    Problems trying to get a good smokey flavor.

    Thank you for the explanations! I was of the apparently false impression that we could order containers of Jeff's rub.

    Problems trying to get a good smokey flavor.

    I don't know what a smoke ring is. The meat seemed to be cooked pretty well, and pulled off nicely and was tender, but I didn't taste any smokey flavor. I used chunks of mesquite, and added some about every 20 minutes so it kept smoking. I taste the smoke in thinner cuts like pork chops and...

    Problems trying to get a good smokey flavor.

    Does ordering the recipe include a container of rub and of sauce, or just the recipe of how to make them, or both? This looks like the smoker I'm using: http://home.comcast.net/~day_trippr/smoker_mods.htm It says it's a Brinkmann but it doesn't look anything like the Brinkmanns I've seen at...

    Problems trying to get a good smokey flavor.

    I have a Master Forge vertical charcoal smoker that I modified and have been keeping at between 225 and 250 degrees when smoking, and I live about 40 miles north of Atlanta GA.  Today I checked the store pages 1, 10 and 15 for Jeff's Rub and found it's not available on any of them.

    Problems trying to get a good smokey flavor.

    In a recent post about thermometer problems I mentioned a Boston Butt which was my first long smoke. It went for about 8 hours holding pretty stedily at 250 degrees and it stayed smokey with misquite the whole time since I added wood often enough to keep it going. The meat cooked well and was...

    Thermometer problems....what to do???

    Thank you all for your help in understanding this. I'll return the Weber, and may at some point try the Maverick but will need to learn a few more things before attempting any more long smokes of larger cuts of meat. I'm going to post a new thread about problems getting a smokey flavor in which...

    Thermometer problems....what to do???

    I recently tried my first fairly long smoke. I read that a Boston Butt takes about 6 hours and that was the choice. I got a Weber Style barbecue thermometer and got the temp in the smoker to hang at about 250, and used a water pan. Everything seemed to be going pretty well for the first few...

    General newbie questions...

    Thank you again! I would love to stop soaking the wood and as you said it does mess up the fire. But people I talked to all said to soak it which is why I've been soaking it. All I know about is chips sold in a bag at Ace Hardware and Lowe's and it would be great to use something bigger than...

    General newbie questions...

    Thank you and everyone who has helped me so far! Yes it is the charcoal vertical smoker. At this point I just want to try learning to use a regular cheap thermometer, and then maybe move on to a more expensive one later...not whatever kind I got before, I'll have to check on that. You're right...

    General newbie questions...

    Hi, I'm very new to trying to use a smoker. Not being able to afford a nice expensive one I got a Master Forge at Lowe's for about $70 and after watching some youtube vids put dampers in the top and bottom, and made it so I can control the hole in the bottom that came with it. Also raised the...
