    How much do I need???

    Just stock up on "Runza's and Valentino's " just in case. Some ABT's and "Fatties for the little troops" couldn't hurt. How about some "Snicker Apples?" All the surprises help. Seems like there ought to be some smoked roasting ears in Cornhusker Country? Put some red food coloring under...

    Hangar Steak

    Is this the top muscle of the diaphragm? If this is the one, it is very tender and tasty. I have heard it called a "feather steak" here in rural areas. Please correct me if I've got the wrong cut. Happy Smoking from Sedalia, MO.

    I need some ideas/inspiration

    Yes, Combination Fatties?? Grind them up and mix different combinations for fatties and taste test for "Scientific Purposes Only?" We have a duty to the science of Smoking also to test our theories and go where no-one else has gone. Git-Er-Done?? Happy Smoke Rings from Sedalia, MO.

    Got the Silver Smoker Together w/ Mods...

    I'm pretty new also with the Silver Smoker. I have the same Mods you do. On my first brisket it started raining so I double foiled it after about 7 hrs and finished it in the oven with the temperature probe still in the brisket. Be sure to put it in deep pan in the oven in case the foil...

    First fatty - somewhat failed

    Been there and done that. On this site some call it a road-killed fattie? But they taste fine. Experience helps, I'm fairly new at this also and had several road-kills before moderate success. Now I do them 3 at a time and store them for later. I once put too many jalapenos in a fattie and...

    1st Brisket attempt

    As a former Marine (66-69) I always like to save time. I've only done 6 briskets so far and got lucky the first time. I almost got rained out on the first on; so I had to double foil it and finish it in the oven after 6 1/2 hrs of smoking. I can't imagine how it could have turned out better...

    My Brinkmann SnP UPGRADES!! What do you think?

    Great job. I have a Silver Smoker and other than almost the same stuff you did; I sealed the doors on mine better. I tried the Rutlands High Temp RTV silicone sealant; but must have got it too hot seasoning my smoker the next day. I turned to the red head gasket maker stuff from WalMart and...

    Dumb newbie question.

    I don't know; but you could try one for a bout 4 - 5 hours and then double foil it and finish in the oven pretty quick. I set the oven for 350 and use the remote thermometer to make sure the thickest part is at least 195 deg internal before resting it. You could always do it a day or up to a...

    Great looking briskets. I am pretty new at this and I've only done 6 briskets so far with 2 more on the plate for tomorrow. I generally smoke from early morning (0900) to about 6 pm or so. I have done longer. The very first brisket smoke was send home after about 6 1/2 hrs because of rain...

    Sausage Prep

    Best advice given yet on this site besides the remote thermometers and smoker Modifications; maybe better? I bought 2 scales; 0 to 6 lbs by .0001 and the other is 0 to 15 lbs by .001. I have a digital feed scale that goes to 400 lbs by .1 lbs. Great advice when doing seasonings and...

    St Louis Here

    Happy Smoke Rings from Sedalia, MO. Got to get those fatties smoking, too. I couldn't believe how just plain Jimmy Dean's sausage tastes smoked and then started stuffing them in the rolls like the threads say. Now you will learn to shop the bargins for smoking stuff. Briskets on sale...

    Advice/Info on Snack Sticks

    I don't care what seasoning you use. I will say if the sticks are really hot; they last longer; because the troops aren't scarfing them down. Kids and women tend to like sweeter and milder stuff. Especially applies to jerky mixes in my humble opinion. I like sharing; but I also like snack...

    dont know what to name it but its a fatty

    Great looking fattie; I am wondering about using hashbrown potatoes or tater tots already baked in an oven for the same kind of fattie. Did your potatoes get done enough for you?

    Newbie here: I need help for tomarrow! Silver Smoker

    I'm pretty new also; and bought a Silver Smoker to start off with. I took some aluminum foil and made a baffle that blocked the upper half of the opening between the firebox and the smoke chamber. I took some red head gasket maker stuff (from WalMart) and put a bead around where the doors...

    A little Brisket Rub help please

    I don't know about advice; but just pepper and garlic works for beef. I use a commerical rub that I get at the Traeger's dealer here in Sedalia, MO. It was so good the first time I decided not to change. I just put the mustard on and spread it then sprinkle the rub on both sides and wrap it...

    Char-griller Smokin' Pro grease catcher?

    I have two ways that I do catch the grease. The first is to use a large juice can. Take a wire coat hanger and drill 2 holes across from each other after removing the top with a can opener. I use the hook part adjusted with some pliers to fit up through the opening and hang the can...

    Another Accidental Score W/QVIEW

    I thought if you took in someone's add about food prices WalMart would match it. I find brisket on sale and take the ad into WalMart and buy it there. Should work everywhere.
