    Anyone found a good way to mark the position of the tuning plates inside the smoker?

    Pic of a 10lb pork butt I did last weekend on the BTLE. Used Aaron Franklin's Texas style rub recipe. 5 hours in the smoker to a temp of 160, then wrapped tightly in foil, then into a 300 degree oven (why waste the wood fuel?) for about 2.75 hours to an internal temp of about 205. Best pork...

    One more question for the group...  Did anybody else experience the Rutland RVT silicone taking forever to set-up?  I have one area that's been curing for about 3 days, and it's still sticky to the touch and will come off on my finger.  The areas I put it on the fire box 2 days ago are still...

    I've had my BTLE for about a year and have had some good smokes on it.  After finding this forum, I've noticed leaks in the firebox I need to seal up. I bought the Rutland RTV silicone sealant.  For parts in the firebox that fit together, is it okay to apply the sealant then bolt them back...

    Hey fellow BBQ junkies!  I've been searching for tips on using a Brinkmann Trailmaster Elite smoker I bought last year, and thought, what the heck, I might as well join the group. In addition to the Brinkmann, I also use a Traeger, Jr.  I love smoking all kinds of meat.  The one I haven't got...
