    Baby Back Ribs Marinade?

    I used to have a great marinade for baby back ribs and I seem to have lost it. I think it had red wine, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil and black pepper in it but I'm sure I'm missing a few ingredients and I don't know the ratios. Do you have a recipe like this, or another one you recommend? Thanks!

    Help with Beer Can Chicken

    Ok, so I'm smoking a couple of beer can chickens on 4th of July. I've done them before and had them come out both just ok or really awesome.  I'm not sure why the difference. All my family is coming and many of them are amazing cooks so I really want my chickens to blow them away. I'm a big...

    Spaghetti Squash

    Hey Friends, I've got a spaghetti squash I picked up that sounded wonderfully healthy in the store but I can't seem to bring it out of my pantry to cook it.  I've been thinking it might be tasty smoked.  Anyone done this?  I'm thinking temps in the 220s for a couple hours at least?  Would you...

    How Long - Pulled Pork

    Hi and Happy Friday! I'm putting two pork shoulders on my electric pellet smoker tomorrow.  It's going to be about 60 degrees out and I plan to put them on at 250 and wrap them in foil about halfway through.  Both are about 7 lbs.  What do you think I should plan for in terms of cooking time? I...

    GMG - one side hotter than the other?

    Well, I smoked a prime rib for the first time on Xmas and according to Jeff's book, it should have taken 5 hours to cook and it took about half that - it was on the hotter side.  I also smoked a pork tenderloin last week on the hotter side and it was overdone in 1.5 hours.

    Frenched Rack of Lamb

    I picked up one of these little beauties at Costco today.  Before I got my smoker, I used to marinate them and sear them up on my gas grill...  but now, of course, I want to smoke it. Recommendations for smoking temp and wood type?  What temp do you pull it off for medium rare, and do you do...

    GMG - one side hotter than the other?

    I have a Green Mountain Grill and I'm noticing that the right side of the grill is significantly hotter than the left side.  Is this normal or do I have an issue with my grill?

    Quick food safety question

    LOL...  My dog licks his own butt and would be happy to eat a whole block of cheese.  He is not worthy of 14 hour smoked pork butt!!!

    How do you do your WINGS?

    I think my smoker can go up to 325-350, so which temp should I use?  Do you brine or marinade beforehand?

    How do you do your WINGS?

    Hubby's gonna home brew some beer tomorrow with a buddy so I thought, what better snack food than to hand them a plate of smoked wings?  I really need to stop sharing all my smoked meats... Anyway...  I have an electric pellet grill (GMG) and looking for some basic ideas on time/temp/marinade...

    Quick food safety question

    How long can I rest a pulled pork without refrigerating it before it becomes a safety hazard not to be refrigerated?   I'm smoking a butt for some friends who had a baby a couple days ago and of course the finicky pig appears to be finishing about two hours early.  So I had planned for it to be...

    Whole Chicken

    I ended up putting her on a beer can, smoked at 275 from 1:30-4:00 and she turned out perfect.  My picky toddler must have eaten more protein tonight than she has all year.
