    Making Cutting Boards

    Very nice! Assume you meant made out of old 'pallets' not pellets.

    What is Preferred?

    Been using the Signals for a couple of years. This thing is rock solid with the Wifi. Alarm on phone app works! Highly recommend it.

    Smoking brisket advice please.

    One issue with points is the higher fat content. I only smoke whole packers i.e. point still attached to the flat. With those I ignore probing the point and only do it on the flat all over. When that is tender I pull it from the smoker. Point kinda goes along for the ride. Others constantly...

    Hey Doug, that portable 4 ton hydraulic jack might be a better solution than the bottle jack I was looking at. Got to call their tech service to get the actual length of the ram section when closed. There is one available at a local Harbor store. thanks for the link!

    Gonna review the bottle jack option first with MAK but if for some reason that won't work then the threaded rod with adapters is next. Thanks for the idea Rich!

    My First Pork Shoulder On The WSM

    Smoked pulled pork goes fast around here too. Never seem to have much in left overs. :emoji_laughing:

    Smoking brisket advice please.

    I smoke the entire time. FYI, I use a pellet smoker and have never had an issue of overly smoking. Doubt seriously your East Oak electric smoker would be much different. BUT... overly smoked is a subjective term and can mean something different to each individual. I purposely chose to go the...

    does putting rub on the outside of a pork butt stop any of the smoke flavor from entering the meat

    Glad to see they got you covered. I do the same as @chilerelleno (John) always get great smoke and excellent flavor.

    Sunday Good day /Bad day. Need a little advice , but I think I know. Damn

    Yeah David, it's tough to pull the trigger on throwing out stuff but like Rich said once the though is in your mind it's time to be done with it and toss. Time for a new and hopefully better fridge along with adding an alarm. Hopefully wifi compatible.

    Questions for RecTeq owners

    Was thinking about that idea when I read your idea Rich. Might be worth a try. Oh, and yes I figured you meant using the drill point screw on the rivet head. Appreciate the help and suggestions!

    Smoking brisket advice please.

    Definitely are a number of ways to smoke things and its a learn as you go process. Plenty of reading here should sort you out. One thing is constant, briskets can't tell time and get done and tender when they want to. Temp is only a guideline to start testing the flat (ignore the point) all over...

    Questions for RecTeq owners

    Water might be an option although there isn't enough room for a psi wand. Been doing some research in regards to using a bottle jack, assuming I can find one short enough to fit the space between the auger tube and the far wall. Thinking is: get a dowel rod with a diameter that will fit inside...

    Questions for RecTeq owners

    So far we've followed their procedure of a long screw driver into the exit end and pounding it in with a hammer and/or side of a sledge. Not a lot of room to swing either. The attempt is to turn it and loosen up the cemented pellet sawdust. Also removing the securing bracket from the motor so...
