    First time smoking: Question about pork spare ribs

    Well, once again, this site has nailed it.   I may have gotten completely lucky, but I followed the 3-2-1 (give or take), and I used that foiling juice and I swear to God they are the best ribs Ive ever eaten.  Not mushy.  Not tough.  They pulled right off the bone with no effort and needed NO...

    First time smoking: Question about pork spare ribs

    Never done spare ribs before.  I have a couple of questions. Can I use the same dry rub that I use on my pork butt?  Do I need a 'mop sauce'? Can I get away with using a 3-2-1 method, spraying with apple juice, and then using something like Blues Hog for the last hour?? I was going to try...

    Smoking a Turkey

    That's awful big for smoking from what I've been reading. I'm guessing you need to smoke it hot and fast. I'll wait for others for an exact temp but I'm guessing well over 300 for that size bird to get out of the danger zone.

    How long to smoke 13lb turkey?

    I know there are pages of reading and I should have first. I appreciate the answers and confidence. I smoke with a maverick thermometer. Don't worry about the fil bird. I just went by what the wife told me and all she knows is that he puts it on in the morning and it's done by the time we eat...

    How long to smoke 13lb turkey?

    Never smoked one before.  Is there a general guess?  Im kind of worried about food safety so I was thinking smoking around 275-300...probably closer to 300.  Is this OK?  Bird is brining now.  Im going to use pecan/apple wood.  I also have cherry. My FIL smoked his in an electric one and he...

    Pecan to smoke a turkey? How long to 'cure'?

    I really dont know how to tell if it was dead or green. I know the ends would 'snap' off, not bend and be ripped off.  I don't think a green limb would have just fallen out of the blue.  If I find some dead wood and do the same thing, then I can use it right away correct?  I know I have some 6...

    Pecan to smoke a turkey? How long to 'cure'?

    I thought about using some pecan wood in my smoke vault for turkey.  I had a small limb fall on my place.  It was not rotten or anything, but im not sure how 'green' it was.  Anyway, I took my really sharp hatchet and went to work getting small to large chunks off.  I have enough to fill a...

    Pulled pork...why does it take so long???

    OH....225 is TOO LOW?  Hmmm.....Well, that pretty much settles that! How long can a finished but not pulled pork butt sit in a cooler and still be OK to pull and eat?

    Pulled pork...why does it take so long???

    Ive smoked about 3 of these recently when I got my Smoke Vault.  They come out great, but the damn things take easily 16-19 hours to smoke.  That's with a 6-7lb butt.  What gives?  Im smoking at 225.  Im using a Maverick thermometer and never opening the door unless I HAVE two, which might be...

    Smoke vault 18 and new hose assembly....safe??

    Me too. Got to eat 8 lbs of pork butt before throwing something else on!

    Smoke vault 18 and new hose assembly....safe??

    No, lol. I just turned the knob up playing with it and it has a lot more capacity than needed. At 200 or even 300 the flame is fine.

    Smoke vault 18 and new hose assembly....safe??

    So I'm trying to get my temps down and with my new regulator/needle valve assembly the temps get to 200 and I can hold them there as long as all my vents are open. My question is, is my 10psi regulator assembly ok to use with this smoker? I don't know what the original is but on high it is high...

    Trouble with low temps and smoke vault 18"

    Picked up the Bayou Classic hose with a built in needle valve.  Ill install that and see if it helps.  My pulled pork came out great, so, i guess its not a problem.  It cooked at 250-275 for about 14 hours....never could get teh internal temp above 180 but it fell all apart nonetheless.
