    Marinading multiple briskets

    Dave sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. :D Now I wonder if someone could use an injector and just pierce the bag & duct tape the small hole if they didn't have a sealer?

    Brinkmann vertical charcoal smoker to gas conversion

    You did such a good job on that, that it doesn't even look like a mod. :D Good to see that the hose is completely outside so there's no chance of it melting and causing problems. Chicken looks fantastic! 8)

    New Smoker

    I've smoke lots of butts and have never used foil. Until last weekend that is .... I cooked two butts of the same size side-by-side on the same rack. At 170* I wrapped one of them if foil and left the other unwrapped. Didn't baste either one the entire cook. They both cooked for 24 hours at...

    turkey meatloaf

    I've smoked whole turkeys, turkey breasts, and turkey legs and smoked turkey is wonderful. I've smoked beef meatloaf and is it much better than oven baked. :D Therefore, I must come to the conclusion that turkey meatloaf would probably be good but I haven't cooked one.

    smoking a wild turkey

    I always hear others talking about drinking theirs. Wild birds tend to have more dark meat and less fat than domestic ones because they get a LOT more exercise. Exercise is what makes the meat dark and since most domestic animals spend little or no time flying we're accustom to see white meat...

    Thighs

    That's similar to the chicken I cooked this 4th of July: brined, smoked, then grilled to crisp the skin, but I used a Hawaiian style sauce to baste it with while grilling. It's a little more work firing up the extra equipment (my smoker doesn't double as a grill) but it makes for some...

    Why I like This Forum

    Well said! 8) I also post on multiple forums. The thing that keeps me coming back to SMF is some great folks that I don't get to see anywhere else but here. And even though I've been cooking for some time, I still learn a lot from ya'll. :D

    maverick problems

    Sounds symptomatic of a bad probe wire. It may have gotten wet (which may clear up as it drys out), kinked, or burnt. :( A new probe lead usually fixes the problem. I don't have that thermometer but it could be as simple as low batteries.

    First try at ribs

    Not everyone wants "fall off the bone" ribs, but you're allowed to cook and eat what you like. :D When using the 3-2-1 method, the time spent in the foil (2) braises the ribs. The longer they are in the foil the tenderer they will be. Too long in the foil and the meat will become mushy. So to...

    Freezing and smokin

    We vacuum seal and freeze whole or parts all the time. Still comes out tender, juicy, & smoky. I think the only thing that suffers loss is the skin texture if you're looking for cracklin' crisp skin, it tends to be less crisp. We usually reheat in the bag though so that may be the reason.
