    This is going to be a difficult one.... need help buying new smoker

    Back story. Bought the best stick burner I could afford at the time (600$ from home depot) it's a leaky bitch that being on a second floor pipe railed patio fluctuates enough for me to be drunk before a pork loin is ready. My q has always turned out great thanks to a lot of recipes from you guys...

    Need a little help....

    How much longer do you think?  Was going to just do the Tenderloin so I could get it done by lunch without having to start at midnight lol.  If a 5 lb tenderloin is done in 3 or 3 1/2 hours, I would expect like 6 or so for 10 lb bone in?

    Yeah messed this one up a bit

    Didn't use a drip pan, any ideas on gravy with no drippings?  Also it is wrapped up with a ton of juices, would injecting all of the juice back into it help at all?

    So 13 lb turkey, kept the offset at 300-315, everything I read said it would be at least 3 hours, so I didn't check temp for the first 3 hours just spun it around once.  3 hours and check temp, breast at 198, the only hope I have is that I injected the shit out of it and when I checked the temp...

    HELP!!! Turkey for tomorrow starting now.

    I ended up with the pre-brined kosher turkey, (also whole foods) would you still brine it with some additional flavors or just concentrate on the rub/injection?

    Houston Smoking

    Hey guys, had a smoker now for 4 weeks and have done about 10 different smokes with all kinds of different rubs and trying to control the temp of a very leaky grill.  I bought the River Grille from home depot thinking for 500$ it had to be pretty solid but it really isn't.  I am able to maintain...
