    Smoking my first rack of St. Louis ribs...

    Too late, I already made them and they turned out delicious. Besides, what you give above is good advice. I was looking for bad advice. I mean...how in the world would I be able to blame you for anything that went wrong when you gave me a time-tested, nearly idiot-proof method? :biggrin:

    Smoking my first rack of St. Louis ribs...

    ...and I need some bad advice so I'll have someone to blame if they don't turn out. Thanks in advance to all those willing to throw themselves on this finger-pointing grenade. :biggrin:

    bought a new Thermoworks toy

    That's correct. I just used the Ivation name because that's the one I bought.

    Thermo Works Smoke

    What I'd really like to see is a WiFi thermometer that integrates with my SmartThings hub and/or my Amazon Echos so that when I'm upstairs I can ask, "Alexa, what's going on in the smoker?" and have her tell me, "The smoker's temperature is at 226 degrees, and the food's temperature is 184...

    Thermo Works Smoke

    OK, that was informative. Thanks. Some thoughts: I can see how the heavier, more rugged build would be of value to some. For myself, I don't put my thermometer units through any rough handling, and their light weight means that even if I do drop one of them they're very unlikely to...

    Thermo Works Smoke

    Unless I'm missing something (and I might well be), according to the description it appears to deliver essentially the same functionality as the $59.99 Ivation (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AGNOUBU/?tag=smokingmeatforums-20). So why the $40 premium?

    bought a new Thermoworks toy

    Looks nice.  But pre-ordering for $99 seems like a lot when the Ivation delivers the same functionality (save for the multiple-receivers-per-transmitter support) for $60 via Amazon and is available already.

    what brand of pellets to get for the AMNPS?

    I used my new AMNPS for the first time this past Saturday on some cheese curds, so take this newb experience for what little it's worth...but I used these and was pretty happy with the results:

    YANUT (Yet Another New User Thread)

    Thanks. Several things influenced my decision, with the most significant ones being: 1) I'm too lazy to fool with charcoal, and none of the electric units in my price range had the capacity I wanted plus a good reputation for quality. That narrowed the field to propane smokers (which works...

    Saturdays are Fowl

    If your chicken is crocheting it's going to need a hooked needle and some yarn. The mallet might come in handy for croquet though. ;)

    Advisability of sous vide & smoked chicken wings

    Thanks.  I'm already well sold on sous vide.  Although it's bordering on religious heresy in these parts (NE TX), I've already concluded that unless I'm pressed for time I'll never grill another ribeye, preferring instead a 1.5 hour bath at 139ºF to medium-rare perfection, followed by a 30...

    "Real" Jambalaya!

    I just used my Lodge 7 qt as a fryer on Sunday and was thinking that I don't pull it out of the cabinet often enough...and here you've gone and given me a good excuse to do so. I'm in Northeast TX, but I do make a mean shrimp gumbo for someone on this side of the border. I guess I could try my...

    Advisability of sous vide & smoked chicken wings

    Well, all went as planned. They were outstanding...exceptionally moist but not at all greasy, and the smoke was almost subtle, but definitely present. Oh, and the brisket wasn't bad either.

    Advisability of sous vide & smoked chicken wings

    Nope, just in time, actually. I'll be making everything tomorrow. Thanks, that's exactly the info I was looking for. That's the time and temp I had in mind as well, then into the smoker for a bit and, after that, into a Dutch oven with peanut oil at 375F for 1-2 minutes.

    Advisability of sous vide & smoked chicken wings

    Oh, sorry.  That's what I meant by, "how long will the wings need to stay in the smoker at 225 F".  I probably should have been more explicit about that.

    Advisability of sous vide & smoked chicken wings

    I did try a search on this subject but found nothing, so my apologies in advance if it's already been covered elsewhere. I'm going to start a brisket in the SV24 tomorrow morning, but also would like to do some chicken wings so that we'll have something ready for lunch while waiting for the...
