    Well, everything went great!  Except one tiny little detail......we forgot to pack the camera and I only took pictures with my new smartphone that I am having some issues getting the pictures off of. Here's a Cliff Notes version of the process: Friday night I applied a smokehouse rub and...

    OK, I am doing the ribs and a beer can chicken Saturday,  I am still picking a rub that I want to try on each of them.  I'll (hopefully) post how it went Sunday when I get home!

    Buffalo Chicken Drumsticks

    I don't know about a macro, but I think a napkin was needed to catch the drool from all of those awesome pictures!  I can't wait to try wings now!!

    Thanks for the ideas Merv.  I just read the 3-2-1 link from a posting in the ribs forum.  I really underestimated the time frame needed to do them right! I'll watch the video tonight when I'm at home as it won't open here at work......

    OK, so boiling them is out! (I don't want to commit a deadly sin and get booted out of SMF already!!) So, here's the plan then: I am planning on using apple wood for the smoke and I'll use my own concoction for BBQ sauce (kicked up Sweet Baby Ray's).  I'll let the ribs get about 3/4 done before...

    Thanks for all the great info so far!  I am pretty sure I am cooking a chicken and some ribs next weekend.  Do you guy "par boil" the ribs before or just cook them in the smoker?  I usually boil them before grilling as it make them easily more fall off the bone. I did get the smoker seasoned...

    First Time Chuckie FINISHED PICS!!

    OK, thanks for the assistance!  I have never used a digital temperature probe before!  (It is on my list of stuff for a Father's Day gift though after reading some posts on here!)

    Hi Ben! I actually live in the south suburbs but the smoker is going to stay at my camper at a campground near Amboy, IL.  I did not get the jerky done this weekend as planned as there was too much other "stuff" going on there! (And I for got some of the stuff I needed....) I am going back in...

    Well, I am going to try some beef jerky this weekend.  I would have tried the pork butt, but we are bringing pulled pork we made previously as one of our meals this weekend.  I'll give the pork a shot next time!! I'll try to get some pics and post them when I return! The smoker is still in the...

    Yes, Eagles are not very common.  The fact he made it when he was 14 was pretty good! Do you guys do any Dutch Oven cooking in your pack at campouts??

    I forgot to mention my name is Don. I signed up for the 5 day course and have read the first two days so far. Lastly, what is Qview??  I am guessing it is similar to a photographic "play by play" of a smoking experience. Thanks!

    Greetings from Chicago!

    I have just purchased my first smoker but, as my name suggests, I have lots of experience cooking outdoors with Dutch Ovens!  I have cooked everything from cookies to pizza to multiple cobblers etc... in Dutch Ovens! I am a "retired" Boy Scout Leader with 14 years experience and learned about...
