    Tommy's World Class Chili

    I am confused.  Do you use 6lbs of tomato sauce AND 6lbs of stewed tomatos, or 6lbs of either?  Wanting to try this over the weekend.  Thanks. Josh

    First smoke on the XL egg, 2nd smoke for me. Ribs and Butt(with Pics now)

    So, got the XL egg put together last night and just threw the meat on  it for the first run.  This is only my 2nd ever smoke.  Trying spare ribs along with two 4.5lb butts.  If you have any tips on the ribs during cooking, let me know.  My plan is to leave them on for 3hrs at about 230*, pull...

    Pork and Poultry in the same smoker???

    Scarbelly, thanks for the info on the chicken.  Unfortunately my wife is a health freak, or she hates me, and doesn't allow us to eat the skin on chicken, so it being rubbery isn't an issue.  Mainly looking for a good smokey breast that is still juicy.  And I will have everything at one level...

    Pork and Poultry in the same smoker???

    So, about to begin my 2nd smoke.  First one was done with three 8lb Boston Butts and it turned out great.  Got some great feedback here when I thought I had ran into issues.  Learned a very valuable lesson from my first smoke.  The Large BGE just isn't big enough for me, so I sold it yesterday...

    Having troubles with my first Boston Butt smoke

    Steadily climbing now.  Back to a range of 174-180* since i posted.  I didn't realize that they could actually drop in temp during the stall.  Just filled the tray one more time with a mixture of water and apple cider.  Pit temp dropped to 178 and stoker had it back to 230 in about 2 minutes...

    Having troubles with my first Boston Butt smoke

    Not sure what I am doing wrong, but really getting annoyed at this point.  Threw on three 8lb butts yesterday at about 1300.  Everything was going well at midnight when I went to sleep.  My equipment is a Large Big Green Egg with the stoker hooked onto it for temp stabilization.  At midnight...

    Brand new to the forums.  Found them a few days ago as I planned my first smoke on my Large BGE.  Been loving the egg for about 4 years now and just getting into smoking.  These forums are great and are making me realize that I will have the egg and stoker running a lot more than I had...
