Pork Tenderloin and Pork Roast
PC, There's really no need to water down the Apple Juice (don't use a juce "cocktail", as they call it - 100% juice). The natural sugars of the juice will assist in forming a good "Bark". I usally mix it with Apple Cider Vineger, and Cooking Oil. Don't use the the vinegar mix on Beef, such... -
Pork Tenderloin and Pork Roast
PC, Very nice pix! Glad everything turned out well. For future reference, it is NOT recommended to brine pork. More often than not, when combined with a salt based rub, it is too much. I would recommend injecting it with a fruit juice with herbs and spices (no salt) if you are seeking extra... -

You are correct! It is very important to clear the ashes from your Firebox during cooking, when you see them building up. This restricts air-flow and effects your cooking temps. I bought a 20 Gal. glavanized trash can (hard to find these days), and fill it about 6 inches on the bottom with... -

"Thin Blue Smoke" is the Nirvana of Smoking Meat. Learning proper smoke and heat control is mainly a trial and error method due to the fact that most cookers are quite different. What works for one may not work for another. Always make sure the damper on your chute (chimney) is wide open and... -

Dimmer switch?
Believe it or not, the old fashioned "Hot Plate" has seen more success than others. If you have sound electrical knowledge, the options are quite limitless. Jeff- soflaquer

Dimmer switch?
As an Electrical Contractor, I can tell you NOT to use a standard 600W dimmer. Find the "Name Plate" on your unit to see what wattage it draws and buy one accordingly. Jeff- soflaquer

My name's Jason, and I'm a smoke-a-holic
Welcome aboard, Jason! Webers turn out great 'Q. Unfortunately to do it right, it requires alot of unneccesary work if you had a true smoker. Dutch, I appreciate your assistance in helping me split some of these threads. It's been pretty hectic with my Dad. Jeff -

The dreaded "Hold Time", is what competitors fear the most. As Dutch stated, it is unusual in Poultry, but it does happen. Many factor may come into play.....but as they used to say on TV........"Don't touch that dial!". Having your signature "Q hit hold-time prior to turn in is your worst... -
doing my first smoked brisket this sunday
Cris, If you have access to rather clean 55 gal. drums and access to wood, you should try building a "Burn Barrel". There's a topic of mine on the site, and they're pretty easy to construct. I can't preach this enough to those with "Stick Burner" Smokers. If you want TRUE wood... -

Nice Bird, Rik. If you tone it down to "Thin Blue Smoke", your Bird may not be so dark. I can say say that it looks much better than the 1st Bird I ever tried eons ago! LOL! I have a good friend who lives in Edingurgh (Kilts and all!). Jeff -

First Smoke and first brisket
Good job Debi! I don't know if you mentioned, but what are you cooking on, that you had to cut the brisket in half? Just curious. Is there a Walmart Super Center near you? They carry Excel Full Packer Briskets. If yours doesn't, go to the Meat Manager, and he/she can order them for you. Be... -

Where to buy GOSM big block
Fuzzy, Glad I could help! A close friend of mine has been after a BB for some time, and the link I posted has been out of stock now for a while. I was happy to see the words "In Stock" when I checked it last. I guess they're gearing up for the Holiday rush. My Chili Verde recipe is very...- soflaquer
