    Oh my gosh...that tri tip roast turned out amazing! Super tender and flavorful! It's my new favorite thing to smoke. Thanks for your advice. Sorry no pics...the day got away from me.

    Turkey leg questions

    I brined 3 of them overnight in Tip's brine, and I just seasoned the other 3. I wanted to see how much difference the brining makes in the flavor.

    Turkey leg questions

    Hi - I smoked some turkey legs today, and they reached IT of 165 in 2 hours. Does that seem too fast to you? I was expecting closer to 4 hours. So...I've pulled them, wrapped them in foil and a towel, and put them in a cooler. How long can they safely stay in the cooler before serving? I was...

    Tri tip roast advice?

    Hi - I'm going to smoke a tri tip roast tomorrow as a trial run for Easter dinner. I've read quite a few threads on this site in preparation, so I think I'm ready. I've rubbed the roast in EVOO and some McKormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning, with a little extra salt and pepper. It's wrapped and...

    Brining question

    Thanks for your great info, folks! I love this site. I'm going to skip the chicken breasts entirely and save them for Easter Sunday. That makes it easier. I'm doing a trial run tomorrow on a tri tip roast because I want to do one on Sunday for Easter (along with a turkey breast.) I'll post...

    Brining question

    Hi - I'm going to brine some turkey legs to smoke tomorrow. I plan to use Tip's Slaughterhouse Brine. I am also going to smoke some bone-in chicken breasts tomorrow as well. Can I make the brine tonight and put the turkey legs in overnight, and then put the chicken breasts into the same brine...

    bone-in turkey breast and chicken leg quarters with q-view

    Not sure about the smoker temp. I'm using that smoking probe/temp thing that Todd sells, and it seems like the temp remained around 235ish the whole time. Some temp fluctuation, but not a whole let. Don't know why the legs didn't get a lot of color. The flavor was great! The turkey turned out...

    Chicken Leg Qtrs with Q-View

    Wow! Your leg quarters have such great color! I smoked leg quarters this morning and they look pretty anemic, especially compared to yours. I am also smoking in an MES 40, and I had the temp set to 240. Mine reached 165 in about 2 hrs 40 minutes. Any idea why mine are so pale? I didn't...

    bone-in turkey breast and chicken leg quarters with q-view

    I just pulled the leg quarters out at 165 IT. They cooked a lot faster than I expected...about 2 hrs 40 minutes. I've covered them in foil. What's the best way to keep them until dinnertime, around 6:30? Refrigerate and reheat in low oven temp? These didn't get quite as brown as I expected. Any...

    bone-in turkey breast and chicken leg quarters with q-view

    The pellets seem to be burning well this time. I let it burn for a longish time this time before putting it in the smoker and that seems to have helped. So far so good!

    bone-in turkey breast and chicken leg quarters with q-view

    Hello - I'm trying out my second turkey breast and hoping for great results. I'm also doing leg quarters which have always been pretty failproof so far. Here's what I've done so far.... Brined the turkey breast overnight in Tip's brine recipe. This morning I rinsed the turkey and patted it dry...
