    Hello from Kansas

    Welcome Alan, great to have you on board. You'll find tons of great recipes and methods here. For Ribs, I'm not the right person, I specialize in whole chickens. But when I do Ribs, I have had the best luck with the 3-2-1 method. I use Jeff's rub a little modified and sometimes even just...

    Hot Dogs and Brainstorming.

    X2...147* is not going to catch anything on fire if it is not direct flames. Still, if you feel more comfortable with something metal, you could probably find rods and mesh to bend and fashion to your smoker at a local hardware store or big box store. Just thinking outside the welding...

    Jumped right in with the horizontal smoker - Question about temp regulatin'

    Yes, you HAVE to play around with it. I have a smoker like that and on my last smoke (9/10) I started with a liberal bed of charcoal and added hickory just before I put the meat on. I didn't have a problem keeping it at 230-240 consistent. The only thing I did was put more chips in every 45...

    1st Signs of Winter

    Well..have fun with that Todd. I don't envy you a bit. I moved to South West Florida in 1988 because I survived 13 years of Syracuse NY winters and said enough is enough. I have been back only once. You know what I used to say? If you get hot, it's easy to cool off quickly, but when you get...

    New Smoker

    Welcome. I would not put anything on the elements. There's going to be kick back heat and your element will suffer early demise. I'm not familiar with your smoker so I can't give good advice on increasing the heat. Play around with it till you see what works and what doesn't. You'll lose some...

    What to do, finger on trigger

    Well, you're certainly cutting it close. If $ is not in the equation, my bullet would be aimed at the 22 1/2. More grilling/smoking real estate. Smokin' Al would have great input I'm sure, as well as a few others here. Good luck on the weekend smoke. Take pics and post...James
