    New Masterbuilt Gravity models coming

    I also add chunks to the firebox of my Assassin about that often, every 15 to 30 minutes.

    New Masterbuilt Gravity models coming

    On my 560, I got a better burn from wood in the ash pan by suspending on expanded metal, that was resting on a fire brick broken in half. Getting the wood up out of the ash and where more air can get around it, helped a lot. And I added wood about every 15 to 30 minutes to the ash bin. I...

    My 90 day free trial to Walmart + ended

    After almost a year of Walmart + we're very happy with it . It took us a while to learn the ins and outs but now its second nature. It is saving us money. I can't put a number on it but I'm sure its saving us more than the $100 per year cost, but probably not by much. So why have it ...

    Do briskets cook faster in a smaller smoker?

    I don't see those temps as hot and fast. HF is well over 300, actually more in the 350 and up range. 275 is the generally accepted temp for about everything.

    Do briskets cook faster in a smaller smoker?

    With two briskets on the grate, I'd think there's more radiant heat on the 36" smoker. Though, the reverse flow can get radiant heat from the cook chamber length baffle.

    Do briskets cook faster in a smaller smoker?

    I happen to have watched this Aaron Franklin vid just the other day, where he talked about hot and fast. It should start at the 19:50 mark . ( btw, this and comments he made in his MasterClass influenced me to not wrap my last brisket and to keep on the smoker to the end, and it was the best...

    Pork ribs on the offset

    The ribs look fantastic, but the scenery behind your 1975 is even more fantastic. Would love to have that kind of view off my patio. And wind and storms are the bane of offset cooking. I smoked ribs couple of Saturdays ago in 20 to 30 mph winds with gusts over 40. Even with stack end...

    Do briskets cook faster in a smaller smoker?

    Depends upon convection. Convection can speed cooking times. For convection ovens in the kitchen, recipe cooking times have to be adjusted. Convection is a more efficient transfer of heat. And we get convection in our smokers with air flow. Its very possible your 82" reverse flow...

    Should I smoke a while Chicken?

    I'll second the wet brine. I've been using Tuffy Stone's wet brine and its made a world of difference in not only how juicy the bird is but also flavor . Its a bit of a pain as it has to be made a day or two before, but its excellent .
