    What to buy

    2 WSM’s in my corral. They work. Super simple to assemble and operate. I actually have more fun with side pit stick burners. Owned many basic side pit smokers over the years. A good reverse flow is hard to beat as well. I own a Lang 36”. She’s a fuel hog but does a great job. Never been a...

    Looking for smoker recommendation

    Similar story with me. I used off-the-shelf/assembly-required sidepits and wore them out. Brinkmann, Char Griller, Char Brolier and 2 WSM's. The Brinkmann and Char Griller/broiler were decent. They were fuel hogs that required constant supervision but it never bothered me. I enjoy being...

    brisket left out to long

    As for the pet test, my dogs will eat anything. I think one of my dogs is part billy goat. He has eaten an XL pizza box, pieces of wood, plastic wrap, Christmas ornaments and one time he ate a half full carton of copperhead bb’s. So it’s unlikely they would refuse the cooked meat. That...

    brisket left out to long

    The brisket is on and cooking. I couldn’t see any discoloration and there was no smell. Injected, salt & pepper rub and she looks beautiful. I can understand your reluctance to eat meat left in a car. But this is a little different. The temp inside my house is always 67 degrees or lower...

    brisket left out to long

    This is a very helpful thread. I am in a similar situation with a 7 lb brisket flat. It is a butcher cut, wrapped tightly in butcher paper, not cryo sealed. It was stored in a very cold fridge overnight before being pulled to prep. It sat out longer than intended, approximately 6 hours in my...

    Taste and appearance

    Prior to the judges arrival, the team examines each rib to screen out any shiners. Tasting is very important. The flavor profile must meet or exceed the cooks' expectations.

    The Shed's Whole Hog Smoker

    The entire body swings open on the side in the pic. Inside there are a set of metal articulated arms that form the shape of a giant rib cage over which the hog is supported and maneuvered. They asked me politely to not photograph their clever setup, hence no pics of the metal rib cage.

    Comment by 'magnus' in album 'Memphis in May 2018'

    This was an amazing event. I was there to learn but I also had a blast. I learned that I need to dramatically up my game before I can compete. Huge sponsorship is the envy of every team. That said, it is also important to have fun and enjoy the experience. The team I was allowed to join...
