    Seasoning A New Smoker

    Welcome to the SMF Bernadette......glad to have you on board. Most smokers only need about 2.5-3 hours to season. Just coat the inside good with oil (a spay is the easiest) and get the heat up. Remember to have fun....it's not rocket science. Steve

    soaking wood

    I use chunks in my Chargriller and I don't see a need in soaking them. I rarely have them flame up on me and they will smolder for a along time. Steve

    Should i smoke two weekends in a row

    I agree with TMW....mix it up a little. I use my Chargriller for grilling more than smoking. It grills GREAT!! Gotta love those cast iron grates. Steve

    What is everyone smoking this weekend?

    I've got a 8lb shoulder rubbed and waiting in the 'fridge. I'll get it started in the morning along with a fatty or two. I might do ABT's too if the wife will go to the store, I've got the next to days off and I'm not leaving this house! Steve

    My 08 garden

    Thanks....I've got 2 bells, 4 jamaican hot chocolates, a few serrano's, japs, cherry bombs and a few sweet banana's. All were started from seed in a friends greenhouse....that means they were all free. Steve

    My 08 garden

    Here's a look at my garden so far, I think I'm finally run out of room for anything else. I've got 6 small raised beds and right now they are full. I've planted 12 tomato's, 16 pepper plants, 2 big yellow squash, 2 tomatillo's, a few bush beans and a few eggplant. I started the onions in the...

    First Time Ribs

    Listen to Dude....as he is very wise. I think most people here do the 3-2-1 method or a modified version of it. It works great for me on my Chargriller. If I sauce then I do it the last 30 minutes or so. Steve

    Hello from Georgia!

    Welcome to the SMF! Fatties are one of my fave things to smoke and I usually bring them to 160-165 also. Once you do one you will be addicted, there are so many different combinations of "fillings" you can stuff 'em with. Steve

    Trying something different

    Well the butt turned out very good.....finally got it to 200* after 14 1/2 hours. I kept the CG between 240-220 most of the smoke. I wonder if using the pan made it take a little longer than usual....although it was a pretty large (11.5lbs) boneless butt. Overall I'm happy with using the pan, it...

    Corned Beef Brisket (Pastrami) and Goose Breasts

    Looking good MJ....I've been very tempted to try a corned brisket for pastrami. Can't wait to see how yours turns out. Thanks for the Q-view. Steve

    Trying something different

    The fatty turned out very good, except most of my cheese ran out of it. I guess I didn't get her sealed up good enough. The butt is at 188. I'm thinking I'll pour off the juices when I take it off the smoker so it doesn't sit in them while it rests. It looks like I have at least two cups worth...

    Trying something different

    12 hours in and the butt is at 178... that thing had one hell of a plateau. Shouldn't be too much longer now. The fatty is off the smoker and resting. The wife had to run into work for an hour or so, so we're having a late breakfast. She'd better hurry up, that fatty is smelling GOOD. Steve

    Trying something different

    Got the fatty on and the butt is looking good. It's 9 hours in and sitting at 162. The fatty is just stuffed with cheese. I'll slice it up and fix some eggs and grits to go with it. Steve

    Trying something different

    I finally was able to fire up the smoker at about 10pm, was waiting for the weather here to get more favorable for smoking. I'm doing an 11lb butt and I'm doing it in a pan for the first time. I've seen others doing it and thought I would experiment. I used a commercial rub (lots) and put it in...
