    No sauce

    Although not my intent I am finding that meat smoked with good rubs/spices taste so good adding BBQ sauce takes away from the taste.

    Getting the right amount of smoke for taste

    Different woods give different flavors. I've tried a bunch but cherry works best for me.

    Masterbuilt 560 tips

    The flavor from the charcoal and wood chunks combined gives foods smoked in a 560 a great smoke flavor. ACE Hardware is where I get my B&B.

    Masterbuilt 560 tips

    Had my 560 about 4 years now. I keep a large supply of 3x3 cherry wood chunks on hand and when I fill my hopper with charcoal I put a cherry chunk in it every 6". B&B Competition Charcoal Briquets work best for me. It's all flat farm land here and the wind can be brutal causing the 560 to burn...

    Vacuum sealing juicy stuff

    Some good suggestions about Pulse Mode and partial freezing for my next smoke. I think I've had my Lem about 4 years now and never tried pulse. Did a little online research about pulse.

    Frozen BBQ.

    My freezer is in the garage. When I smoke pork shoulders I set the vacuum sealer and a kitchen scale up in the garage and the smoker outside in front of the garage. I put a probe in each butt and set the alarms then go to bed. When the alarms go off I pull the pork, weight it (1 pound per...

    Frozen BBQ.

    We don't eat much brisket but there is always a hefty supply of pulled pork in our freezer. Kroger's has BOGO sales on pork shoulders and I'll buy (2) 10 pound shoulders at smoke both at the same time. These get vacuum sealed and frozen in one pound packages. It's fast food for us. We can take...

    Never let a piece of brisket go unused.

    The local butcher started selling brisket patties a few months ago. I'll never buy hamburger again.

    Thermoworks RFX 2 month review

    Have used it through (2) 10 hour smokes and (2) 4 hour smokes. Bought the (2) probe package. Love the app (IOS) and overall ease of use. Overall it has worked perfectly with the exception of one probe. Battery life is only 2 hours on this probe. Thermoworks tried to troubleshoot the app/probe...

    Kitchen/poultry sheers&knives

    Best thing to do is read some reviews. There are shears with bad features. Some are suggested here.
