    Great Cleaning Pit Boss 850CS

    I use a small electric pressure washer, take them off hand on the fence and wash, back on the smoker and fire it up to dry off, while they are off clean the plate and ashes out.

    Decent Skirt Steak on Gas Grill?

    Get a Weber cast iron griddle plate, throw it on there and let it heat up, best of both worlds imo, burgers are better also

    Galvanized Metal Studs in Smoke House Build

    Id leave the top open to some degree as you will have stuff dripping pretty good, I would test during winter and summer and mark the 2 best settings, then fine tune with the bottom vent

    Galvanized Metal Studs in Smoke House Build

    Also make the top vents easy to take off to clean or replace, they will stop up over a period of time

    Galvanized Metal Studs in Smoke House Build

    Also I would put a tapered roof on it so condensation can run down the walls instead of dropping off the ceiling

    Galvanized Metal Studs in Smoke House Build

    I wouldn’t put fans in it and just small adjustable vents, the more air movement the more heat it will take, i dont see a little heat transfer will hurt as you lose some regardless of what it is up against, if never over 200 I would use cedar, after a few smokes it will be sealed up and probably...

    Fridge used for Umai dry aging

    Smoke time for Summer sausage

    NY strips can't do, is it just me?

    I have had some good strips cooked at home and some tiugh ones, have used everything under the sun but still not as good as a ribeye most of the time, I have a 3 riw Jacard and use it along with pineapple or Adolfs, I really miss the steak flavor they use to have

    Smoke time for Summer sausage

    I have never dried while using my mes, meats take smoke better when they are we/moist, never had any to smokey and I go the whole time on it and put a probe in to tell when done

    Is Heart-Healthy Bacon an impossible oxymoron?

    I think a brine is more accurate than a dry rub, the salt and cure is added in and no washing the unused salt rub off after set time,
