    Finished my first turkey!

    It’s been a while since I’ve posted any Q-view... Thanks for the help with the turkey questions! I’ve done lots on my smokers, but this is my first turkey, 11lbs+ and only $4 at Kroger (38 cents a lb). I used Chef JimmyJ’s brine for 24 hours, dried, then sat open in the fridge overnight. Rubbed...

    Help a lady out on a turkey!

    Thanks for all the info JJ! Quick question on brining - do you do it when the turkey is frozen, partly thawed, or completely thawed? All your recipes look great!

    Help a lady out on a turkey!

    Thanks so much for all your help guys! I really appreciate it! I will probably not spatchcock it, but I will definitely take a look a Chef ‘s brine and some of the other things. And thanks for the tips to finish in the oven for crispy skin!

    Help a lady out on a turkey!

    Hey y’all! I’ve been away a while but still smoking meat often. I decided to try smoking a turkey for the first time mostly because Kroger had them $.38 a lb!! I paid around $4 for an 11+ pounder!! :D I have a vertical masterbuilt electric smoker w/bluetooth. Any tips would be helpful! Do you...

    Thin boneless chops and corn

    Didn't get a plated shot, but here's after I took it off the smoker. The flavor of the chops was a bit off, I think because of the brine, but was better with sauce and I think the corn could have cooked longer. Good overall though.

    Thin boneless chops and corn

    Had some thin chops sitting in the fridge and some corn on the cob from Kroger. Decided to fire up the Masterbuilt electric and smoke them up. It's been a while so I did a little research on here and realized I needed to brine first. Unfortunately I didn't have apple juice, BUT I had some Austin...

    overnight Brisket smoke with q/view

    Haha. Yes! You did miss it. I killed the bullet with chunks. Guess I put too many in and it caught it on fire. Burned up all the insides. So I traded up a bit to the masterbuilt vertical. Still electric for apartment living, but easier to get into & larger. I've been smoking plenty on it, but...

    overnight Brisket smoke with q/view

    Yes, it cooked faster overnight than I thought and was already past done when I woke up. The temp was set higher than I wanted at 275... lessons learned for the next time. Still tastes really good. :)

    overnight Brisket smoke with q/view

    Thanks! I just put more wood in once before I went to bed. Probably could have done another round though. I have an electric too. You can read around on here, but after several hours I believe, it doesn't take on more smoke. Just check that it's not cooking too hot & you should be fine.

    overnight Brisket smoke with q/view

    Thanks guys. It was 205-208IT. I checked as soon as I woke up and pulled it. I didn't have a probe in this time. Honestly wasn't expecting it to cook so fast. The point was nice & juicy, but fall apart since I cooked too long. I have not cut into the flat yet. I got sick today and now can't...
