Max Time In The Cooler?????
What is the max time that meat should be held in the cooler to rest. I usually keep a 12lb brisket in there for about 4hrs, but I have heard of people leaving it in there all day or night. Also, should this time be different for pork? -

The "REAL" truth about Jeff's rub......
I'm proud to say that the above is my honest opinion and the honest to God truth! If I seem overly excited and "infomercial like" its because I have spent the past year making crappy ribs, and wasting a bunch of $$$. Again, this is MY testimonial and I have never been contacted by anyone... -

Re-heating Brisket??????
I have a real problem when it comes to re-heating brisket. I usually microwave it and get that unexplainable "funny taste". I have used the drippings from my pan to add to the sliced meat. However this either makes my meat too greasy or it gets bitter from some of the burnt stuff that was in the... -

Fatties Step by Step, please Help
I have never smoked fatties before and need some help. Is it as simple as buying some JD sausage, stuffing it (if you like) rolling it up and smoking it? Is pan smoking a good idea to keep it from drying out? Also... what types of sausage can I buy at the store to smoke, brats, kiobasa... -
Vertical Smoker Is Making Jerkey Out Of My Brisket
Actually I have been using chips in my vertical smoker, not chunks, like I use in my horizontal. Are chunks better in the vertical? Also... I have been looking at the dual thermometers, the ones that measure the cooking chamber and the meat at the same time. It seems like this way you would... -
Vertical Smoker Is Making Jerkey Out Of My Brisket
Yes,this thing has a HUGE water pan and smoke box. No, I haven't checked the thermomometer yet, but that will definitely be next. The brisket was done in 12 hrs, not good for a 12lber! Also, I always have trouble posting pics....... Thanks for the help!!!!!!!! -
Vertical Smoker Is Making Jerkey Out Of My Brisket
I just used my Smoke Hollow vertical smoker for the first time and my brisket is burnt on the bottom after only 4 hrs. of smoking and it is a 12 lber. Am I missing something? Is the thermo. not accurate? Do I need to install some sort of baffle? I have always smoked on a horizontal and bought... -

Propane Smoker Modifications
Thanks fellas! I was so sick of running out to the smoker every 15 min. to check on my charcoal, that I decided to "go gas". I was prepared to plop down $200-$400 dollars on a new propane smoker. Well not now, I am going to buy the conversion kit and save myself some $. Thanks Again...- xtexan
