    Funky smelling Spares

    I had the exact same thing 3 weeks ago and ended up tossing the ribs out. The smell was so bad that the kids thought that the dog had gas! I smoked some pulled pork last night and it had the same smell when it came out of the plastic. Not near as intense as the ribs though. It was good!

    Solving the "crispy skin" issue.

    Go to a garage sale, or eBay or wherever and buy yourself a Ronco Showtime Rotisserie. Smoke the bird as usual, and then slap it on the spit and spin it until the skin is the desired crispiness!

    Last minute menue change........HELP !!!!

    I would anticipate that the ribs will be closer to 4 to 5 hours. 6 hours is quite a bit of time unless you are dealing with exceptionally meaty ribs.

    Chapman is the definition of devestation. Very similar to Greensburg last year. Unbelievable destruction.

    Mustard?

    I didn't have a problem with it burning. I am using a cheapo Brinkmann electric, so it struggles to reach 240. Burning isn't an issue with it. If you are using lump or sticks then you might think about foiling earlier if you see the bark getting too barky. Once it goes in foil though, expect...

    Newby from Kansas

    What part of KS are you in? Hope you are staying dry and out of the basement! And thanks for your service to your fellow man as an EMT. That is an intense job that is not for the faint of heart!

    Mustard?

    I'm with Dutch, mustard and horseradish on butts is really good. The mustard cooks off but the horsey sticks around and gives the bark a little more twang. Nothing too intense, but more noticable than mustard.

    Check in Kansas residents!

    I know we have members from Manhattan, which was hit with a tornado yesterday. Today there were reported tornados from Emporia clear up towards Kansas City. My family and I had some quality time in the basement today as a funnel cloud breezed on by us. And to all our smoking brothers and...

    Coca Cola? (or Pepsi?)

    I put Coke in the water pan when smoking poultry. Adds a nice flavor to the skin. My beverage of choice though is Code Red Mountain Dew. I swear that they must mix heroin into that stuff!

    How many BBQs

    My wife graduated nursing school in late May. I held a large BBQ for her graduation with 30 pounds of pulled pork, 4 slabs of spares, 1 brisket, and 2 chickens. I also made Dutches beans, my Corn Dish Bliss and 2 potato salads. I fed somewhere around 75 people. I am waiting on a friend who...

    I say use it! Anything that keeps less of those damn seeds from clogging up my gutters and air conditioner is fine by me!

    You Folks HAVE To See This Smoker W/PICS

    Good idea. Imagine you're smoking over some weekend and suddenly the Russians attack! Dump the wood and head for the ocean! It looks sea worthy!

    Near disaster for my ECB with pix!

    That tree didn't have the intestinal fortitude to knock over as fine of an instrument as an ECB!
