    smoked polish sausage w/qview

    Yeah they look great. What was off about the texture to you? I don't know what you were going for in the smokyness, alot of people prefer more, some prefer less, but your smoke in that picture looks a little white in color and rolling. You want to go for a thin blue smoke, as prolonged...

    Mod. For Hot Plates -QVIEWS

    I had a similar experience with a GE from wally world, it didn't get hot at all, and when you tried to force it to it burned out. Thank god wal mart takes anything back right! The one girl even said "man this thing even smells like smoke", she didn't know enough to know it smelled like good...

    Yum.....planning a spread like this for a "day before the superbowl" party we are throwing, hadn't thought of the bacon wrapped jalapenos, have had them grilled but not smoked...and smoke makes everything better right? Thanks for the inspiration.

    Mod. For Hot Plates -QVIEWS

    Awesome tutorial. Thank you very much. Now has anyone found a high capacity rheostat or anything like that to be able to control the heat? I run 2 hot plates, one constant on, and the other I need to be able to vary its output to make things work perfectly for me.

    Windows Vista, IE-8, Windows Defender/One Care...

    Agreed on windows defender....its not good, Microsoft security essentials is a different product from that entirely.

    Windows Vista, IE-8, Windows Defender/One Care...

    I think IE8 was your problem, especially if you had adobe flash plugins, there are holes in them. Thats why you use chrome ofr firefox if at all possible. Just an FYI...I work at a computer repair shop at our isp.....and we recommend microsoft security essetnials and avira anti vir as our top...

    How to maintain thin blue smoke GOSM?

    How long do you soak? I'll try it your way with fewer holes in my tin foil with soaked chips.

    How to maintain thin blue smoke GOSM?

    I wonder if running fewer chips and then chunks might be my ticket....I will maybe run to the store and get some hickory chunks to try it out.

    How to maintain thin blue smoke GOSM?

    I am running at 225-250, I tested my thermometer, and ran it parallel with my digital which was also tested, both are spot on 32 in ice water and spot on 210 in boiling, so my temps are correct. Thats my burner on low or just a bit above low to hold those temps, and I have adjusted my flame to...

    Along nighter brisket w/Q

    Looks awesome. Ok so noob question, burnt ends is the ends of the brisket cut off and sauced and put back in the smoker? I never knew you sauced them before you put them back in, or is that just your special way of doing things? They look awesome.

    New "Easy Access" GOSM w/BassProView

    bought the display model for 20% off, it was the only one they had. I can control the temps pretty well right now, but may look into doing the needle valve mod come summer. You seem to lose some heat and smoke from the drawers, and I am going to be looking into a better way to seal them up...

    How to maintain thin blue smoke GOSM?

    Hey guys. Relatively new here. Have been using my huge home built electric for smoking cured sausages, and its been great, but it tops out at about 200 and I want to get into doing butts and brisket as well as having a smaller smoker for just smoking things for the wife and me or a few...

    BBQ tour for research

    Good advice above. As far as your trip, my all time favrite bbq place I have ever been to (and thats not a whole lot) is the original Arthur Bryants in downtown KC. Its not an extremely nice place, but the food is good, and the atmosphere is there. Make sure you speak up when you order, they...

    Where do you buy your sausage seasonings?

    www.midwesternresearch.com is where I get all my stuff. I love their mixes, and if I am in the mood to try my own they carry all the bulk stuff as well. They also carry equipment, high temp cheeses, casings, just about everything and always ship same day if you order by 4:30 central. Plus...I...
