    Help needed with menu choices

    One thing I love (my wife not as much) is bbq pulled pork mac n' cheese.  You take any ole baked mac 'n cheese recipe and add BBQ sauce and pulled pork to it.  Boil the noodles, toss them in a bowl with milk, bunches of shredded cheese, a little flour, etc., then add pulled pork and BBQ sauce to...

    2nd brisket. Wood question

    Make sure you are keeping your smoke thin and blue.  Are you sure the strong smoke flavor wasn't creosote?  I've found that brisket can take on a lot of smoke with some heavier woods (like Hickory) and not be overpowering.  Then again, each person has their own preferences and definitions of...

    Can I do chicken in 10 hours?

    Yep - I don't think it would work either.  Chicken ain't like a pork butt.  It would dry out or if you cooked it too low it would spoil.

    New to the sight. Looking for a smoker around Raleigh NC

    As for where to get a smoker, I got mine on Craigslist.  Granted I am in a different region than you, but with how popular BBQ is in the Carolinas, I'm sure you could find a decent pit within 3-4 hours driving distance.  You obviously have to be choosey about who and where you buy from.  Some...

    Just curious if anyone else has this problem

    HAHA. Glad I stumbled across this thread. When I light my charcoal in the chimney, it puts off a bunch of nasty smoke for about 7-10 minutes.  A couple months ago our neighbors nextdoor complained that the smoke got in their bedroom windows since they leave them open.  On the one hand it...

    what fuel is best?

    Also, if you have the right charcoal/wood unit and learn how to use it, temp regulation isn't too difficult. At first I had a lot of trouble while learning. Now that I've done it for a while, I can consistently keep my temp where I want to be, or at least fluctuating within 10-15 degrees. If...

    what fuel is best?

    I like a good stickburner smoker myself as well. There's something about sitting around stoking a fire and feeding it wood. Sure it isn't nearly as easy and convenient as an electric or propane smoker. And I would probably smoke more things if I had an MES or something because I don't often...

    fireing up the lang.

    Great looking bbq, and nice smoker.  Hard to beat a Lang..  Wish I had one.

    Wood usage in a LANG

    I have a 36" reverse flow smoker that was custom-built.  It isn't a Lang but is similar in size and operation. I use splits that are about 6-8" in length and maybe 2-3" in diameter.  I've found that, for my pit, I can keep a small, hot fire a lot better with smaller splits that combust faster...

    Meat Cooking Too Fast

    I would suggest not temp probing ribs...  Your problem may be that the probe is either protruding somewhere and is reading the heat in the cooking chamber.   What type of ribs are they?  Baby backs, St. Louis, or Spares?  I'd keep them cooking as they are for another hour if BBs and another 2...

    All day cook for work party

    Well it turned out pretty good. I did end up cutting it too close on time...  Had to pull the brisket off maybe 30-45 minutes before I would have liked to, but it was still delicious and tender enough to get some nice compliments.  It wasn't perfect by my standards, but I think most of us on...

    All day cook for work party

    I'll be alright. All 3 cuts of meat were 9 pounds. Cooking at 275 I should get around an hour per pound. Started at 5:00 this morning and party isn't until 5 pm.

    Smoking Sausage 101

    Thanks Reinhard. I run a stick burner, so I think the best time for me to do sausage will be in another few weeks when the temp starts getting colder. I will be able to keep my smoker temp cooler if it's cold outside. DS - awesome post in the taco sticks. Very good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
