    Temp vs time

    Been smoking for a while, but still trying to learn how to do it better. Other than a shorter period of time, what are the pros and cons of smoking a brisket [or any other cut of meat for that matter] between 200 - 225 and 230 - 250? I know that this looks like splitting hairs. Two weeks...

    Smoking turkey

    Easiest description: Remove all packing from inside bird. Using poultry shears, cut down one side of backbone from breast to opening, repeat for other side. Save backbone for stock, if you want. Flip bird over so that cut is on the bottom. Spread out cut to the sides, pushing down on top to...

    Spatchcock and space issue

    Would also recommend that you rotate your racks about half way through the process, i.e. switch top and bottom racks, to equal out the cooking process on each bird. Have done several birds with this method; never had anyone complain except that I didn't smoke more birds.

    Propane to Nat Gas conversion [almost there]

    I've attached some pictures of my MBPro conversion from propane to natural gas.  Besides going with natural gas, I'll be using a cast iron skillet for the wood chunks.  If all goes as planned, I'm painting the wind barrier "fire red". Calling upon the collective genii in this forum, I...
