    Sauce Burning?

    I was referring mostly to Pittmasters. Looks like they are constantly basting the meat with sauce.

    Sauce Burning?

    I posted this in the general discussion section, but also wanted to post here. I keep reading where you are not supposed to apply your sauce on pork/beef/etc. until the last 1/2 hour because the sugar in the sauce will burn. I have read this tip quite a bit. However, I see the same websites tell...

    Sauce Burning? What?

    I keep reading where you are not supposed to apply your sauce on pork/beef/etc. until the last 1/2 hour because the sugar in the sauce will burn. I have read this tip quite a bit. However, I see the same websites tell you to apply your sauce often and liberally throughout the cook and it looks...

    St Louis Style Rib Smoking Issue

    Do you just stick it in between the lid and the smoker body? I will probably do this until I can upgrade. I have a Taylor one I use for the meat I am pretty sure is accurate. I will calibrate it tonight using the boil method. Thanks!

    St Louis Style Rib Smoking Issue

    I'm working on it, 60.00 is something I may have to wait a couple of weeks for. I looked around and found out that ideal is 250 and warm is 200. It was right in the middle of ideal and warm, so I estimated at 225. Have to work with what I have for the time being.

    Brisket Temp Increase After Smoking?

    It was a 4.5 pounder. The butcher said he would leave the fat on since we were smoking it, and I trimmed some off but it seemd to be running heavily through the cut. Honestly, I have gotten better cuts at Target! I figured I pulled it off too early. Next time (Sunday), I will pull it off at...

    Smoker Meat Thermometer?

    I have been doing some reading and it looks like everyone prefers the Maverick ET-732. Basically, I am looking for a thermometer for the meat and the smoker that is wireless. Has anyone had any luck with any others or should I go for this one? I am looking to stay under 100.00 for sure. Thanks!

    Brisket Temp Increase After Smoking?

    So I smoked my 2nd brisket the other day. I pulled it off at 170 and wrapped it in foil, a towel, and placed it in a cooler. I assumed this would allow the juices to settle, and bring the temp up to 180+. I let it sit for 45 minutes and then cut into it. It was still FULL of fat and the fat...

    St Louis Style Rib Smoking Issue

    I am basing it off the tem guage on the front of the smoker. It reads Warm-Ideal-Hot. I am in the process of getting a thermometer. It has been between Warm and Ideal and up to ideal at the warmest. I filled the bottom pan about 1/2 to 3/4 full of charcoal. Thanks. Yeah, I bought 4 because they...

    St Louis Style Rib Smoking Issue

    1st post, thanks for looking. I attempted to smoke ribs for the 1st time on a Brinkman charcoal smoker. I went to the butcher and bought 4 racks, each rack weighing about 1.5 pounds. I had the temp at about 225-250 and for whatever reason, they were done (at 170) in about 45 minutes each time...
