    Hi Tommy Humdinger is right, Lowes and Home Depot have wood chunks and chips for smoking meats. I was in Home Depot last week and they had plenty in stock (In Utica on Hall just east Van Dyke Freeway).  Fruitwood from the local orchards is a great idea. I have not had time to run up to Romeo...

    Need an idea for what to smoke with ribs

    I always do at least one rack of ribs and one whole chicken (Beer Can Style). Both are great as leftovers. We use take the leftover chicken and make into pulled chicken for leftovers, it usually does not last long.  Ribs are also great with a quick reheat on the grill. If you only want 1/2 rack...

    Rookie Question

    Different smokers come with different instructions with the same goal. Run your smoker at a high temp to burn off any oils, paint, and residue from manufacturing and you have to season your smoker with Veg oil. Some combine these two steps some don't.  You do want to keep your smoker seasoned...

    Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel Smoker - First Smokes with Q-View

    For my ribs I did not do 2-2-1 but I wish I did I think they would have turend out more tender.  Wood chucks I put 3-4 ever 2 hours, I found wrapping the chunks or chips in foil and making a pouch works well to prevent flare ups.  I have not tried using a small iron skillet as others have...

    From WSM to Propane? OH MY! Which to Buy?

    I got a Master Built Dual Fuel smoker, it is in your price range ( $179) but not big enought do a full slab of ribs.  I really like my master built and if I really wanted to go bigger I would really consider the XL model. I would prefer a model with two doors though, I see hardly any change in...

    Gas Or Electric for my smoking needs

    I just got a MB pro Dual Fuel popane smoker and I was REALLY surprised how long one tank last.  Becuase you cook at such low temps (I like mine @ 225). The fuel last for quite a long time.  I always have two tanks, the one that is being reserved and one on deck. I have also been smoking over the...
