    Few questions about the GMG Davy Crockett...

    I love the look of this grill, and with the wifi option, it looks like exactly the sort of thing I'm after for a small set & forget smoker, mostly for smoking briskets & pork butts, but also for smaller things. I have a few questions though... My main concerns are: Will it fit a 13lb packer...

    Thinking of starting up a mobile BBQ trailer business. Is this idea possible?

    I am thinking of getting into the street food business here in the UK, and I would ideally love to specialize in proper smoked BBQ, as there is such a gap in the market for good BBQ here. I can imagine that BBQ is probably the hardest food to pull off as a street food vendor, due to the...

    Help, I need shoulder advice asap!

    Thanks for all the advice! It got to about 1.30am and it was still only at 188f so I  gave up in the end and just put it in the crock pot on low until this morning. It's only a small 4lb joint. It turned out OK, it's tender, tastes fine and I haven't thrown up yet so fingers crossed!

    Help, I need shoulder advice asap!

    I have been smoking a pork shoulder all day, but my smoker was a little on the low side (about 200f) for the most part. After 5 hours I transferred it to the oven at 250f and 8 hours later the internal temp is at 183f (I am aiming for 195-200f). The problem is it is now midnight and I am falling...

    My quest to find or create the perfect BBQ sauce

    Thanks, do you not like adding vinegar to your sauce? Sounds very simple, I might give it a go. If I were to use ketchup it would be Heinz. I noticed the ingredients on the cheaper ketchup bottles were very artificial, whereas Heinz seems to have basic natural ingredients.

    My quest to find or create the perfect BBQ sauce

    Cheers, so do you think adding real onions as opposed to powdered onions is better? Do you blend them up afterwards?

    My quest to find or create the perfect BBQ sauce

    Hi, I am a big fan of BBQ sauce, but I find it hard to create my own. I have tried several recipes, all with top ratings, but they never turn out as I imagine them to be. A good all round BBQ sauce to me should be sweet, slightly tangy, smokey and with a gentle heat.  There should be a backbone...

    Does this ECB style smoker look OK?

    Thanks for the info! Very helpful!  I might give the top one a go, as it looks like you can open it in 2 parts to access the bottom rack. I'll let you know if it's any good!

    Does this ECB style smoker look OK?

    I am in the UK, so there are fewer smoker models available here, and the famous ECB is not that cheap over here! I have seen a similar looking model on ebay & amazon that looks OK in the pictures, but what do you all think...

    My smoker went out briefly, is the meat still ok?

    Thanks for your help. Unfortunately After 10 hours+ cooking time I now have a bog standard tough old joint of pork that I could have achieved in a couple of hours! It doesn't pull at all, all the smokeyness has disappeared but remains strongly on me, my clothes and throughout my house! The bone...

    My smoker went out briefly, is the meat still ok?

    Thanks for the replies, I'm sure it will be fine.  One thing I don't get is they say food is in the danger zone when left between 40f - 140f for more than 2 hours, but in the first 4 hours (for me at least) of smoking the pork sits well within that zone. I put the meat thermometer in after...

    My smoker went out briefly, is the meat still ok?

    I have been smoking a pork shoulder this morning, the plan was to smoke it on my makeshift gas grill/smoker for 4 hours and then transfer to the oven for 4 hours or until done. I am using an oven thermometer and meat thermometer and keeping temps at 250 - 275f. Everything was fine on the gas...
