    Smoking some BB ribs

    Having my parents over and going to do some BB ribs. Thinking of going with hickory and apple wood. Simple chili powder and paprika rub. Still finishing the thaw process.

    New iGrill mini

    I have had pretty good luck with the iGrill 1.  I recently sent them a message about probes that are straight so they would fit through my smoker vent.  They got back to me right away stating they only offered the curved probe.  I was able to bend the probe a little bit so it does now fit...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I recently bought a Cookshack 025 from the Charcoal store online.  I had it in a few days and shipping was free.  As others mentioned, the price of a Cookshack is more.  So far I really like it and the construction quality is great.

    How much wood to use?

    I recently purchased a Cookshack 025 so I am just learning myself.  One thing I can say is that 2 oz is too much for a whole chicken in my opinion.  4oz was good for a 6 lb pork butt.  I think I used 3 oz for 4 slabs of baby back ribs and that was good. That is all that I have experimented with...

    Successfully bent iGrill ver 1 probe

    Hello All, I recently purchased a Cookshack Smokette Elite 025 and I already had an iGrill meat thermometer which I liked to use.  The new smoker came with a built in meat probe, but I like the remote monitoring of the iGrill.  Unfortunately the vent hole on the top of the smoker was not large...

    Peach wood

    Thanks for the tips on the type of meat to use it on. Using an electric smoker that amount of wood should last a long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Meat markets near Jackson, MI

    Yes, I really like West Texas BBQ. It is by far some of the best BBQ that I have had in the state of Michigan. I really like there hot links. The hours are not the most convenient so I only really get the chance to eat there when I have the day off. Smokehouse 52 in Chelsea has some decent...

    Peach wood

    My dad just dropped off some peach wood from a tree of his that died last year. It smells great, but it might need some time to season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pork butt going on Cookshack

    Throwing some slaw on the sandwich did cross my mind. I tend to prefer mayo slaw on a sandwich, but your idea with the hot sauce is something I will have to try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pork butt going on Cookshack

    Here are some shots of the final product. I started to run out of time so I foiled and finished in the oven for the last 15 degrees. I smoked 8.5 hours at 240 and it only hit 180. It was excellent tasting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Meat markets near Jackson, MI

    Hi, I live near Jackson, MI and they have a couple of nice meat markets.  One is A&A II which is a larger meat market with reasonable prices and good quality meat.  I picked up a pork butt for $2.09 a pound yesterday.  It is a busy place and they go through a lot of meat, but they always have...
