    Smoking 4 (10#) butts

    IMO it would be ideal to store the butts in the wrapped in towels in the cooler for 2-3 hours.  I always try to have at least 2 hours to let butts rest before serving.  Maybe that's unnecessary? I don't know!  Just how I've always done it, never had a bad one with that tactic.... but that's just...

    Perfect Al.  That's kinda what i figured for the smoke source.  Been meaning to buy an AMNPS.  Thanks for the good reads. I feel like i'll just be hanging on to this smoker!

    Masterbuilt Propane Smoker

    WOW. That's an awesome idea.  Do you have any more pics of the mail box setup?  What are you using for heat/fire in there? How are you adjusting airflow? I think i just might have to hang on to it!

    Masterbuilt Propane Smoker

    I have a Masterbuilt Propane smoker used only a handful of times.  Kept in garage so no rust. Separate door on bottom for water dish and wood.  Have a cast pan for wood chips/chunks in there now, much better than what it comes with.  Got a new OK Joe offset so don't need this one.  Would be...

    Texas Slow Cooker Chili

    Sounds like a great recipe.  Very similar to the one I use, except I always use ground venison.  I think this could help me win our chili cook off this year! If you are looking for some real smokey flavor throw the meat, onions garlic, peppers,and beans in a foil pan and put in on the smoker...

    Smoked pork loin

    That weave looks absolutely delicious! I agree with Gary. But I usually go a little lower. I will pull anywhere from 138-140 and let it rest for at least an hour, wrapped tight in doubled up foil in a few towels inside the Yeti. Always amazing. I do use two probes just to make sure it even...

    Rib Night

    Decided to do some SLC ribs and try some beef ribs. First time smoking beef ribs, have done a lot of brisket so I was pretty confident I could handle these. I'll let the pics do the talking, but they were delicious. I'll definitely be doing them again. Sorry no pics before I cut them up for all...

    Needing a meat grinder ?? Kitchener #12 on sale $79...

    Ah. I looked at it in the link.... just skipped over that part apparently. Looks like a nice grinder for $100. Usually you get down to that price range and they have plastic gears. Thanks Dave.

    Whole Pheasant?

    I have two whole pheasants i need to cook/smoke.  I usually just bread and deep fry the breast or make poppers. The one caveat with these is they don't have the skin on them... I'm concerned if i try to smoke they will dry out.  Any ideas? Recipes?  I was thinking maybe dutch oven? Thanks! -Jase

    New to SMF

    Greetings from the Hawkeye State.  Been reading posts on SMF for a while, finally decided to join.  A lot of good info out here that has been helping me learn how to smoke meat for the past few years... never realized how addicting this "hobby" was going to be! -Jase
