    Pepperoni snack sticks with Q-View

    I will let HOSS chime in .... but is ANYTHING around that place stock? IIRC he was smoking these @ the same time as the fatty's.. I think his temps on these were 225 give or take.

    Pepperoni snack sticks with Q-View

    They were awesome! They stayed nice and full due to cook temps IMHO. Next time start @ 100 for an hour no/little smoke then 3 hrs of smoke @ 100-120 then finish for an hour @ 170-80 until internal temps are up. They will dry out and shrink juuuuust fine. IF you are not satisfied with...

    Reverse Flow Smoker. Concept?

    New guy here also... but I will throw my take on things in here. Reverse flow keeps the heat under a plate that runs the lenght of the smoking chamber. This allows the heat to warm the plate and force the heat/smoke to the opposite end of the chamber as the fire box. When it comes out from...

    My insulated plywood/propane smoker

    All vents open and close. I leave at least one vent on the top full open all the time. I learned the hard way what creosote tastes like (yuck!) The one I open on the top is always on the downwind side of the smoker. The bottom vent is fully functional. With the vent fully closed I get...

    Snack sticks w/ Q-Vue

    http://www.cabelas.com/p-0072267519338a.shtml I have this model. The hard to press issue is also accompanied with the meat coming past the seals of the plunger. This makes a huge mess. Works like a charm on the larger diameters.... just not the snack stick size. I am definitely going to...

    My insulated plywood/propane smoker

    Its a double D weather seal from Lowe's. Its a solid rubber type that is hollow in the middle (picture to D layed on its back side by side) The package said not for high heat... only good to 350 degrees. I figure the outside edge of that door is LUCKY to see 300 degrees max temps (if it sees...

    Snack sticks w/ Q-Vue

    I picked up a snack stick kit from Cabelas the other weekend and have to say I am very impressed with the seasonings of their sticks. They are spicy without being hot (if that makes any sense to you guys) I have a 5# stuffer from Cabelas that would work awesome for stuffing small 21mm...

    FATTY goodness for the first time!

    Hello everyone. Kinda new here and have been soaking up the good stuff. Figured since I was going to smoke a turkey for the first time on Christmas morning I would throw a FATTY on the rack for a snack. You can venture into turkey land here...

    New guy here with first smoked turkey

    Figured that I would tackle my first smoked bird for Christmas dinner. I have never been much for a safety net... so I went for it. I used a brine from NWBHoss. Has water, white vinegar, pickling spice and some other stuff in it. 1 hr/lb soak time. Took 'er out and covered with rub that...
