    Just want my meats to taste good

    I agree. My first smoke I kept the smoke billowing out. I probably went through a half of a bag of wood chunks on one poor chicken. It was awful. The smoke you should look for will be almost invisible. Early on it was tough to learn that and I would constantly get up to check and make sure...

    Yes, I'm what you might call "lazy".

    It's been a while...

    I haven't logged in here in a while so I thought I would just re-introduce myself. I'm still smoking on my original smoker (the one in my avatar) however it's not that clean anymore! I'll probably spend a lot of my time in the pork section as I love smoking pork butts. I do ribs and chicken...

    Question about a deck...

    My friend just got his deck replaced and wants to know if there is something he can put on it to protect it from the grease drippings from his grill. Any ideas? Is thompson's water seal good enough?

    Baby Back Rib Questions....

    From what I've read baby backs only need 2 hours in the begining instead of the 3.

    Baby Back Rib Questions....

    Alright, our ribfest at work is tomorrow. My boss came in this morning and dropped off 8 racks of baby backs for me to smoke tomrrow. He already rubbed 4 of them with his rub. My questions are 1.) do baby backs have a membrane to take off? I'm assuming they do. 2.) With baby backs how well...

    Brining Ribs?

    Thanks for the advice. I'm already familiar with 3-2-1 and have used it a couple times. I do plan on using that as well this time. Just wondering if brining is worth it.

    Brining Ribs?

    Does anyone do it? Is it worth it? I'm going to be smoking about half a dozen racks of ribs later this week for the guys at work. I was just wondering if this was something worth trying. I'm looking for the juiciest, most tender ribs ever. This event is also a warm up for later this summer...

    Rib Rack Question....

    My boss recently found out that I do a decent job on smoking ribs 3-2-1 style. He's asked me to smoke some up for our whole department. It'll be about 6 racks or so. I only have a little red electric ECB and I'm worried about fitting 6 racks on there. My question is, if I use a rib rack that...

    My first Turkey

    I read in another turkey thread about soaking cheese cloth in butter and letting it sit on the turkey, re-dipping it every hour or so. I think I'm going to give that a shot. Sorry q3131a, I wish I would've seen your post before I made the brine, I would've taken it a little easier on it. I...

    First turkey

    I'm doing this recipe tomorrow. It sounded so good I thought it was worth a shot. I've got it brining right now. We're having 16 people over for a Christmas party and I'm doing one turkey on the smoker and one in the oven. We'll see which goes quicker.

    My first Turkey

    I was actually going to brine it. I found a honey brine recipe from Alton Brown that sounds pretty good. Here it is: 1 gallon hot water 1 pound kosher salt 2 quarts vegetable broth 1 pound honey 1 (7-pound) bag of ice Combine the hot water and the salt in a 54-quart cooler. Stir until...

    My first Turkey

    So if you smoke it at the lower temp does the skin not turn out very good?
