    Just bought a new motorcycle!

    I ride a 05 Vegas 8 Ball, you have to change to pipes to let the sound out, just like a HD. My bike is a peace disturbing machine to be sure, so chose your new pipes to your taste. The bike I'm lusting after now is a Cross Roads.

    What wood for what cheese?

    I have a smoke vault using AMNST that I plan on trying to cold smoke with. I'm hoping to shorten my learning curve a bit by getting a idea what cheese goes best with the pellets being used.

    Help me out with my rib fail

    I was thinking the sauce dissolved the salt in the rub as it braised in the foil, there for coming out of the foil loaded with about as much salt as it could hold in suspension. I tasted the sauce before I foiled and it was very much to my liking.

    Help me out with my rib fail

    I smoked 3 racks of ribs today, and while the meat portion turned out great, the Plow boys Yard Bird rub I put on them made the bark taste like eating a salt lick! The ribs used were Saint Louis style, that were vacuum packed and frozen. At about 9 PM last night, I pulled the silver skin...

    Drying Pellets in a Microwave

    I have found that I need a decent draft to keep my tube going in my Smoke Vault 24. I put mine on the lowest rack, just above the water pan, with water in it. I open the dampener on that side of the smoker to full open, and then choke it down slowly till I get the thin blue smoke. I plan on...

    Cast Iron vs. Mild steel for a griddle... Opinions please

    Mild steel can work, but it's harder to season. I recommend that you double the thickness of a couple of thin sheets, plug welding from the bottom. Then blast it to remove all mill scale. If you can get it blasted with steel shot, it will pock mark the steel and it will hold oil better, and be...

    My first brisket smoke questions!

    I plan on going for my first brisket next Saturday, and have a few questions. First, I'm using a smoke vault 24, from the size of the briskets I have seen at my local Sam's, I'm going to have to take some off the length to get it in the smoker. If I understand what I have been reading, I want...

    Running two Maverick 732's at the same time?

    Can you run two Maverick 732's at the same time? Has anyone tried putting a meat probe in the smoker temp jack?

    Windbreak ideas for Smoke Vault 24

    I have flattened the tab on the two side dampeners so they close all the way. The top one is still stock and I run it wide open during the summer in at home. I happen to bring mine to Phoenix with me to my Dads house, we smoked two Boston butts this weekend. I had a very hard time keeping the...

    Cooking/chef advice needed

    I'm going to attempt spaghetti sauce from scratch, but the recipe calls for dried sage leaves, as in whole. I don't have any, and the stores I went to did not have them either, but I can find ground sage. Is there a conversion for dried sage leaves to ground sage leaves, and will the end result...

    Windbreak ideas for Smoke Vault 24

    I'm thinking of adding sheet aluminum to the sides of the legs of my Smoke Vault 24 to act as a windbreak for the burner. The sheets would extend down the legs to a few inches from the bottom of the legs. I was also thinking of adding a horizontal piece a few inches under the burner to further...

    seasoned my new smoke vault24 today with pics.

    I have the same smoker, you should be pleased! I just received my AMNPS to get around having to tend chips or chunks all the time. Mine will hold a nice even temp all day long once set up, but it seams that I was all ways having to fiddle with the chip pan and adjusting the gas knob to keep the...
