    Which charcoal brand do you use?

    B&B for me. They are a hassle to get. And worth it.

    Pellet vs charcoal smoker

    I have had one of these for over a year now. It can crank up to 700 degrees. I can use it as a charcoal grill and it will maintain precise grilling temps. Or I can but some wood chunks in the hopper and it does a great job as a smoker. At the worst if I am in a hurry I get great flavor from the...

    Torn between a pellet smoker and a gravity smoker. What do you guys think?

    I burn my 560 off at 700 degrees each time before use. Kind of like a self cleaning oven. And this works.

    Favorite woods for smoking

    It is hard to find woods for smoking locally here. So I order in bulk online to save on shipping. To say I can run down the street and get a mix of woods to try would be a lie. I have to make wise decisions when ordering wood.

    Favorite woods for smoking

    I have been using Cherry for beef and pork and prefer the smoke flavor over the other woods I have tried. A couple of weeks ago I tried Pecan for chicken for the first time. Cherry is better. I am doing a bulk wood order with Fruitawood. Looks like Cherry it is. All the smoking woods I have...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    I crank my 560 up to 700 degrees for burn off before every cook and no probe can survive that much heat except the Masterbuilt probes. I take my Inkbird probes out and watch the dial on the front of the smoker. When it reaches 700 degrees I reset to a lower temp and when that levels out I put...

    Refridgerated vacuum sealed food shelf life

    Refridgerated vacuum sealed food shelf life

    USDA doesn't address vacuum sealing here. To say that meats vacuum sealed are the same verses those meats that are not doesn't sound correct to me.

    Refridgerated vacuum sealed food shelf life

    The question is how long will grilled, fully cooked chicken, last in a refriderator if vacuum sealed? I am not seeing this on the USDA guidelines. I am not asking about removing raw chicken from a Styrofoam tray , vac sealing, and putting it the fridge.
