    Need a brine recipe.

    I mixed up a brine recipe last night that one of the kids uses on his birds. Went to use it this morning and the wife says it smells terrible and not to use it. Now I need a new one in a hurray so can get the chicken in it today and into the smoker tomorrow. Can anyone recommend a good recipe...

    I'm at it again.

    This time the kids want me to do a brisket. After reading some other forums, it sounds that they are hard to do. I haven't picked one up yet but I'm hearing a choice or prime would be the best to get. What I'm concerned about is how dry they seem to get. I usually try cooking low and slow with a...

    Ribs for the first time.

    Thank you for all your helpful suggestions. I tried a modified 2-2-1 method and overall they turned out great. I cooked them at 210 degrees for 5.5 hours and finished them off on the grill for 20 minutes or so. Everyone loved them and the smoke flavour was amazing. Next time I'll use the foil...

    Ribs for the first time.

    So I think I screwed up already. Last night I put the dry rub on and the BBQ sauce and into the fridge it went. Sound like I shouldn't have put the sauce on. If I cook it longer at lower heat will this be better and not burn the sauce.

    Ribs for the first time.

    Going to be trying pork back ribs for the first time. Already in the fridge with dry rub and sauce. What I've been seeing is smoke at 225 for 4-5 hours. We have 6pieces with a total weight of 5-6 pounds. I'm using apple and hickory chips. Any tips would be appreciated.

    Newbie doing first smoke.

    after my first attempt. Cooked to an IT of 160. Think I'll try to get it to 170 next time. Just a little rare for us. But seasoned perfectly. Can't wait to try many other things. Thank everyone for your advise.

    First time using smoker in 25 degree temp

    The smoker is just in the garage door and I'm in the house. Even when I go out to check it I can smell a faint smell of smoke. I've got a CO2 minister in the garage so, so far it's not a problem.
