    Next smoker?

    I have been using a char broil smoker for a couple years now and looking for the next up. My buddy has a green egg but I don't want to spend the money. Any ideas on a charcoal smoker that holds heat well and doesn't kill the budget?

    Flank Steak Process

    First time Pork Shoulder

    Whole Chicken and Ribs at the Same time?

    Hey all.  I am looking to do my first smoke (as soon as my damn smoker gets here).  I wanted to do ribs and chicken.  Can I smoke them at the same time since they require different temps to smoke at?  Please share any thoughts.
