    Pork butt came out awesome!

    Outside of the dog chewing up (last smoke) one of my Thermoworks probes, and only leaving me with a grate reading probe, this was a good smoke. I did have some other crappy meat thermometer that seemed to work half way decent based on results. Pulled her at 195 and a little over 8 hours -- very...

    Help with temperature control

    I am so thankful for all of the help.  You hear people talk all the time about putting in the coals, wood, etc. and just going to sleep. I guess they are talking about a ceramic smoker or something different than an offset. I wasn't looking to just set it and forget, but I was looking for some...

    Ok, so when I add new wood, it takes my transparent heat/smoke to the billowing white smoke for a bit. This is seasoned post oak. So, how do you burn a clean fire when you add new wood? Like I said, my Boston butt was good, and not bitter at all. Maybe it was the wind last night that caused a...

    Favorite Beer

    I love Ranger IPA, and it's my go to brew. However, I also like 512 IPA, Shiner Bock, and just about anything other than a light beer.

    Help with temperature control

    Hi all, I can grill like crazy, but I am still pretty green when it comes to smoking -- I think I've smoked about three briskets, three links of sausage, one Boston butt and two racks of ribs. Some of that smoking was done on a smoker that a friend had in storage and wanted me to use until his...
