    Wings...and Ribs

    Maybe I'm an idiot but aren't both meats raw either way so what does it matter which one is on top and bottom?

    First time doing ribs

    Did you change to the 2-2-1 method like that guy said? I learned with them ribs 6 hours is just to long (it becomes mushy) hence why I'm trying the 2-2-1 method next time. The foil def is awesome when you put honey and brown sugar in it. When you unwrap the foil for the last hour it's so juicy ...

    Thinking of trading my WSM for an electric smoker

    I have been debating about buying a masterbilt electric smoker. Not necessarily selling my charcoal weber smokey mountain. Cause I enjoy it when I have the time. But I hear and feel I would be more sufficient and easier to buy an electric or propane smoker. Plus I don't like the layout of my...
