    Rib Roast cooked too fast! Dinner is in 4 hours. Help!

    Thanks, I don't have a SV available. I have one at home but I'm out of town. I read blasting it on the grill @ 500 degrees for ten minutes will give it a nice sear and keep it perfect on the inside.

    Rib Roast cooked too fast! Dinner is in 4 hours. Help!

    Cooked to 125. Wrapped it in foil and put it in a cooler with some towels. Will it be okay in there for 4 hours?

    Minion Method question

    I am doing a turkey on my wsm. I've done them in the past loading charcoal as needed. This year, I'm considering the minion method. All the videos on this method use kingsford coals. My question is how do you do this without getting the taste from the binder chemicals throughout the cook...

    Help - Turkey not so good - UPDATE

    Did you rinse the turkey after removing it from the brine? I can't remember where I read it, but I always follow the rule. "Always rinse". Did you use Kosher salt? "Always use kosher salt".

    Suggestions for medium size offset smoker?

    So I pulled the trigger and picked up the Oklahoma Joe's Highland. I made a few cheap modifications recommended by seasoned youtubers. I wanted to get a few smokes in before I gave my opinion. First off, I think the smoker is pretty solid. I added some high heat silicon to seal the gaps where...

    Suggestions for medium size offset smoker?

    I watched about 100 youtube videos yesterday, and absorbed a lot of information about the Oklahoma Joe Highland. I couldn't find any videos on the Dyna-Glo model I was looking at. Most of the reviews agree that the Oklahoma Joe is a decent smoker that requires a few cheap modifications (heat...

    Suggestions for medium size offset smoker?

    I've been smoker shopping all day. I'm also looking for a medium sized offset smoker. I am between the Oklahoma Joe Highland (879 sq-in $249) and the Dyna-Glo Signature Series (730 sq-in $316). The Dyna-Glo is more expensive, but I am leaning towards it because it felt more durable and the...

    Smoker stopped overnight

    I started 2 8lb pork butts at midnight last night in my MES. Woke up at 5am to check on them to discover a dead smoker. Smoke box was about 130 degrees, butts read 108. I threw them in the oven to try and salvage them. Should I be concerned about serving this food to guests?

    Who's smoking what for Christmas dinner?

    I smoked a 18 lb turkey for the crew working the midnight shift at Coast Guard Sector Baltimore tonight. It was a huge hit! I used my MES 30. Simple brine for 24 hours, then I let it dry for 6. I rubbed it with olive oil and Claude's Chicken Dry Rub (discontinued sadly).  Smoked it with...

    18 pound turkey too big?

    I pulled out the turkey after 2 hours of smoke just to be safe. Into the oven @ 350 degrees.  I hit 140 at about 3 hours. Timing was perfect. Total cook time, 4.75 hours. I let her rest for 25 minutes, then carved it up and threw it in a crock pot. Midnight shift ate good tonight! Everybody...

    18 pound turkey too big?

    I've got a 18 lb turkey in the smoke box right now. My plan was to smoke it 2 hours at 225, then transfer it to the oven for 3 hours @ 350. Max temp on my smoker is 275. I'm at 1.5 hr and the temperature is at 117 (thigh) and 115 (breast). From what I read, the turkey needs to be out of the...
