    Help! Flame creeping back!

    I lightened up the photo, zoomed in, and marked the rough location where its occurring. I haven't take. The time to really take a close look when it's happening, as I'm usually more concerned about shutting off the gas. And it did happen again tonight, after I did my initial post (after about 2...

    Help! Flame creeping back!

    Thanks for the reply. But isn't the spot where it's catching fire a 'natural' leak point? It's a tube inserted into another tube, not sealed.

    Help! Flame creeping back!

    I have a Masterbuilt Pro smoker. My apologies on the lack of technical terms, but recently the Location just past the hose connector (where the one tube enters the other) catches fire. I'll come out to check on it and flames are shooting down from that area. I'm guessing the propane is catching...

    Petite pork shoulder - where did I go wrong?

    Thanks everyone! The iGrill probe was in it the entire time, so I never did a 'secondary' probe to get a feel for how tender it truly was (or in this case, was not), so that's definitely something to consider for next time. The IT did hit 205* while it was resting, but there's more to smoking...

    Petite pork shoulder - where did I go wrong?

    Purchased a pre-marinaded ("Santa Maria") petite pork shoulder (2.5#) yesterday for a smoking today. This isn't my first shoulder, though I've never purchased and smoked this particular variety before. However, came out way tougher to pull than I would have expected. Here is what I did, can...

    Hey all!

    It worked, but I need to "redo" it. I got the Bayou Classic valve that has been noted on here, and I opted to attach it just off the smoker instead of off the regulator - I was in a rush and went to the local hardware store instead of the gas store. Had to buy 4 additional parts to get it in...

    My first pastrami (corned beef)

    Looks like the best shot didn't make it in the original post:

    Hey all!

    Roll call post. Been visiting the site for about 9 months, decided to officially sign up. I got my first smoker (MB dual fuel 2 door) last fall. I'm in the Pacific NW and don't have a permanent location (cover) for my smoker, so I used it for only a few months before the rains forced me to store...

    My first pastrami (corned beef)

    I used the knowledge presented here for my first attempt at pastrami. 3.5# point cut corned beef, which I gave a water bath for 2 hours this morning (changed the water once). I used the seasoning packet (did a quick crush in it) + lots of black pepper as my rub. Smoked it at 225-230 with apple...
