    What am I doing wrong with brisket?

      We too have a Horizon smoker. One thing that helps even out the temps is to place a water pan on the far right side (the fire box side) of the cook chamber. The brisket is then placed around the center of the chamber, with the point facing the fire box, where it remains for the duration of the...

    Easy light charcoal/lighter fluid questions

     You'll be fine. Toss the Easy Light and go on down the road. After (during) one good smoke you won't even know the stuff was ever in your cooker. Fire burns, even when it is cold outside. It just requires more fuel for any given amount of BTUs. You don't need any Easy Light on the bottom of...

    Do you cook on foil, in disposible pans, or directly on grates?

    Cold weather smoking

    I'm doing the same thing up here in Oklahoma. Make sure you have a good, heavy pair of cotton gloves.

    As has been stated above, pellet cookers don't really excel at punching out tons of smoke flavor, which sometimes ain't a bad thing. We use a Yoder YS640 and have found that more smoke is desirable on many meats than this cooker produces when simply set to a higher cooking temp (265°F-320°F)...

    Yoder Smoker

    The right (exhaust) side of my unit tends to run hotter. This can be balanced by the adjustable damper, but I have found it necessary to slide it several inches farther in than the manual states. We did purchase the Grill Grates but have yet to use them, as any high temp grilling is just too...

    Yoder Smoker question

       I've known few individuals who were satisfied long term with a 16" smoker. 20" seems to be about the floor for most enthusiasts Having "just that bit more" headroom or depth can be a good advantage in cooking, whether one needs a bit of clearance for a turkey or needs to turn a couple slabs...

    BDSkelly ~ The Lodge Cast Iron Sportsmans Grill The Sumo of Hibachi!

    Brian, have you found the fry skillet for the Sportsman yet? I was unaware of them until mentioned in this thread and have been unable to source one.

    YS640 in cold weather

    I live in Oklahoma and have a YS640. With temps in the mid-teens the cooker can keep up well, but it does eat pellets a bit faster. Tossing a welding blanket over the whole shebang made a noticeable difference in fuel consumption but was kind of unhandy. This year I might just try that nifty...

    Yeti Resting

    I agree with gr0uch0, above.    Yeti is an excellent choice if one needs to pack a chest and then not open it until day nine in the outback, possibly after suffering some pretty rough treatment: the contents will be found to be in great, safe condition. The Yeti has a terrific ability to...

    Friendly Debate

    We have acres of hickory and oak, so we use those. Pecan is abundant enough places that is it no problem to source.  This "Oklahoma Group" thing seems to have never really taken off; pity. Of course, I've been here awhile and just now happened upon it.

    Hibachi?

    That is exactly what I was going to post. When I was a kid, my parents used to have avocado-green-equipment fondue parties at our house.....and everyone walked around on the dark green shag carpet, no less! I had to vacuum and then rake, RAKE, that darned carpet every Saturday morning. During...
