    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    What's the best way to go low and slow in these drums? Water pans?

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    Here we go. Not bad. Not great (first time). Took two hours...I think the drum got well over 300 at a couple points. Also, crappy pre rubbed kroger ribs. Will try low and slow next time. I tried to take them off when they were 205 degrees but the ribs were all over the place in different spots...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    Is there a specific placement I should use for the wood chunks in the charcoal basket? On top? Buried? Inside to outside?

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    Ok..here goes. First time ever doing hot and fast ribs..feels weird! Running the can around 290 with no diffuser so the drippings drop on the coals.

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    So...not sure if anyone has one of these, but, for hot and fast, I've heard the meat dripping onto the coals is a big part of the cooking process. 1. Do I need to hang the meat for this to happen or are using the grates ok? 2. Will using the Gateway diffuser plate prevent this? Should I not...

    Seasoning Gateway Drum smoker

    Just bought one, says to spray cooking spray on the inside and then burn for 2-3 hours. What am I spraying? The barrel? The grates? Fire basket? Lid? Everything?

    How many racks of ribs could you fit on the patio jr? I can't decide between this or the Open Range.

    PERFECT RIBS EVERY TIME! This really works!

    I will be trying this this weekend. Question though - what about the racks that have a thicker side? Technically, the left side of the rack would probably be a different internal temp than the thinner side.

    No foil ribs on the Rec Tec mini...never going back!

    I actually did some more this past weekend and they weren't as tender. Pretty frustrating! The only things I can think of: I rubbed the ones pictured above about 15 minutes before putting on the smoker. I rubbed my latest ones two days beforehand. I think the salt in the rub may have pulled...

    How to smoke a 3.5lb pork butt leg rump

    Doing another pork shoulder this weekend. Do I need to wrap it in foil and towels, etc. if I pull it off the smoker at 205 internal? Or just let it set on the counter for a bit then pull it?
