    Help and hello

    In Michigan during the winter I cover my cooking tube with a welder’s blanket and a moving blanket. In my case though I think my insulated fire box helps. Might help until you get your wind block’s built. You also might try turning the smoker so the firebox is away from the wind.

    Pork Steaks

    My wife is a St Louis gal so when I asked her what she wanted for Memorial Day she said pork steaks. Who was I to say no. 😁 Started off with a good coating of kosher salt and then back in the fridge for about a four o hour nap. Brought them out, gave them a quick rinse, dry them off with a paper...

    Tri-Tip help

    If your cooking it rare or mid rare ( that’s how I like it) be sure to note the grain as it will go in different directions.

    Hey newbie here (both to the forum and grilling).

    Welcome. You can learn a lot from the good folks here. There are a ton of different options for smokers today, from very cheap to incredibly expensive. Each has their place. If you ask me, I’d probably say start with a pellet smoker for it’s ease in fire management so you can focus on rubs...

    Pork butt and chicken

    I’d do it all at once if you have the room also. I would want to get it all smoked and pulled the day before. Put it in aluminum trays and refrigerate overnight. Warm them up slightly the next day and start building your nachos.

    muddled though my first brisket smoke

    My first offset was an char broiler. Very cheap and thin metal. I was determined to burn just wood in it. The only way I could keep it running around 250 degrees was to cut my wood pieces about 6” long and maybe the size of a ”C” cell battery. I couldn’t walk away from it for more than 5 or 10...

    Advice on new toy for new deck needed

    For me, I used to get a face cord and that would last me at least a year. Now we put in a wood stove so I we’re buying more like 10 face cords. For the smoker I store the wood in a wood rick covered with a tarp. My garage too limited to store wood. The wood really isn’t much effort.
