    Smoked Spare Ribs Experiment

    Still in the wrap for at least another 30. Just 'doctored' up my BBQ glaze that will be going on them for the final hour. Started off by reducing some rye whiskey that has been in my cabinet for a good long while now. Once it was reduced enough, I added some of my wife's favorite hot sauce...

    Smoked Spare Ribs Experiment

    Indeed, going to be interesting to say the least LOL. Laid out the paper and put down a generous portion of fat, then put the ribs meat side down on the paper/fat and drizzled some more fat on the bone side. Wrapped them up and put them in meat side down this time for the next couple of...

    Smoked Spare Ribs Experiment

    Thanks for the tips - TbH when I do my bacon, I throw it in the oven on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This allows the bacon to 'fry in its own fat' as its being cooked by the oven. It also makes clean up a breeze. As much as I *should* save my bacon grease I have a confession to...

    Smoked Spare Ribs Experiment

    Today I am doing a couple of racks of pork spare ribs. Normally when I do these I use the 3-2-1 (or maybe even the 2-2-1) method for cooking them. They were both hit with some Cosmos dirty bird and cow cover (because I was lazy and it was what I had on hand) Now, here comes the...

    SV - Pork Belly: How to?

    LOL Because experimentation. Its a different way of cooking it that yields different consistency and mouthfeel. At the end of the day its still a pork belly and its still GOOOOOOD. And its fun to play with different methods of cooking things. :)

    SV - Pork Belly: How to?

    Try one of these methods - or even MORE on his channel! Here is a link to search for all things 'belly' on his channel. This should give you some inspiration! Good luck! https://www.youtube.com/c/SousVideEverything/search?query=belly

    Look for 'LavaLock' it is a popular option for these smokers.

    One thing to take into consideration when opening the hopper to add more charcoal (mid cook) is to INSERT THE SLIDES first. This way you are cutting off some of the draft that will be further introduced when opening the hopper.

    Meatloaf. It's what's for breakfast.

    You know - I really don't like this place when I am hungry. Licking my screen just isn't the same. :emoji_laughing:

    Rip a a nice sheet of aluminum foil, fold it in half and use it as a barrier between the hopper and lid. Not only will it cut the creosote buildup on the lid, it also seals nicely. No need for an external mod.

    I would say either way you can't really go wrong. Both of them will give you charcoal fired food with flavor that rivals a stick burner, with the ease and convenience of a pellet pooper. But because this is a Masterbuilt Gravity thread, and you posted here, you are now obligated to go the...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Just did a pork butt yesterday and the wife said this was by far the best one I have ever done. <3 This thing! Well, not being able to control myself (and needing a little extra space) I went ahead and bought a custom made shelving unit for my 560 from www.michaelswooddesigns.com and I can't...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Ive had my 560 for close to a month now and I love this thing. As far as Im concerned - the only mods that enhance the smoker/grill are - The manifold shield. It makes cleaning it that much easier and helps reduce flare ups. The upgraded grate (on earlier models) although you can do a quick...

    Oh, and I did a thing today. I took one of my MES30 grates and measured it so that I could cut off the excess. Behold - my ash catcher wood chunk holder. Now my chunks can be elevated from the rest of the ash and help them last a bit longer during a smoke :)

    Keep in mind, there are 2 different types of mods. Klotes and another set by a guy named Luke. (LSS Mods) Both accomplish the same things, but go about it a little differently. I would suggest comparing the two of them and deciding which one you want to undertake. https://klotesmods.com/...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Feed

    Tonight was a couple of "Pork Roast for Carnitas" things that the wife had picked up. Honestly if it were me, I would have gone with something less ambiguous LOL. A little 'spicy' due to the prepackaged seasoning, but all in all pretty darned good! My wife commented on the fact that the...

    I am running my very first smoke on my 560 sans break in. I was introduced to this smoker via a well placed FB ad (Im guessing they saw me looking at new grills) and I *knew* I had to pull the trigger on this. Even the wife was excited and encouraged me to go and get one of these bad boys...

    German Bourbon Cinnamon Roasted Nuts

    Take a look at this recipe as well. These pecans are so incredibly flavorful and complex - Adding bourbon might just be a kick they need! http://www.lifesatomato.com/2020/09/20/smoked-pecans/
