    A-MAZE-N SMOKER trial run

    This maze could be the solution to my salmon smoking problem. I have never cared for the salmon jerky that I get from my BSKD...can't keep the temp low enough. I prefer smoked salmon like they serve at nice restaurants and fancy brunch buffets. Cold smoked salmon, technically, should never go...

    3-2-1 Ribs with qview

    sorry you got sick. Damn fine looking ribs.

    since people are asking rib questions, I'll pose mine...

    should the cooking time still be 5-6 hours -- equivalent to 3-2-1 total?

    since people are asking rib questions, I'll pose mine...

    My baby backs and st. louis pork ribs usually taste good, but they always seem to cook to the point of falling off the bone. Using the 3-2-1 or 2-2-1, they always emerge from the foil-braising falling to pieces. Should I modify to a, a 3-1-1, or is there an eyeball test that would clue me in to...

    question about beef rib roasts and tenderloins...

    I can definitely stoke the fire up to get higher temps in my smoker, but I thought the whole point was "low and slow". You recommend more heat and shorter duration for these cuts?

    question about beef rib roasts and tenderloins...

    I know when I oven-roast prime rib and tenderloin, I pull it from the oven around 120 degrees knowing that "temp creep" will take it to a final temp around 130 while it rests -- just the way I like it. Of course, in the oven I am roasting around 300-350 degrees most of the time. Since I have not...

    Frying Turkey

    I have this one, and have been very pleased. I have fried two turkeys so far and done several low country boils. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...009000_325-9-0

    question regarding leaner pork, like loin roasts and tenderloins

    Do you guys stick with your "low and slow" smoking, or do you crank the heat up and cook those with higher heat, more like roasting? I have some loins and tenderloins, and as lean as they are, I don't want to dry them out. Even at a higher temperature, they will still benefit from the smoke...

    Good morning all...

    I am trying my first fattie today. Do you guys precook any of your filler ingredients (aside from eggs of course)? I am using bell pepper, mushrooms, and onions. From most folks' qvue, it looks like the veggies go in raw, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

    was thinking about adding mushrooms to some ABT's...

    I would saute them first to get as much of the water out of them as I could, then mix them with the other fillers. Anyone have an experience that would talk me out of this?

    packer or flat???

    Looks like you're getting great advice here, but I will add one thing. The flat, being leaner and smaller, is far more apt to end up too dry. I know I have had trouble with them. Some people on the board insist their smoked flats are tender and moist every time, but I haven't shared their good...

    2 butts w/Q-view

    Maybe it's a southern thang.

    2 butts w/Q-view

    I do the same thing, fwiw. Often times my spritz or mop, if I do it, is straght cider vinegar. And straight cider vinegar in the foil as well, though after joining this site, I have started adding a little apple juice. But just a little.

    Only 1 probe? When do I go from ambient to the meats.?

    how do you keep smoke build-up off of your oven therm? I have tried using one before, and I couldn't read it after a few hours. Of course, that was before I learned that the heavy, white, billowing smoke was BAD...

    question about insulating a BKSD (BBQEngineer and others?)

    Thank you much, BBQE

    question about insulating a BKSD (BBQEngineer and others?)

    I have a BSKD with many of the commonly recommended modifications, and it performs quite well for me. But during the colder months it is a bit of a challenge to maintain adequate temps. After seeing BBQEngineer's double-walled masterpiece, I was wondering if I couldn't try to insulate my smoker...

    Brisket is a little dry...

    I will be following this thread to see what kind of responses you get. I suspect I know one answer...you mentioned a 5-6 lb brisket which probably means you're only smoking a flat cut -- not a whole brisket. Brisket flats are all I have tried so far, and all but one have been a bit dry for my...

    Bone in or boneless?

    In fact, I smoked three of them for a July 4 party for over 100 people who thought it was the best BBQ pork they had ever had. In my opinion, none of it overcooked or dried out. I cooked it to 165, double foiled it, took it to 200, and it was just as moist and juicy as any bone-in. That being...
