    Ham / Pork Butt - Q-View (1st Ham) - Pic Heavy

    I dunno, I think it would be even better if you had that egg covered, smoked goodness piled on top of a piece of buttered toast (or even better a buttered biscuit)!

    Got a new AMNPS. Where should I put it in a GOSM BB?

    I've been looking forward to using my AMNPS.  I will be smoking a rack of spares in my GOSM Big Block today at about 225 degrees. Does anybody have any recommendations for the best location inside the smoker for the AMNPS?

    Where to buy bulk Spices?

    I buy them from Penzey's.  We have a brick and mortar store about 45 minutes from us, but their online ordering works well, too.

    5 BBR smoke with Q-View with need of input.

    First brisket on tonight w/Q-view

    I can't say "does not produce a smoke ring", but I have read several comments that electrics had much less of a some ring than other types.  Certainly the original brisket picture in this thread didn't have one. By the way, there is a Wiki for acronyms like "MES"; here's the link...

    First brisket on tonight w/Q-view

    I'm pretty sure I can answer that one, Max-Paul.  At the very top of this thread, you'll note that Voldaddy said he was using an MES (Masterbuilt Electric Smoker).  As I understand it, electric smokers don't produce anywhere near the pronounced smoke ring you describe.  Wood burners and charcoal...

    Floorboard scrap in Cowboy lump Charcoal

    I don't have an issue with the fact that they make charcoal out of various scrap pieces of worked wood like what was shown. As a matter of fact, I think that's actually pretty commendable (so long as they don't use finished, or treated, wood).  The problem I have with cowboy charcoal is that...
