    Over Smoked?

    Why don't you add bbq sauce to anything while it's smoking?

    New Air Fryer

    Another thing I would consider... on Amazon, I'm seeing that the Philips XL is $300 - $330. If you're spending that much, I would also look into the Breville Smart Oven Breville BOV900BSS The Smart Oven Air, Silver It has really good reviews and has an Air Frying mode, I would look at reviews...

    New Air Fryer

    The Power Air Fryer is made by Tristar products. They make the Power Pressure Cooker (which is inferior to the Insta Pot) and all those other infomercial products with Eric Theiss. I can't speak to the quality of their Power Air Fryer, but the company itself seems to get a lot of criticism from...

    Has anyone tried the ribs at Costco?

    I don't really see much of a point. I've searched and this same complaint has showed up on Reddit and other bbq/cooking forums over the years. Apparently, enough people like it that they keep selling them. I doubt Costco will do anything and I threw out the original packaging and already cooked...

    Has anyone tried the ribs at Costco?

    I just want to chime in here. I bought a PBC and decided to try Costco's pre-seasoned ribs for the first cook. Their rub (or at least the amount they use) is disgustingly salty. I couldn't taste any of the smoke flavor or even the flavor of the coating of bbq sauce, the saltiness was that...

    Question about using Morton Tender Quick

    Thanks for you help. The recipe that I made was a sausage, rib, kale and lima bean soup (also contains leeks, carrots, onions, garlic and jalapeno). The recipe suggested curing the ribs first (with Morton TQ). Not sure how much of a difference that made, but either way the soup turned out great.

    Question about using Morton Tender Quick

    I am following a recipe that calls for curing ribs (10 ribs, so somewhere around 3 - 4 lbs worth) for about 24 hours with Morton Tender Quick. It calls for using 1/4 cup tender quick and a 1/4 cup of brown sugar. You put the ribs, tender quick and sugar in a large ziploc bag, mix it up and...

    My first attempt at smoking a brisket

    That sounds about right. I did end up taking the smaller one at a lower temperature than the larger one. The larger one I was really happy with. When I poked it it almost shook like a Jello mold.

    My first attempt at smoking a brisket

    Just recently got a Masterbuilt electric. I've used a few times for sausages and ribs, but this was my first time trying anything substantial. I used the method I read on here of smoking until 170, wrapping in foil until 190, and then wrapping in a towel and placing in a cooler. I think it...

    Basic Brisket Smoke

    I'm new to smoking and have one of those Masterbuilt electrics. Anyone have any tips for a brisket (this may have been discussed already but I didn't read the whole thread)? I don't want to do anything fancy, I was just going to try salt and pepper and wrap in foil and blankets when I'm done...
