Leaving it unwrapped the entire time doesn't dry it out or over smokey flavor? Are you using prime cut only?

So I wanted to smoke a whole beef brisket this weekend but I'm running into the problem of not having any available pink butcher paper. Would wrapping it in aluminum foil at the stall be okay instead of butcher paper, known as the Texas crunch? Should I wait until 2 weeks later when the butcher...

Smoked my first Boston butt yesterday on my offset and had great results. Smoked the butt until it reached a IT of 160, wrapped it up in foil at that point then I placed it right back in the same spot and let the smoker do its job. Finally hit a IT of 198 and allowed it to rest for about a 1 1/2...

My daughters birthday is coming up soon and I thought about smoking a few racks of ribs for everyone at the party. I was thinking about possibly smoking around 4 racks of ribs on my horizontal offset smoker. The more I think about doing this I'm starting to have concerns running through my head...

Well I finally think I got it, smoked some baby back ribs tonight on my offset and I was really happy with them. Used my thermopro tp20 and helped me smoke at the right temps. Just figured i would share because my first attempt at ribs was a disaster but these turned out perfect!! Charcoil and...

I see what you mean about the thermo reading the air inside the cooking chamber, makes sense. What doesn't is why its such a huge difference in temp change from lid to grate. (Main heat source coming from the firebox on my off-set smoker) There's only one explanation though to why the ribs were...

Yep I agree. That's the factory lid thermo on a cheap $300 smoker I got from a wholesale club.

So I'm new to smoking and the last time I tried smoking a set of ribs it was a absolute disaster. The ribs came out raw and tough but a great learning experience through meatless burns and this forum after asking for your help. Many if not all of you told me that your lid thermo is notoriously...

Looks like the maverick 732 is the way to go. Ill be ordering mine tomorrow.

I bought one, it's my first smoker and really like it a lot. Couldn't pass up on the deal that they have right now at BJs,$70 off.

Joe, thank you for your reply and taking the time to answering my questions. The more I think about it, it makes perfect sense why my ribs were undercooked when my lid thermo was reading the desired temp. I never would of guessed that those factory thermos are off by that much from the lid...

PLEASE HELP! Hello everyone, I need some help and hoping to get feedback from anyone willing to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Last night I put a slab of St. Louis cut spare ribs on my Landmann charcoal grill with a offset smoker box that I picked up from BJ's wholesale club...
