    Peruvian Kebabs

    Love the recipe.  I will definitely try it on some kebabs.  Any idea how it would work for some large steaks or even a big chunk of beef rib?  Maybe have to marinate overnight to really grab all that flavor.  Q view always appreciated!!!

    Kamado Smokers and the Amazen Tube

    Are you smoking with wood chunks?  I am using charcoal, so looking for a little extra flavor.

    Kamado Smokers and the Amazen Tube

    I tried it on the grate and also on the ceramic plate between the coals and the grate that creates the indirect cook.  If I put it down by the intake, then it would be sitting on the charcoal.  Not sure if the tube can take the heat right on the coals. In the end, I dumped the pellets right on...

    Kamado Smokers and the Amazen Tube

    Anyone have any luck using the pellet tube with a Kamado smoker (BGE).  I have a brisket going right now, but cannot keep the pellets lit.  I am pretty sure it is due to low airflow, but I am not sure how to get around it.  I have the base filled with charcoal, and in order to keep it under 250...

    To Rub or Not to Rub?

    The night before....  That is my question.  I see a lot of people suggest both sides.  I usually rub and wrap overnight, but I read a lot about how the rub is for the coating, not the flavoring, so rubbing just before smoking is fine.  My opinion is that I get a huge mess in the fridge every...

    I can't believe it!!  No reference to the Baron von Schwein, possibly one of the most watch and witnessed offset smoker builds on this site!!!  If you have been through all 16 pages of this thread, you are missing out! ...

    Making Jeff's Rib Rub

    Here's a couple comments for some of the above. I use a flour sifter to mix my ingredients in the rub.  Then a mortar and pestle to break up the clumps and back through the sifter.  Takes a little more time, but gives you a very even texture when finished.  One note, good sea salt and coarse...

    Rib Racks

    I could try that.  My concern was the racks of ribs either being longer than the depth of the grill or too high on the ends and then touching the lid of the smoker.

    Rib Racks

    I bought a rib rack from Amazon.com.  As you can see, it is just a little too big for my smoker. I will probably end up modifying this one with some bolt cutters, but does any one have a good suggestion for a smaller on?  My grill depth is 16 inches.  This rack holds 6 slabs.  I would be fine...
