    Today's Smoke

    The brisket came out very tender, it was a little too salty for me, but others, especially the women, loved it. The ribs came out great and may be the best I have made yet. The pulled pork came off a little late for dinner, but it was great as usual. SoFlaQuer's finishing sauce is all any...

    Long weekend here - What'cha Smokin'??

    Butts Ribs Brisket Fatty's ABT's Beer Can Chicken and probably a few hotdogs for the kids I will be smoking on Sunday or Monday depending on the weather. If it is warm enough to take the boat out on Sunday that is our activity of choice, if it is cold it will be football and smoking. Jamie

    Stepping up to a brisket

    I am going to smoke my first brisket this weekend, along with a variety of other stuff as I usually do (actually it will be Monday before I get to smoke). I have a few questions. 1. Should I marinate the brisket, if so suggestions please? 2. I use Jeff's rub on my ribs, can I use it on...

    I don't get it either. I know you need to cut against the grain, but how do the toothpicks help? Jamie

    Baby-back experiement, 2 smokers, 3 methods

    Got lazy on the pics, but there wasn't a huge difference in the way the ribs looked. The ones that never went in the apple juice had a better bark than the others, as one would expect. Here are the taste test results as reported unamimously by our three judges. Water Smoker All the ribs were...

    Baby-back experiement, 2 smokers, 3 methods

    Jim, I agree that moisture in the air does not mean moist food. My whole post above was meant to counter this statement "When air is heated the moisture in the air is concentrated so the moisture is in there with or without the water pan." This statement seems to defy the laws of physiscs...

    Baby-back experiement, 2 smokers, 3 methods

    Roger, I am not sure I agree with this statement, so help me understand. Since matter cannot be created or destroyed, only converted to different forms, it seems like the air in the smoker will be dryer than the ambient/outside air unless you put a water pan in the smoker. The only source of...

    Baby-back experiement, 2 smokers, 3 methods

    Thanks Jim, of course what you are saying is exactly true. I guess my post is a little confusing since I mentioned the 3-2-1 method, the 2-2-1 method and some variation of the 3-2-1 method. What you have stated above is the concept that I will be using and what I meant by a variation of the...

    Best charcoal smoker for the money

    How long did you maintain that temp? Is it important to get your temps that high? What does this process do to the smoker? Maybe I should do a search instead of asking these questions here. I will do a search this AM and see what I can find and then post any remaining ?'s after that...

    Baby-back experiement, 2 smokers, 3 methods

    Thanks Roger, I remember reading that thread a short while back. I am simply carrying pretty much the same experiement a couple of steps farther using two grills and three methods of cooking. I wholeheartedly believe that the 3-2-1 method (or some variation of it) will come out as the best...

    Best charcoal smoker for the money

    I am getting a B-b-chef this weekend. A friend of mine is going to Atlanta and is going to pick one up for me while she is there. Now I just have to figure out how to season it. I used my first smoker before I knew that you were supposed to season them before you use them, so it never...

    OK, here goes. Last week I cooked some ribs for my neighbor and I was unhappy with how they turned out. My neighbor bought them and I forget exactly what they were called, but I want to say it was loin ribs or something like that. I cooked them on a friends offset smoker that I had never used...
