    Offset smokers vs. drum smokers in regards to taste of the meat

    Hi Hi, I have a cheaper char broil offset smoker my wife bought for about 70 bucks. I have put some gasket around the edges which helped a bit. I think part of the problem is because of the lower quality the metal is thinner. I also think the top lid of the barrel is warped a bit too.

    Offset smokers vs. drum smokers in regards to taste of the meat

I'm doing this because I have been frustrated at how poorly my offset smoker holds heat (even though I have...

    Favorite types of wood smoke for beef?

    I was wondering what everyone's favorite woods are to use with beef. I have only used Hickory and Mesquite woods so far, and was wondering if anyone likes to use other kinds of smoke flavor their beef.

    Pulled Pork Butt Fatcap

    Good job! I really enjoy doing Boston butt roast. I personally have enjoyed cooking it in a way similar to brisket and not trim the fat off and let the juices from the fat percolate through the meat to keep it tender.

    Frustration with lack of smoke ring and muted smoke flavor

    So I am trying to figure out why sometimes I can make a cut of meat and it have a beautiful ring and a good flavor to it, whereas other times it seems like I do the exact same things but the meat is not up to the standards I want it to be. I smoked a pork loin today using applewood, and had it...

    Benefits of brining?

    Hi, I've brined pork roasts twice now, and have some questions: First, what are the actual benefits of brining? How would a pork roast that has been brined be better than one that isn't? I ask because several months ago I brined three roasts for about two days, with some of the meats losing its...

    Dealing with smoker leaks

    Hi there, I have a lower end Char broil offset smoker. I have had issues with it retaining heat, noticing that smoke and heat seems to leave in the main box, and at the base of the chimney. I can often see some smoke seeping through. I was curious what works best for sealing the leaks in my...

    Newbie here

    Hi! I joined up because I love grilling and smoking. I started smoking and grilling seriously about four years ago. I still have a lot to learn, and figured it would be good to find some people to talk that might have some good ideas and pointers to help me improve. I hope to have some good...
