    Smoker duration issue

    I own a 36 gallon RF smoker. For some reason all my smoke sessions take a lot longer than 'usual'. The first thing you would think of is the smoker temperature might be low. I have used 4 different thermometers, I place them at the food grate a couple inches away from the meat. I have stopped...

    Pork shoulder

    Saturday I have a bunch of friends over and decided to make Pulled Pork Sandwiches. My alarm went off at 4am this morning. At first it is a little rough to get up, but once the fire is on I just love it when everyone else is asleep, it's quiet, slowly it's getting lighter out. Once the meat is...

    422 gallon tanks - reverse flow build

    Hi guys, So i found some 1600 liter/422 gallon tanks for sale. They look very different than the American 500 gallon tanks....right? What do you guys think of the shape of these tanks? They seem longer and narrower. How does that affect it any way? More space length wise, less depth? Thanks...

    Beef shoulder

    I picked up a beef shoulder. Its 13.1kg so 29 lbs. Can anyone tell me if this cold be chuck...? Seems too heavy? I'm going to smoke it today for the first time. I'll cut up a smaller piece to see if it will come out ok since it's not grained. Hopefully still has enough fat. Any tips on smoking it?

    What type of smoker to buy?

    In a couple of months from now me and my gf are starting a catering and 'to go' company. We're super excited!  I am looking for one or two smokers that can support my reverse flow smoker (which isn't huge). As most of you know, starting a company isn't cheap. I got a super good deal on a...

    Spare ribs thickness

    Belly ribs are hard to find where I am from. Baby backs are the common ribs you find if you are looking for pork ribs. I found a couple meat suppliers that are willing to cut belly ribs for me. I already expect them to cut them as thin as they can otherwise they are stuck with the belly that is...

    Freezer burnt ribs?

    This is how I buy ribs in my country. In 22lbs boxes. I have been reading a bit about freezer burn. The top ribs seem to have freezer burn, correct? The frozen water on top you can see in the picture are called ice crystals I suppose? Thanks for the help. Loving this forum!

    Smoked pork neck issue

    I smoked a 3.3 lbs pork neck a couple weeks ago on my reverse flow smoker. I kept the temp around 250F. Pulled it at around 200-205F. Let it rest for plenty of time and started to pull it. The top part was super juicy and just fell apart. But for some reason when I got to the bottom part it was...

    Homemade Texas style rub

    I made a rub for my ribs and did it Texas style. Lots of black pepper, it has a nice kick to it but for most people in the area I live in this will be a tad too spicy. My rub consists 1 part salt, 2 parts black pepper, some paprika for color and a little bit of garlic and onion powder.  When I...
