    Advice needed for venison shoulder

    I read you can cook deer shoulder as you would a boston butt. A buddy dropped off 2 of them and wants me to smoke them. I just dont want to mess them up. I see some say cook it up to 200 and a bit higher and it will fall off the bone and others stay DO NOT go over 150 IT.

    OKJ Highlander question

    I have a WSM and really like it. However, I have an itch to use an offset just because it feels more traditional to me. I've been reading and the OKJ Highlander comes up a lot for a good model that wont break the bank. I know you have to mod it a little bit so that wouldn't be an issue. My...

    Venison tips?

    A coworker is wanting me to smoke some venison sausage for him. He already has it processed and ready to go. Any tips for this? I am going to be using my 18.5 WSM. As far as woods I have on hand. I have pecan, cherry, and oak left. I was going to try and hang them off the top rack with some...

    Temp drop overnight

    I have a 8lb pork shoulder rolling. This is my 3rd over nigher. So, it looks like the WSM may have been sitting around 190 for a few hours. Do you think this will affect the meat at all? I know pork shoulder is pretty forgiving I have just never had it sit that low for that many hours. I'm...

    Brisket success

    So I bought a smaller $30 brisket and hoped for the best. I did a small injection, did not foil it, and sprayed it every 2 hours or so. I have got to say.....I have never really had brisket before and I don't know if this is the taste of success or if there is something beyond this. If it gets...

    Small brisket flat questions

    So I bought a little ol' 3lb brisket flat to practice with. I don't wanna dump $50 into a full sized brisket and ruin it so I figured I would start small. Any tips from you long time smokers? I have a WSM and was thinking of smoking it at around 250-275. My main thing is.....from what I have...

    Turkey on Weber 22.5 OTG

    Any suggestions on making a nice bird on the ol Weber? I was thinking of a bird rack sitting in an aluminum pan and just keep basting it every 30 mins or so. Maybe cooking it around 275 degrees with cherry wood.

    Consumer Rub

    What are some of your all's suggestions on the best overall rub from the store? I've been toying around with a simple 1/2c brown sugar, 1/4c paprika, and 1tbs of salt,pepper,ground mustard,chilli powder,onion and garlic powder, and some cayane but I think I am bored of it already. It almost...

    Why do my ribs suck!

    I'm currently using a Weber OTG. I use one weber coal holder with two bricks to separate the heat. I also foil the bottom grate so the air flow has to come up thru the coal holder and around to hit the meat. I try to keep the temp on the dome thermometer around 275-300 because I know they are...

    My version of a smokenator

    This site is one of the most helpful sites for outdoor cooking. I have read on here for a month and decided to just get a Weber OTG so I can still grill if needed. Well, here is my version of a hillbilly smokenator, hehe. I have been running on this same batch of coal for 5 hours and it has not...

    Weber 22.5

    So, I think I'm giving up on this ECB. After the mods it works great in "optimum weather", but I live in Ohio and the weather goes from perfect to annoying in 10 mins. I was wondering, I need a good grill and I see people getting the smokenator for the Weber 22.5 inch grills. Has anyone has...

    I wasted $25 in ribs!!

    So, I'm a bit new to smoking and I had been using some lump coal from the local grocery store here (Kroger) thinking it was a good grade. All of this time I have had trouble keeping the temps above 200 was due to the lump coal. I bought some Stubbs coal and just one chimney full kept it above...

    BB temp question

    So....is it ok to smoke ribs under 200 degrees? Does the end result just mean that you have to cook them longer to get the same results or does the higher temps have an actual purpose? The only reason I ask is.....this cheap ECB is annoying to babysit and keep above 220. It likes to float aroun...

    Brinkmann ECB

    I have the cheap Brinkmann R2D2 looking smoker to learn with. What would be the best thing to use to fill the gap between the body and the lid? I pumped some fireplace sealant around there and cooked it on but it broke off an hour later. Do they make a moldable gasket to rig in there?
