. Q-views will follow.

    Smoking a ham, need help

    Welcome to the forums! I've been inactive for quite some time due to occupational requirements, but I'm back! In my experience and from threads I've read earlier on this very subject, a cured ham is, in fact, already cooked. the only reason you need to heat it is to warm it up for eating.

    Turkey issues - Confused

    Woops! I did the same thing last year. A bird under 10lbs is going to cook in about 2.5-3.5 hours on the smoke. This is a pleasant discovery to make after you woke up at 5 in the morning to eat at 1 PM.

    first time beef ribs

    had a question about beef ribs and their preperation. what's everyones opinion on seperating the ribs? do you put the rack on whole, or do you seperate the ribs, roll em in rub, then put em in the smoke. Also, does 3-2-1 work with these guys?
