    Gonna Try Ribs

    Old school sounds good with me.  I don't foil butts or other, so I think I'll stick to that method.  Thanks!

    Gonna Try Ribs

    I've smoked plenty of butts and briskets, but never ribs.  Wife wants some baby backs.  What do I need to know?  I prep my brisket and butts with mustard, then dry rub and start smoking.  Everything has come off nicely.  Are ribs any different?

    July 4th Smoke - First Butts

    Thanks guys.  I think I'll mix the spices into the mustard, paint it on, and then leave the smoker closed until the one closest to the fire stalls.  No mop or spray.

    July 4th Smoke - First Butts

    I've always done briskets or birds, but pig is on the menu this year.  I'm cooking for about 20 people, so I'm thinking 20-24 lbs spread out among 4 butts.  My plan is to start smoking them the morning of the 3rd and re-heat the next day out of foil pans. I think I've pretty well settled on...

    Another Turkey Question

    Thank's ya'll.  For who asked, I have a Chargriller 830.

    Another Turkey Question

    Thanks.  My concern is getting it above 140 within the 4 hours.  Not sure my smoker will do it.

    Another Turkey Question

    At what point do you pull it off the smoker? (to go to the oven or grill)

    Another Turkey Question

    Found turkeys on sale for .59 cents / lb at Publix today, so I bought the smallest bird they had.  Right around 16.5 lbs.  Being the impatient person I am, I started thawing the frozen block of bird in water, still in the shrink wrap.  It's heading to the fridge now, with the idea in my head of...

    First Turkey with Q-View

    Here's what has turned into a practice run. My wife who's never really liked the brisket I always smoke loves this turkey and won't let it leave the house to go to dinner tomorrow night. Next year I'll smoke a whole turkey and let the rest of the family enjoy.

    Exploding Concrete

    Thanks guys! First one I've done. Can't believe how good this thing is. Unfortunately it isn't going to make it to dinner tomorrow night. My wife is keeping it for herself. Only a 5 lb breast and there is roasted turkey as the planned main attraction. This one was a surprise. Wouldn't be...

    Exploding Concrete

    Here's my little badge of honor for this smoke. Here's the turkey breast. First one I've done, next year will probably do a whole bird if this on comes out.

    Exploding Concrete

    Thanks for the info guys. I was telling the story to a friend of mine who grills darn near daily and starts his up the same way. He thought I was nuts and dropped a round down the chimney. It has been pretty wet out there. Makes a lots of sense.

    Exploding Concrete

    I haven't raked leaves in a while, so I decided to get a chimney of Cowboys going on my concrete patio. I lit it off then went to my storage area to put away some ammo that just arrived. When I got done with that, I checked on my coals. They were ready to go, but I was wearing open shoes. I...

    Smoke a Turkey with Brining?

    Yeah. I meant without. My kid was crying and wife screaming when I posted this. The result was totally incomprehensible. I found a cooler I forgot I had. I'm only smoking a turkey breast, so it ought to fit in there, and I'll have to keep icing it down since there's no room in the fridge...
