    Corned Beef Pastrami questions

    Hi all, Decided I wanted some pastrami after I found a corned beef brisket in the freezer last night.  I'm going to soak it tonight, but the question is, how much fat do you guys trim off to prep?  Or do you just rub it and go to town? Thanks!

    Price on Bacon?

    Hi all,  deciding if I want to do my own bacon or not.  How much per pound do the bellies cost?  There's a local butcher shop that I can get a couple skinless 10~12 # bellies for $3.39/#.  Is there something special that I should ask for when getting them?   I really need to get away from the...

(Bless her :) )  Anyway, I gave them a try, and although not too bad, I thought they needed a little tweaking. There really wasn't as much smoke flavor as I thought they could have.  ...

    So I've been neglecting my smoking duties as of late, and decided to grab a few racks of baby backs last weekend.  Everything went as normal, and when I opened up the door to add some wood about 1-1/2 hours in, I noticed black "flecks" on top of my little beauties.  I thought "gee, that's odd"...

    Where to buy?

    Hi all, I found a Masterbuilt GS40 on Amazon for about $200 with free shipping.  I see many of you have Masterbuilt XL.  Is there a difference between the two?  Where do you find the XL's?  Masterbuilt's website doesn't even have either one of those listed, unless I'm just blind.  Any info...

    Trixx here checking in!

    Hi all! I stumbled on this site, and after losing about 2 hours reading threads, I had to join!  Just getting amped up to buy my first smoker, until now I've been using a buddy's upright masterbuilt bullet once in awhile, so I guess that makes me a NOOB.  I grill at least 3 ~ 5 nights a week...
