    QUESTIONS ob boneless rib roast/ribeye/prime rib...

    135 is when I pull mine. It will be on the rare side. 145 will give you more on med rare. As I usually plan on devouring this when it is ready,, I only tent mine on a platter with foil. I wait about 30 mins while everything else is being finished and put on the table. I absolutely love doing...

    Jalapenos

    I have heard but never done is to let the japs sit in a jar of vinegar and/or parboiling them a bit in vinegar and water solution tol mellow them out yet. Smoking or grilling does decrease the heat somewhat but not substantially. For guests that I know are heat intolerant I use large hot...

    Temp Variations on GOSM type smoker

    This is probably not the right answer to the problem, but it is a possibility. Turn off the tank, disconnect from the tank, turn on the smoker to high. Let it sit for about 6-10 mins. Turn off smoker, reconnect the tank, open valve tank and then light your smoker, watch for an even blue flame...

    Where has Billbo been?

    Pav is a trojan. Suggest a cleaning utility instead of registry manipulations. Reformat is not necessary except in extreme cases. I have removed this and other infections with this as warranted. It gives a message that the users computer is infected and hi-jacks the browser. Again, it is not...

    Can I Grill on my WSM

    Since none of the owners of that rig, will attempt to give you an answer. I have a bullet smoker similar to the WSM but I dont know if mine is the same size as yours or not. On a few occasions I have made an improvised grill out of mine by putting putting coals in my water pan on the mid...

    Cooking a turkey..started thinking about T-Day

    I feel you would be fine as long as you protect it from getting submerged in the melted water. Seal it up tight and surround it in ice. You might want to find a styrofoam chest, (pretty cheap at wal-mart) as they hold ice far longer than the plastic/vinly lined ones do. Personally, I would 1/4...

    Cooking a turkey..started thinking about T-Day

    Holding poultry that long unrefrigerated is way toooooo long, the risks are enormous. I have cooked several days ahead, refrigerated and then reheated. Smoked turkey and chicken both do well frozen and then reheated, flavor loss is minimal if reheated slowly wrapped in heavy foil at 185-200...

    Cleaning your smoker?

    Should have mentioned this as well in my original post. Strongly suggest removing ahes from your smoker ASAP because moisture and ashes will combine to quickly cause rusting, no matter how well seasoned your smoker is. Again Hd foil to collect ash is quick and easy and I do air hose any...

    Cleaning your smoker?

    I use preventive cleaning in all my units by lining the base with HD foil. Depending on usage I replace as warranted. On my offset its after each smoke because I get alot of spill-over from my drip pan. On my gas vertical, my pans catch most of the drippings and probably replace once a month. I...

    Looking for info on smoker

    I have used a 12 '' iron fry pan and a small metal baking loaf pan for mine. The small standard fire pan shipped with this unit is only good for chips, and burn up too fast. I use chunks in mine and get close to 2 hrs great smoke. I do not soak my chunks because I hate the smell of wet...
