    I love the bags from Vacum Sealers Unlimited!!! Pics included!!

    Just to let everyone know, I just posted a question to this companies Facebook page asking about a discount, and Lisa answered within 5 minutes.  I hadn't read this far, so I guess I should start reading the newest comments first, huh?  Thanks Lisa, I will be ordering from you in the future for...

    Two questions about pork butts...

    Thinking about buying a case of butts from Sam's Club. Saves around .50 cents per pound. Now for the questions, one related to the purchase, and one on prep. 1: Has anyone bought their butts in bulk, and then frozen them for later use? Any issues? Good to do, not good to do? 2: After just...

    Still having problems with the AMNPS....

    For my particular smoker, which would probably be the same for the earlier model 30" and 40"ers, all I had to do was put my AMNPS on the drip tray above where the water pan hole is, put an 8x8 disposable tray on the rack above it to keep drippings from getting on the pellets, pull out the chip...

    Still having problems with the AMNPS....

    I am happy to report that since Todd gave me further instruction on the use of the AMNPS, that I have had 4 successful smokes in a row where my pellets all burned as desired, and didn't once have to take out the AMNPS to relight it.  One time it smoked from 6:30pm until about 11:30 the following...

    First attempt at pork spare ribs....

    Thank you!!!  Yeah, I fell asleep during the 2nd step of the 3-2-1 process, and they became very close to mush.  A little more fall off the bone than we like, but still tasty.  On pizza sounds like a great idea, might have to give that a try.

    First attempt at pork spare ribs....

    After asking the idiotic question of the day, here are the photos of my first attempt at pork spare ribs.  Smoked in the 2012 MES 40 with Todd Johnsons AMNPS with apple pellets.  On the smoker now are two chickens, one with Jeff's rub and one with Sam's Clubs rotisserie chicken seasoning...

    Does smoke penetrate through foil...

    That sounds like a great idea.  We actually bought a couple of chickens at Sam's Club yesterday that we are planning on smoking after the ribs come out.  They have been brining in kosher salt since last night, and we are going to do one with Jeff's rub and one with the same seasoning that Sam's...

    Does smoke penetrate through foil...

    Hahaha.  True, true.  Here you go. This is just one of the racks after Jeffs rub was added.  Dang that stuff smells good.  Especially once it's in the smoker. :) And here are a couple of the racks after coming out of the refrigerator overnight and ready to go in the smoker.

    Does smoke penetrate through foil...

    Thanks everyone.  That's what I thought.  Seems I got just about the right amount of pellets then.  They are almost done smoking and the wife and I just finished foiling them.  Looking for fall of the bone tender when all is said and done.  Thanks again. :)
