    Input Needed. Cured Turkey and a 22" WSM.

    My dad has requested a smoked turkey this year. He fondly remembers a supply company giving his company a smoked bird every year that he says "tasted like ham". This leads me to believe it's a cured smoked bird. I've got a plan to do a 5 day eq brine with the cure and inject the turkey @ 10%...

    GRILL/SMOKER HACK??

    Temp & Smoke are only 2 parts of the overall equation. There's something to be said about the fuel that's being burned and the results of your smoked foods. I personally prefer the taste and smoke that a charcoal smoker provides after using a pellet burner for years. There's also propane fueled...

    Charcoal smoking in winter.

    I found the remnants of a clearance pallet of Royal Oak briquettes at Walmart for $4.44/18lb bag, on a lark when I was out of town one day. None of the 3 local Walmarts ever cleared out, so they have a little stock hiding behind the Christmas stuff.

    FAIL: 17-pound brisket - what did I do wrong?

    I smoked on a 2013 version of the GMG Daniel Boone for years. I discovered my temp controller was off by a good 30 degrees after I bought an independent thermometer and pit probe. There's also some adjustments you can do with the heat shield that sits above your burn box. Have you ever tried the...

    Charcoal Smoker Controller

    I waffled around on the big 3 before I settled on the Signals/billows. This weekend was my first cook on it with 3 spare ribs at 225 in my 22.5 wsm and I was really impressed. It held +/-5 degrees for the first 3 hours running a snake stack on briquettes. Only after I started opening the lid to...

    Zero Charcoal Experience - First Pork Butt and Brisket

    I thought it did pretty well too, though I probably had some increased fuel consumption due to the wind that day. All I could find around here was the Oak version, but I was pleased with it and will definitely be using it again.

    Zero Charcoal Experience - First Pork Butt and Brisket

    When I set up the WSM my girlfriend made the mistake of thinking there'd be more deck space because she thought the pellet grill was going away. 😅 I'm sure there will be more equipment coming so I can have options.

    Zero Charcoal Experience - First Pork Butt and Brisket

    I've been smoking on a hand me down GMG Daniel Boone for about 3 years now. Even though the results were good, I've always felt like the food I was putting out could be better. All summer I've been researching, making notes, comparing prices, and trying to decide between a stick burner or a 40"...

    Jerky Recipes

    Right? :emoji_sweat_smile: I'm in MT and went "What the heck is a mountain deer and valley deer??" Antelope are pretty gamey for a lot of people, for the most part we ate the loin and everything else went to jerky and snack sticks. Some magic can be worked with raspberry/blackberry sauces for...

    where do you buy your wood pellets?

    Our local RV place is a Green Mountain Grill dealer and they always have great deals on pellets - $10 for a 25lb bag. It's an odd ball place to check but you can find a dealer locator on the website. Walmart also has pitboss pellets for $15/40lb bag. They aren't super flavorful but I use an...
