    Opinions on cabinet smokers

    Lang is not insulated, but is 1/4”. Insulated is a two layers of a thinner gauge metal with a heat barrier in between. Holds heat a lot better and uses less fuel. Should also keep more consistent temperatures. Boathouse will make an insulated smoker, but it adds a lot to the cost and makes it...

    Opinions on cabinet smokers

    I talked to someone who owns one of the non-insulated cabinets and he said he has a hard time controlling the temperature. I no longer have the time or patience to babysit a smoker, so back to looking at an insulated cabinet.

    Opinions on cabinet smokers

    I’ve talked to them a little bit. Upside is they have good prices and are local. Downside is their normal smokers are not insulated. They are very thick steel, but not being insulated loses some of the advantage that the other cabinet smokers have. I’m going to find out if he can make me a...

    Man, that’s crazy. I live in Baton Rouge and have never heard of them. Definitely looking into these.

    Opinions on cabinet smokers

    I’ll be moving in the next 6 months, and I will finally have a yard where I can fit a large smoker. I’ve pretty much decided on a cabinet style smoker. I like offsets, but I want to be able to put it on a little trailer that I have for potentially tailgating with it. There are a lot of models...

    First briskets on my Rec Tec

    It’s my first time using the media upload on this site, looks like I had the album set to private.

    First briskets on my Rec Tec

    43B17050-1994-44DF-9467-AEC3FCFF4D16 by Killa J posted Jun 21, 2018 at 7:45 AM Here’s the second one before I sliced it. The only downside to using the sous vide to reheat is that the bark is wet from the juices. The “burnt ends” went faster than I expected, the second shift didn’t even get to...

    First briskets on my Rec Tec

    Brisket was a hit. I’ve still got more to slice for other shifts, so I’m going to try it in about an hour.

    DDAA53BB-A754-48FE-A2C6-BBDD324E3DFC by Killa J posted Jun 21, 2018 at 7:45 AM Still waiting on everyone to eat. I was told to slice it, but the sides were not ready yet. I’ll add a pic of a whole brisket when I take the next one out to slice. I also tried to make burnt ends, but I was pressed...

    First briskets on my Rec Tec

    I decided to make brisket for everyone at work. It ends up being around 30 people, so I did 3 12 pound briskets. I didn’t think 2 would be enough. Cooked them right at 12 hours, about 9.5 at 215, then wrapped and cooked the remainder at 275. I wasn’t sure how long it would take because I hadn’t...

    Bears BBB posting got me motivated!

    I have a pellet grill and can’t get anywhere as low as 130. However, on a sunny day the internal temp of the smoker is usually around 125 for most of the day. Think I could use a smoke tube and the natural heat from the sun to make this?

    Mayonnaise rub on ribs

    Regular mayo. Funny enough, I’ve never tried Miracle Whip.

    Mayonnaise rub on ribs

    See if this works. Now that Photobucket doesn’t allow linking to pics, I have trouble. They’re not the best ribs I’ve ever made, but they came out moist and tender.

    Mayonnaise rub on ribs

    I know it sounds weird. But I used to squirt squeeze Parkay on my 3-2-1 ribs, so mayonnaise isn’t a heck of a lot different.

    Mayonnaise rub on ribs

    Thanks Al. I should have done one my usual way and one with the mayo, but I mixed up too much rub/mayo and didn’t want to throw any away.

    Mayonnaise rub on ribs

    I made two racks of ribs with a little different twist than I usually do. I know a lot of people use mustard as a base to make the rub stick, but I always found the moisture of the meat let the rub stick fine by itself. Then I saw a chicken recipe made with mayonnaise instead of mustard as the...
