    Should I freeze my meatloaf before putting it on the smoker?

    https://natashaskitchen.com/meatloaf-recipe/ This is the recipe in question. I'm hoping to be able to put it directly on the grates but I'm worried about it falling through. Should I let it sit in the freezer for a few hours before putting it to smoke?

    Spareribs smoke at 225 but drumsticks smoke at 300. What's the best way to approach this?

    I'm hoping to make some spareribs and drumsticks next weekend, but the ribs cook at 225 for 5 hours and the drumsticks cook at 300 for a half on each side, obviously both internal temperature dependent. What's the best way for me to approach this cook? I was thinking cook the ribs for 4 hours...

    Finally finished my bags of Kingsford briquettes, so I figured now is the time to try out a new fuel source, but had a few questions..

    I've got a gravity smoker. I'm not sure if that matters, but figured I'd mention it just in case. Also, this is mainly used as a smoker, but I also grill with it. I've been using the Kingsford briquettes since I got it and finally ran out, and was looking into trying out some other brands. I...

    Where can I buy wood chunks for a decent price?

    Forgot to mention that I'm in NJ. I'll have to check out the big box stores, thanks! What's considered a good price for wood? It's confusing to me since it's not usually sold by weight

    Where can I buy wood chunks for a decent price?

    Just got my very first charcoal smoker, so I'm excited to try it out and want to be sure I have everything on hand. Where can I find wood chunks for a good price? I see a bunch on eBay, but not sure how well they're priced or how sketchy buying wood from eBay is, lol. Any help you guys can...

    Torn between a pellet smoker and a gravity smoker. What do you guys think?

    Debating between a Traeger Pro Series and a Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050. The gravity smoker seems like the obvious better choice, but it seems like the quality isn't as good? Not really sure of any other pros and cons when comparing them to one another. Can anyone, with some knowledge of...

    Can anyone provide some tips and tricks for keeping the A-MAZE-N pellet tray lit in my electric smoker?

    I finally got around to doing the mailbox mod, and so far so good, with two minor issues that I need to figure out. First, I noticed that my pellets lit up again in the middle of smoking and ended up burning out quicker than they should have. It was also windy that day, so I assume that's why...

    Can anyone provide some tips and tricks for keeping the A-MAZE-N pellet tray lit in my electric smoker?

    What kind of mailbox should I be looking at? My main concern is any coatings on the inside of the mailbox that I would not want burning and being absorbed into my food.

    Can anyone provide some tips and tricks for keeping the A-MAZE-N pellet tray lit in my electric smoker?

    I can't get the pellets to stay lit consistently. I think I've had one smoke where it stayed lit the entire time, which was a short cook (about 3 hours), but other than that I've had the pellets die out after about an hour or so. Yesterday, I had a bit of a different issue. I did only one row...

    I'm in NJ. Not sure what my elevation is, but could safely assume it's not very high.
