    Fisrt Baby Back Ribs on my new Pitmaster BBQ Vault

    I wanted to buy the Vault a year ago but held back because it was much too large for the small amounts of food I cook. Pitmaker came out with the Safe which is 40% of the Vault's size and I ordered it immediately.  The safe was designed to be able to take to a competition and cook all the...

    Fisrt Baby Back Ribs on my new Pitmaster BBQ Vault

    I just bought a BBQ Safe by Pitmaker, which is the smaller version of the Vault.  Everything I cook gets an unreal smoke ring.  Ribs are always perfectly pink inside. Great piece of equipment.  Congrats!!!!!

    Has anyone used a BBQ Vault by Pitmaker?

    I am considering purchasing a BBQ Vault built by Pitmaker in Houston, TX.  The pits look killer and I want a vertical smoker with a water pan.  I would appreciate any input from anyone who has personally used a Vault or owns one.  Thanks in advance for your help on this.

    Jambo Pits. Why not Reverse Flow?

    The secret to good bbq is maintaining a constant temperature- whatever temp. you prefer. The Jambo pits have insulated fireboxes which are huge in relation to the rest of the cooker. The cooking portion of the Jambo uses heavy guage steel to keep in the heat. I know a few cooks who have...

    Where do you buy your meat Iowa smokers?

    No matter where you live, I believe Sam's Club is an excellent choice. The prices are always good and is the meat is always fresh. You can't go wrong. Many of the successful competetive bbq cookers I know use Sam's Club meat.

    Boston Butt: in a pan or on the grate?

    I cook mine directly on the grates and then pull when it hits 195. I tent with foil and let cool on counter and then pull. Turns out perfectly every time.

    Hormel St. Lous style ribs

    The package says they are enhanced with up to 15% of a patented solution. They have also been previously frozen. I won't use these for my bbq competitions but maybe to vend with. I bought 2 to try out this week and if they are good enough I will buy a case of them for vending. I will post my...

    Good Electric Knife

    I have a couple of electric knives, but neither really cuts through meat as easily as I like. I am looking for anyone's advice as to what the very best and SHARPEST electric knife out there is. Sharpness is the key as I cut meat for bbq contests and presentation is very important. Thanks in...

    Lump versus Charcoal briquettes

    I use Royal Oak in my BGE and it works great. The BGE brand charcoal is actually Royal Oak in a green bag. No ash and dust floating around. I bought a $10.00 electric charcoal starter from WalMart and it starts up the BGE in about 5-10 minutes. No need to use paper or fluid. I can't believe...
