    Best Pellet brand for smoking?

    I also use BBQer’s Delight. Just bought some hickory and apple on Amazon today. Couldn’t find any peach, which is my favorite.

    Apple Sauce Chicken-Loaf Pan!

    .....and when you cook for two most days like I do, the leftovers are great. Ours are going in burritos tonight!

    I love back ribs.

    Finished product. I overcooked them a bit. Actually, a lot. Had a lot of bone showing, and they were dead fall off the bone. The samples below were the only 3 ribs that stayed on when I cut them. However, since my wife likes fall off the bone, she thought they were great. And I enjoyed the...

    I love back ribs.

    Hope mine turn out half as good as those look, Aaron! They just hit the 250 grill. Used a bit of mustard with a simple salt, pepper, garlic and onion rub. Planning on 3-2-whentheyredone.

    Beer can chicken

    I, too, have had less than spectacular results from beer can chicken. At this point, I use a reusable loaf pan to cook mine. Have one in the Pro in a larger pan now.

    I love back ribs.

    Thanks for the advice, guys! Bought the ribs today. They’re not the full back, but rather the end of the back ribs......abt 3-4 inches long. So we will see. Another ‘test rack’. Told the wife we may need a backup plan.

    Pork Belly Burnt Ends are so good it's stupid

    The “other” other white meat

    The problem with a veal shoulder would be fat. A pork shoulder has a whole lot of embedded fat that I’m not sure veal can duplicate. So, you’d need to find a way to avoid the shoulder drying out. I was going to suggest injecting and wrapping in bacon....but.....maybe your vacon? With a...

    What’s that nasty stuff next to that awesome pig? Edit: there was supposed to be a wink emoji there. Looks amazing!

    What the hell am I doing wrong since I would eat Famous Dave's Chain Smoked meat over mine anyday

    I’m not sure what I have to add to the great thoughts here, other than this: I can cook my meat EXACTLY the way I want it to taste. So, i don’t compare my results to other cook’s. I’m honest about what I like, and what my family likes. I don’t care what FD cooks in the grand scheme of...

    Smoking whole ribeye caps... Looking for advice...

    That’s great advice, and I can’t add much to that. I might rest 15 minutes longer, and with my wife’s family, go to 130 IT in the thinnest part of the roll. My own preference would be not to reverse sear, but that’s just me. Make sure you put some herbs in your rub. I love rosemary and thyme...
