    WSM help with ribs...

    I've gone through many rib racks, including the Weber, and the never seem to hold up for more than a season or two. Finally found a true 'heavy-duty' rack last year from Tejas Smokers. These babies are tough. They only hold 4 racks of ribs but they keep the ribs separate, allowing unrestricted...

    3-2-1 method

    Let your smoker stabilize at 225 degrees F. Add your ribs to the smoker and let her go for 3 hours. Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminium foil, put 'em back in the smoker, and let 'em go for 2 hour.

    Lang 84

    Lots o' good points here... and the Lang is a very good trailer pit. But I must be missing something? You are looking at a Lang 84" and the seller wants $6K. If it's the deluxe model (w/ side-mount warmer) then the list price for a new unit from Lang is $5,195. I would expect at least a 30%...

    How I start and use my WSM....

    The "Toxic Stuff" in Play Sand is actually not an issue. It's an over-reaction. The supposed toxic material is Crystalline Silica (silicone dioxide - SiO2), commonly know as Silica. Silica is most commonly found in nature as  quartz  or sand (both natural sand and play sand), as well as in the...

    How I start and use my WSM....

    When re-heating any product sealed in vacuum bags in hot water (best practice) be sure to keep the water temperature between 175 & 190 degrees F. If you allow the water to boil then the consistency of you product will change... it will tend to get tough & may dry out.

    Need some smoking tips for brisket and other meats

    That's a mighty small piece of brisket. Try a larger one, preferably over 8 pounds (same with a butt), and hold the smoker temp down around 125˚F. I'd start off by reading Jeff's article "All Night Brisket" at: http://www.smoking-meat.com/brisket-smoke.html Any time that you allow the internal...
