    Crap - Help! Power outage overnight - mid smoke.

    Well - this is a first. Woke up at 6:26 to get ready for church and found my clock flashing 2:38. Backwards math - figured power went out around 3:55ish and of course - last night I put a pork butt on at 10:30 to be ready for mid day today. Just checked my tappecue site and see that the...

    Brisket Comparison ---------

    Just stuck a Prime Brisket in my 30MES. Butcher gave me a great deal on it because someone ordered it and didnt come pick it up. He knows I smoke quite a few - asked me to come back with my notes on if it is worth the extra $$. Wasn't a real big one - 13 lbs, trimmed down to about 11 I'd...

    Overnight brisket

    great write up and read. The bark on that brisket is awesome. Just picked up 12 lb packer and an 8 lb beef tenderloin for Thursday family arrival and Sunday Celebration. Might have to try and add some brown sugar to my rub. Great addition!!

    Prime Rib for Dummies :)

    With good pieces of meat i really try to keep it simple and let the meat do the talking. I'll generally just go SPOG, but sometimes I sprinkle a bit of montreal steak seasonings.

    Prime Rib for Dummies :)

    I've done Pecan but I think Hickory for that short of a smoke is about perfect.

    Prime Rib for Dummies :)

    usually right around 130. Works out well for a good mix of meat temps for all that enjoy different cooking temps. We love it blood red, but honestly after cutting it is already turning.

    Smoker & Grill outdoor kitchen ideas

    hehe, in front of the truck is a 12x12 storage room with a full sized fridge. It has drinks and meat. Part of what started me down this process. Nice to not have to run everything up stairs (raised beach house)...only to bring it back down. Just started some babyback ribs down on the...

    PERFECT RIBS EVERY TIME! This really works!

    Agreed - find a meaty part away from bones. Get 2 or 3 quick readings. Don't dwell too much - close is good :)

    PERFECT RIBS EVERY TIME! This really works!
