    Slaughter House Brine

    How did they turn out for you? Definitely boil the ingredients - not for long - just heat it up and the flavors will mix.

    Masterbuilt Smokers (Bear’s Thoughts & Findings)

    I don't think anyone can get great smoked meat out of the MES without the AMPNS - you can get the tubes too - they work great as well!

    Chicken for the first time

    That is a great article - I never knew that about the calcification of the bones. Being an Engineer, I like when things make sense. Last night we smoked a chicken to an IT of 1600 and took it off. It was tough, the bones didn't pull easy - so I cooked it at 275 (from 225) for 40 more minutes...

    Favorite BBQ Sauce!

    Theres the Budweiser which is great, and the KC version from Guy Fietti is also great. But...... I go with Sweet baby rays, add a little garlic and hot sauce - or KC masterpiece. I don't like a super sweet - overly sugared sauce like you get at BBQ joints most of the time. Ive made my own a...

    Prime Beef Ribs

    Ive never done the 321 method on beef ribs - so I bought an extra half rack today to do the test. My ribs are on - 3  1/2 racks with probes in 2 of them. One for my "natural method" of 8-9 hrs, and the other for the 3-2-1 method and foiled. It never turns out like Bears stuff - I think theres...

    Chicken for the first time

    Im going to do that next time as well. Ive been a stickler for Chicken at 225, and it takes 7 hrs, and sometimes its still pink. Causes a lot of pain in the house when the wife is Hangry !! So, Ive vowed to go to 250-275 for chickens and BRINE is something I am convinced to try a well. Thanks...

    3-2-1 Ribs question

    The 3-1-2 method, or 4-1-1, has worked for me, and for me its typically the 6hrs that's magic at 225

    Electric smoker temperature

    I had an electric brinkman - 1200 watt element - was set to 225. My new smoker goes to 275 - I only go there last 15 mins of chicken to crisp up the skin.

    Smoking Disasters / Have you ever ruined anything you smoked?

    I typically cook my beef ribs at 225 for 9 hrs. How long and what temp do you usually do?

    Bottom Round Roast

    That was the worst piece of meat I ever smoked! Never again. It looked great, but very tough. Cutting it thin was the only way to eat it, and then taking it and throwing in crock pot and making French dips made real good sandwiches! So, not a total loss, but I was amazed that it didn't break...

    Brisket Question

    Finally brisket done right.... 3rd try

    That looks good - I was curious about the smoke ring too. How long was the smoke? I don't inject my brisket, it makes it taste like pot roast - the Brisket flavor is unique and best not covered up. IMHO
