    Any good meat sales?

    I'm still learning what the real good deals are. I know Price Chopper here in Kansas City has baby backs on sale for 1.99/lb right now. Is that a decent price?

    Tips on Chuck Roast

    I might have overlooked it but all I could find were his sous vide threads. Looks like I have good info here already but if it's not too much trouble I would definitely take a look at that link.

    Tips on Chuck Roast

    Since the Chiefs got knocked out of Super Bowl contention everyone I know locally is just kinda "meh" about the game now. No big parties going on so probably just going to be my wife and I staying home. I've got some chuck roast in the freezer from a side of beef we bought a while back and I'm...

    Family gathering for my son’s 16th birthday.

    Hickory vs Oak

    With a few smokes under my belt now I'm coming up with more questions. My first few smokes went really well using oak. I smoked some pork spare ribs a couple days ago and used hickory and noticed a tremendous difference in my experience. I feel like I was able to maintain more consistent...

    A loaf of meat

    Thanks everyone for the tips! This is why I love this forum so much! I've heard people say that once you smoke a meatloaf it's hard to go back to an oven baked one. I now know that to be true! That smoke flavor can't be beat!

    A loaf of meat

    I did sauce at the end but maybe I didn't go hot enough. Thanks for the tip!

    A loaf of meat

    Was in the low 40's today and sunny. Couldn't help but get out and smoke something today! Didn't have a lot of time so went for a bacon wrapped meatloaf. The family loved it! My only complaint is that the bacon didn't crisp up at all. I cooked at around 250 most of the cook but cranked it up to...

    Temperature Parameters?

    No worries and no offense taken! I didn't take it that way at all!

    Temperature Parameters?

    I want to clarify that I'm not setting my alerts so I can forget about my smoker. I run a stick burner and a Chargriller at that. Lol That's not happening. It's really just so I can get some other stuff done around the house and not have to go out outside constantly to check temps. I can clip...

    Temperature Parameters?

    I wouldn't say it spikes... But when I put a new split on I usually overshoot my target temp a little then it settles back down. I'm still learning my pit. I guess for me it's just a broader safety net than maybe most would do. I'm pretty confident in keeping my temps within 10 degrees of where...

    Temperature Parameters?

    What do you guys like to set your alert parameters to on your wireless units? I'm cooking at 250° today and have mine set to alert at 300° on the top end and 225° on the low end. Just wondering what you all look for when it comes to temps.

    Dusted off the stick burner for a run today

    Looks great! Hard to beat the flavor from a stick burner.

    "The Big Storm"

    Sounds like most of us missed it. Got downgraded in KC from 5-8 inches to 2-4. Ended up with a dusting. Food looks great!

    What do you pay for wood?

    I have an offset. I typically use splits but for some reason the BBQ store I buy wood from did not have splits listed on their website, only chunks so I used that as an example to get feedback on prices. I couldn't remember what I paid there for the splits.

    What do you pay for wood?

    I've thought about giving Woodyard a call. I've currently been getting wood from KC BBQ store in Olathe. I've got an email out to Carrol at CnC for pricing. Thanks for the info!

    What do you pay for wood?

    I may give this a shot at some point. But for me part of the fun is playing with the fire and adding the right size splits at the right time and just the overall work that goes into fire management. But eventually my wallet may sway me another direction. :-)

    What do you pay for wood?

    I'll check it out. Thanks! I usually use a bag of splits. It's about a 50 lb bag and runs about $40. Can't recall the cu ft. Not sure if what I've been buying is kiln dried or not but I've been pleased with the flavors it has provided.

    What do you pay for wood?

    I typically start my cooks with a good bed of lump then add a split as needed for smoke and as it burns down it acts as my coal bed for the next split.This sounds much more cost effective. I usually buy a big bag of splits from the BBQ store but on their website they don't have that listed so I...
