    A Nice Get Together

    Amazing way to honor a lost loved one. I do something similar for my son every year. He and I shared the love of BBQ and smoking meats. I'll never be able to make ribs better than he did, but to honor his passing, I smoke ribs on the anniversary of his passing...the last text message i have...

    4th of July Brisket (My 2nd Attempt at Brisket)

    My phone notifications using the Pit Boss app, but of course I am putting my trust in technology, and it could absolutely lead me to a wasted cook one day, but the whole reason I went the pellet pooper route was to basically have "set it and forget it."

    4th of July Brisket (My 2nd Attempt at Brisket)

    The model Pit Boss I have has one built in, and it's connected via Wi-Fi, which has proven to be incredibly reliable to me. Initially, there was some slight variation in temp between the built in probe, which is on the far left of the cook chamber, and where I like to place my protein, on the...

    4th of July Brisket (My 2nd Attempt at Brisket)

    Had a prime brisket for my second try at brisket. The first go went well, everyone enjoyed it, but I knew it could be improved on. On the first attempt I tried a rub that I personally ended up not caring for, so for this second one, I decided to go with a more (Texas) traditional style, even...

    Pocket knife suggestions

    I completely understand that, I was the same exact way. But since mine was a gift from my kids it helped me start using mine like I would one of my normal cheap knives. Now I actually enjoy using it, lol.

    【Awesome Gift for Fathers】67%off for INKBIRD food vacuum sealer--Just $28.99

    Figured I would update this thread. The lightning deal is no longer valid, and I couldn't get the provided code above to work, but there was still a coupon that I was able to "clip" and get the 50% off!

    Chuck Roast smoking temp

    I smoked two 3lb'ers last weekend overnight, so I did low and slow, for slicing, as a poor mans brisket. After 10 hours at 180 the bark was set so I wrapped and increased the temp to 275 for another 4 hours and it was probe tender, I think 196 internal. Rested for three hours and was delicious.

    Pocket knife suggestions

    I used to carry nothing but cheap, replaceable once dull knives. Because I never saw the purpose of spending a lot of money on one. The most expensive pocket knife I carried was a CRKT, up until my birthday this year. My kids chipped in and got me a Benchmade. A Claymore. By far my most...

    Always Wear Your Cut Resistant Gloves When

    Just ordered my first pair of cut resistant gloves. Unfortunately, only got the idea to do so once it was too late, sitting in the ER waiting to be stitched up! Got my first brisket to smoke Sunday, and was so damn excited to get home and get it trimmed so I could rub it and get it on the...

    Novice Checking In

    Been very interested in smoking meat for a long while, and a few years ago got an electric Masterbuilt cabinet smoker and used a pellet tray for my smoke. Never really got much success with that smoker, and although I would get some good tasting food, to me, it lacked a real smoke flavor/taste...

    I was hesitant at first, but actually really enjoyed it! Very easy to work with and prepare and tasted great! I’d use it again without question.

    Way more hickory pellets in my Amaz-e-n tray than I needed, lol.

    2nd Time Making Jerky - Teriyaki

    Thank you! Every time I go to the store to buy my meat, I say, "Ok, gonna to do a moderate size batch." And I end up at home with 5lbs, lol. But it's good, because it goes QUICK.

    2nd Time Making Jerky - Teriyaki

    Decided to try my second attempt at jerky (and my second time using my MES40) and went with a teriyaki jerky this time. First time was 6lbs of 93/7 ground beef through my jerky pistol. This time it was 5lbs of flank steak. It marinated for 48 hours. Smoked it at 145 for 6 hours in 8 degree...

    New Guy From Illinois

    Thank you for the heads up. Took it out and kneaded it some more, and was sure to get all the air pockets out as well!

    New Guy From Illinois

    Decided a nice and easy off the shelf seasoning and cure combo would be best for my first crack at this. Bought some Hi Mountain Hickory seasoning and cure from Cabela’s and 6lbs of 93/7 lean ground beef. Mixed it up and put it in the refrigerator. Will run it through the Jerky Pistol and...
