    BABY BACKS

    I use the 2-2-1 method, and always have the best result when I keep the meat-side up.  I add my secret juice to them before I foil, and give them a light wipe of my bbq sauce during the last hour.  Time is a great guide, but you also can tell how they're doing by how much bone is exposed on the...

    Smooth-Top Stove Parts- Electric Smoker? Gimme Your Ideas!!

    It's just a regular smooth-top electric stove.  I removed what was left of the top, and kept all the electrical bits.  Thought of just building a stainless griddle with this, also.  Just need to find an efficient, safe configuration.

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    I've thought of making one of these as well.  I have the parts for a smoothtop stove (without the top, because it got smashed in shipping).  I got refunded my money, and was told just to dispose of the remaining parts, but I kept them (naturally).  I was also thinking of using them for an...

    anyone here build a flat top griddle?

    Something else to consider is that most commercial hibachi grills keep the heat primarily in the center of the surface.  This serves two purposes.  First, the centralized heat creates a downward bow in the stainless (this goes away when it cools back down), which keeps the liquids in the center...

    Smooth-Top Stove Parts- Electric Smoker? Gimme Your Ideas!!

    So, I purchased a smoothtop stove a while back that I received damaged (the glass top was shattered on delivery) and I was told by the seller to throw out the remaining parts and they'd refund my money.  So, I cleaned it up and kept all the parts. :) Well, my wife figured I would throw it out...

    how much paint did you use for the Drum?

    I made a 1.66 tall drum smoker, and only needed 2 cans.  I used bbq paint from wally world.

    Pork Butt on UDS at 225 for 17 hours and still reading internal temp of 175!

    What type of thermometer are you using on your drum?  How are you positioning your probe therms?   I have never had an 8-pound butt take longer than 10 hours, personally.  I do pulled pork at 235, and it is usually falling apart by then.  I'm thinking there is a discrepancy with your therms...

    My meat is huge!

    You do realize that this completely justifies the need for a newer, bigger, better smoker, right?

    Flavor of wood chips to use?

    We have a lot of white oak around here.  It's ok, but nothing like a good red.  I use some cherry chips for steaks, and have great results there.  I haven't tried Pecan, simply because it's hard to find.

    Ribs

    SmokinAl is right; this is probably the best way, especially long-term.  I can hardly sleep at night knowing there are ribs waiting for me in the freezer, though.

    Flavor of wood chips to use?

    I use hickory chunks, and small split apple logs.  Probably 10x more apple than hickory, but they're great in any combination. -Hex

    I don't know what to cook this weekend.

    I'm making spares for the family (and extended family) also.  I don't mind making them; as I love them, but it's also a great opportunity to try something you haven't made before, or thought might be good but haven't seen yet.  I like to do an experiment along with the regular meal, that way, I...

    Ribs

    I freeze my ribs and pulled pork all the time.  I wrap the ribs in heavy foil and they keep really well.  I put them in the fridge a couple days before I plan to eat them, then heat them up in the oven at 400 degrees to heat them up.  I don't unfoil them until they're hot, so they don't burn or...
