    1st time spatchcock turkey have questions.

    Dumb question incoming. Is spatchcocked a fancy name for smoked? Or y'all talking about a different style of cooking? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    rub for turkey?

    Yes Chef Jimmy! I'm sure that was the brine I used last year. If not, that's what I'm using this year. Looks perfect to me. Hope the rest of the smoke goes well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    rub for turkey?

    I'm in the same boat. I smoked our first turkey last year. It was a hit. The wife expects a repeat performance this year. I can't remember what I put in the brine. I think the rub was my standard chicken mix? I believe I did it beer butt style with a 16 oz can and stuffed the neck hole with...

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

      I always think my shoulders are "okay" Family and friends seem to love them, no matter how I try to smoke them. But, I have had some wonderful pulled pork, that I always compare mine to. This was manna from heaven! It was so wonderfully flavored. The moisture content was perfect. It left a...

    foil leg quarters?

    I love the 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 method for cooking ribs. It's easy to remember and they always come out great. I was wondering if anybody has a method for cooking chicken leg quarters? I try to be consistent, but sometimes they come out a little dry and sometimes they cling to the bone. Would it help...

    Frendly poll

     I pick B. I always support the local merchant when possible. They cant afford to keep a large inventory and offer the selection that you can find on the internet. But, they usually bend over backward to get what you want and offer great service after the sale. They usually try to match or at...

    Hi all

    Hello from Indiana. My wife bought me a MES 30" digital for Christmas. I found this site AFTER a couple attempts at some cooked but very tough meat. The knowledge here has been a blessing. I have grilled and camp cooked for 20 years or so and have gotten decent at it. But. smoking seems to be a...
