    Rib bend & toothpick test?

    I made baby back ribs for the second time yesterday. Used the 3-2-1 method. They came out juicy and tasty but the downfall was I think they were overcooked. I know ribs are suppose to fall off the bone but mine slid off way to much to the point when I started cutting them they just fell apart...

    Maintaining temp on WSM???

    How much was ur blower and what exactly is it for? I don't think I'll ever smoke without water I just feel it makes the meat much more moist. Does the blower sort of maintain temp or no?

    Maintaining temp on WSM???

    That's really great tip...I never thought so much of that wood could be used but yes I have the 18.5. Just curious but how do u get a constant temp of 225 rather then my temps usually being between 240-250ish. Or does that really not matter with that little of difference close to 225. Cuz I...

    How come every smoking book has different cooking times for ribs??

    Ok done my cook. Now this is dumb question but is there such thing as "overcooked" but not where they weren't tender. I took the ribs off and let rest for 20 minutes or so and when I started cutting it up it was just falling apart? Obvy it's best when it slides off the bone but I feel it may...

    Beer Can Chicken

    I'm attempting my first beer can chicken tomorrow. I didn't have time to brine it so just have dry rub on it for a few hours. From what it seems cooking it at high temp is key because I've cooked wings 3 times and they came out rubbery every time no matter what I changed. I tried crisping them...

    How come every smoking book has different cooking times for ribs??

    Ok then I should be fine. I actually am going to try something different this time with something I saw on BBQ pit masters all stars on Thursdays episodes. When I wrap them in tin foil I will be putting brown sugar, honey, and butter and then wrapping them up. I will def post a pic of my ribs...

    How come every smoking book has different cooking times for ribs??

    I have 4 smoking books that are awesome and helpful. But every one has different cooking times for how long it takes for ribs to cook in smoker. Some say 3 hours vs some saying 4-6 hours at 225-250...I usually keep my smoker between 230-250 for whatever. The first time I cooked ribs it took...
