    Help with Venison Leg

    Thanks maybe next time. I went with BBQ rub and it was good. Because it was done early I also turn half in to burnt ends

    Help with Venison Leg

    So I took out what I thought was 3lbs of venison sausage to add on to a smoke tomorrow. It turns out it was a 3 lbs hunk of back leg. I am still planning to add it on to my smoke. But how should I prep it? Should I coat it in Olive oil and herbs, BBQ rub or something else? Any other advis...

    Suggestions for new smoker as a gift - supplies etc?

    I know everyone will say pork butt or chicken so I will provide a different option. I just started smoking and picked a chuck steak and pork loin for my fist smoke. I know pork butt is hard to mess up but that is a long smoke for some who has only had his smoker going for a 2 hour seasoning...

    (newbie) Trying to figure out this whole charcoal thing

    My first attempt at the minion method went about the same. I think I started with too much lit charcoal and should have shut the vents sooner. Clearly it takes some delicious testing.

    First Smoke Chuck Roast

    My first Smoke   I have been itching to use this Masterbuilt Charcoal Smoker, since I got it a few weeks ago and Saturday I got the chance. For anyone with a similar smoker I have switched the charcoal pan to a wok topper and have swapped the thermometer.  I like brisket but want to work my...

    New in Chapel Hill, NC

    After lurking here for many months to research I finally bought my first smoker this weekend. I found an open box Masterbuild Vertical Charcaol Smoker for a price too good to pass up. I have purchased a wok to use as a charcoal pan, a thermometer to replace the stock one and will seal the doors...
