    First Smoke in the Smokin-It Model 1

    Thanks, some good info! I went off of Jeff's recipe on his site, so im sure it was geared towards non-electric smoker. I'll delay it a bit next time.

    First Smoke in the Smokin-It Model 1

    That makes sense, but I didn't have either. Seems like the rub kind of disappeared??

    Reheating Pork Butt?

    Thanks for the tips. I just pulled it as it was 198 degrees. I was a little disappointed to see that the foil was punctured on the bottom. Must have happened when I was putting it on the grate. Some of the juices had leaked out. Hopefully not enough to dry it out! I added another layer of foil...

    Reheating Pork Butt?

As in the original poster kept getting cresote etc. I merely meant...

    SmokinTex 1400 owners out there?? Help me get TBS.

    I just read through this entire thread as I'm attempting my first pork butt smoke tomorrow in my Smokin-it Model 1 (similar design, but smaller than the OP's). What bothers me a little bit is that people are paying hundreds of dollars for a unit and then having to drill holes etc. to get it to...

    My Chicken Wing Brine Recipe

    I may be new to smoking, but not new to cooking so I thought I'd contribute a little something to this site. I love making buffalo wings and tinkered with a few brines before I came up with this one. It is fantastic and you dont even need wing sauce they are so good!  The recipe is for 1 pound...
