    First Pork Butt ?s

    Its hard to overwhelm pulled pork with smoke since there isnt a lot of smokey, barky exterior after you pull it and mix it together. I personally go heavy on the smoke with PP so you get the flavor. Ribs are thin, so you can definitely over smoke those. What type of wood pellets did you use...

    Tonight's Chicken

    Looks great steve! What did you think of the flavor. Mesquite is a powerful wood. Usually for poultry the fruit woods give the best flavor without overpowering. I like apple and cherry mixed, but I may throw in some pecan. In the end though it is all personal preference, so if you liked the...

    Spares 3 ways, Roast Beast, and Pulled Pork Pizza on the PBC...

    Nothing wrong with olive oil! If you read meathead from amazingribs, who is a food scientist and really knows his stuff, he recommends always throwing in some oil. It wont penetrate the meat, but it coats and helps the malliard reaction, which is what gives the beef that beautiful browned...

    Smoking Time

    Google this Maverick ET-733 Long Range Wireless Dual Probe BBQ Smoker Meat Thermometer Set This is a really nice one and as of today majorly discounted on amazon, but there are versions at a bunch or price points. Most will have 2 wired Probes- one for pit temp at the grate that is way more...

    New cooker losing all heat out of chimney

    I agree with the above. The standard mod that many of us do on cheap offsets (although your rig is obviously NOT one of those) where you attach a piece of the flexible dryer vent hose to bring the exhaust down to grate level and secure to the inside is the lid would prob do the trick...and a...

    Nice! How much that one weigh? Serving a lot of people or is it a pot luck kind of deal?

    Roadside BBQ stand- advice please!

    Thanks for the advice RC4U. I agree...a good business plan and working hard are they keys. I have some homework to do before I can make a realistic business plan and since the only comparable businesses around are ice cream stands the market is a lot different. That's a blessing and a curse. No...

    Roadside BBQ stand- advice please!

    There are commercial wood smokers that are just as big, so that's a size thing more than a fuel type. A lot of the commercial gas smokers are automated so they don't need to be baby sat. Also they can be rotisserie shelves so you don't need to worry about hotspots etc. Their mid sized probably...

    Are these Beef Short Rib or Beef Back Rib?

    Those are actually short ribs. With the back ribs the bones are in the middle of the meat, not on the top like that pic. Doesn't really matter though. The 3-2-1 will be great like dirtsailor suggested.

    Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Smoker Mods

    Awesome mods and great looking ribs! I always cook my brisket cap up. Gravity baby...let that fat baste the brisket, but Im not sure it matters. Cook 2 at the same time and do a taste test. Id be willing to bet you wont see a difference.

    This would be a nice addition to the arsenal!

    They dont give prices on their website of course. They are awesome but I bet that thing costs as much as a car.
