    Lighting the AMPS?

    Update - I've been using AK1's idea with the hand sanitizer and I will never go back to the torch.  This is so freakin easy - it takes 5 seconds.  3 or 4 squirts on top of the pellets, touch it with a lighter or match and walk away for 5 or 10 minutes.  It gets a great cherry going.  I always...

    Big Rec Tec or smaller US made unit? Size VS Value

    You are opening up a huge can of worms with the question - mainly because everyone has their opinion.  I'll give you mine: I have a Rec Tec.  I got it after a bunch of research and I love it and have absolutely no issues with it.  From what I can tell, the vast majority of Rec Tec customers are...

    Smoking brisket #2 for Saturday - Need advice

    I do exactly what lemans said regarding temp and wrapping and I de-fat the broth and drippings once done and put it back in the pan with the brisket flat (see below).  I make burnt ends from the point. As far as trimming it goes, trim all the fat and silverskin from the side with the label and...

    Cabelas 5 lb Stuffer

    I got the Weston 11 lb vertical a couple years back and love it.  It has metal gears and the extra capacity is nice.  You can pick them up for 160 and occasionally find them on sale cheaper.

    Vertical Direct Smoker build...Is this plan solid?

    Nice build!  Did you ditch the oven window yet?  I would think you would lose a lot of heat through it.  I'm curious to hear your findings on that.

    Bradley smoker or pellet grill

    Go with the pellet grill.  More versatile due to its ability to smoke at high temp and sear if you need it.

    Andouille stuffed pork tenderloin

    I used a maple, hickory, cherry blend for wood. murraysmokin - The sausage was smoked after it was made, but I did a second cook/smoke on it that morning before stuffing it.  I knew I wouldn't take my tenderloin that hot and wanted to be sure to get the sausage to temp to render out some of the...

    I don't recall the exact time. I took it off at 145 IT. It was a bit over 2 hours if I remember correctly.

    First Time Brisket Smoke - The Jury Is Out

    Something doesn't add up to me.  a 12 lb packer trimmed a bit (guessing 10 lbs remaining) shouldn't take 20 hours at 225.  I'm wondering if it was overcooked and you have a thermometer issue.  Was your temp reading taken in the flat or the point?  If your point was at 190, your flat was likely...

    Brisket on the Rec Tec

    I picked up a 12.5 lb prime packer from Costco a few weeks ago and cooked it up on Saturday. Injected with beef broth and rubbed with a 50/50 salt and pepper mix. Smoked at 225 until 170 IT and then wrapped. Separated the flat and point when flat hit 200. Cubed up point for burnt ends. Burnt...

    I smoked it on my pellet grill at 250 and finished it under the broiler quickly to crisp the bacon.

    First Attempt at Pork Butt...

    Sounds good.  I would suggest spritzing with apple juice and just put water in the pan.  Good luck!
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
