    Never used Brinkmann Smoke'n Pit SmokeKing

    My dad gave me a Brinkman Smoke'n Pit Smoke King vertical smoker, never used it before and had some questions about it. I noticed there is no vent or anything up top, anybody have a suggestion on how to modify it for one. Also, the bottom is open around the charcoal bowl, any suggestions on...

    Two small butts question?

    Well I finally got everything put on at 7:45am this morning. Put the pork on separate racks as well made a batch of the 'Wicked Baked Beans' everyone talks about here. I'll tell you what these are cooking considerably faster than I thought. Have the temp at 225. It's not 9:45 and the smaller...

    Two small butts question?

    I think I may have bought the wrong meat. The are called 'Pork Shoulder Blade Boston Roast". Wasn't paying attention, say the word Boston and figured they were the right things. Sometimes I buy them and they say 'Boston Butt' but these don't. You guys think they'll be okay? Here's a pic of...

    I'm a new smoker!

    Okay, let me correct myself. It's not that I don't like ribs, I just don't like the ribs that I smoke. I'm born and raised in Kansas City, home of the greatest ribs in the world, sorry anybody from the Memphis area, but its true :-) I've tried smoking pork baby back ribs several times just...

    I'm a new smoker!

    I've posted a few things last summer when I got my first smoker. Told my wife I wanted to be a 'smoker' and she got a little upset until she relized what I was talking about. I first got a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker that I modified with the vent on top. Liked it and then said if I want to be...

    Two small butts question?

    thanks for everyone's input. Something else I thought about was how much smoke to be using? I usually only smoke for no more than 2 hours. The amount of smoke and the type is what i've been trying to play around with. Not a big fan of the Hickory or Mesquite. Anyone have a suggestion or two...

    Two small butts question?

    I'm going to smoke two small butt's, never have done two at a time on a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker. Please no bad comments from the real smokers out there about using the electric :-) Only using electric because I will be finishing up putting in my sprinkler system the same day and don't want...

    Trying Brisket for the first time.

    Well everyone the brisket turned out pretty good. Had a few people over and everyone loved it. Of course, as the cook, I thought it could have been better, but the masses said it was really good. Everything worked out pretty good. I started at 10am and smoked cooked for a little over 2...

    Trying Brisket for the first time.

    Hey Illini, yes I did get those mod's on the smoker. To control the vent I used a 5inch pipe nipple and attched a gas valve to the top of it to control the opening of the vent. I'll have to take a pic. and let you see. I've used it a couple of times since and the problem from before seems to...

    Trying Brisket for the first time.

    I'm going to try and smoke a brisket for the first time this weekend. I have a Masterbuilt Electric smoker that I will be using. The smoker has a digital thermostat so I can keep the temp pretty constant. I've done ribs, pork butts, sausage but this is my first go around with brisket. I've...

    Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse

    Hey Illini, have a question about your modification to the MB Electric smoker. I have the same smoker and was looking into putting the vent on. Couple questions for you if you don't mind. You start out by drilling the 1 3/8inch hole in the top and you place a 1 inch long black pipe nipple...

    Advice on smoking ribs

    I am new to smoking and bought a Masterbuilt Electric smoker. I have tried smoking some pork baby back ribs twice and have not been to pleased. The first time was pretty bad, felt like I was eating a piece of hickory wood. Realized the first time I had way to much smoke. Also, my ribs were...
