    Spare ribs QView

    Just unwrapped them. They smell great, but I think there may have been a little too much liquid in the wrap. We'll see how they turn out in an hour.

    Spare ribs QView

    I am doing the 3-2-1 method. This is an hour and a half in before spritzing with apple juice and cider vinegar.

    Spare ribs QView

    Just threw this rack on over pecan logs. I usually use a Kansas City style rub, but the brisket I did last weekend using Aaron Franklin's rub from his video (salt & pepper) turned out so good, so I'm using the rub he used in his rib video.

    Maintaining temp in offset smoker

    I used bruises briquettes, & they definitely created more ash than I would prefer. I need to get a charcoal basket that makes it easier to clear ash away for sure. Here are pictures for those who wanted to see: Inside the SFB SFB door Cooking chamber Wall between the charcoal and gas chambers.

    Maintaining temp in offset smoker

    I'm take done pictures tonight when I'm grilling steaks. There is a quarter inch thick piece of metal between the charcoal side and gas side.

    Maintaining temp in offset smoker

    I asked the owner about it, & he said they've made this design for years but are in the process of updating the website. It's setup like a Chargriller Duo...The left side and burner are propane while the right side and SFB are for charcoal and wood. I didn't pay any attention to the stack on...

    Maintaining temp in offset smoker

    I talked to their owner the other day, and he gave me a few pointers since he uses the same pit at home. I'll post some pictures of the inside soon. I like the idea of heating the other side up.

    Maintaining temp in offset smoker

    I'm not sure if this topic or something similar is already posted, but I couldn't find it using Tapatalk, so I thought I would start a new thread. The cooking area on my new smoker is about 30" wide (the right half of the attached image), & I have a large round smoker box. It seems to hold heat...

    ADVICE: Need a new grill - Weber vs. Char-Griller

    I just replaced my CG Duo with SFB with a model with the same setup from Pits by JJ. It was pretty pricey, but I'll have this thing forever since it's made of 1/4" thick metal. The smoker portion has performed better than i hoped, but I had one issue with the propane side pulling too much air...

    First brisket in years

    I think it should be, although you would pretty much end up with corned beef.

    First brisket in years

    I was wondering something similar today. This one cooked faster than planned, so I put it in the cooler wrapped in foil & towels at 190 IT around 1:00 but didn't cut it until a little before 7. It was still nice and hot, but I'm not sure how much longer it would've stayed that way.

    5.5# Shoulder Q-View

    7 hours in & finally to 165 IT. Decided to cover in a roasting pan instead of wrapping in hopes of keeping more of the bark.

    The brisket reached 190 about 2 hours ago. It's in the cooler, & the shoulder is at 155.

    Thanks...it's probably going to be done earlier than planned, but that just means we get a little snack before dinner which will be brisket & pulled pork poboys. I started a football season tradition a few years ago called "Eat the opponent" in which I grill something from the town of the team...

    First brisket in years

    Just wrapped at 170 & threw on a bone-in pork shoulder. There's going to be a lot of leftover meat to stick in the deep freeze.

    One hour in. The fire is tricky tonight since it's in the low 50's. I'm having to add a lot more wood than expected.
