    To Sauce or Not to Sauce? That is the question.

    As noted, personal preference. I usually leave my ribs dry.  If I add sauce, it is at the end about 30 minutes before removal so that it can firm up.  I've found that after you have found a rub that you like, it's not needed.  But even then, you have have some people that like sauce. For...

    Smoking Pork Ribs - *suggestions*

    I simply rub mine before putting them on the grill.  You could do it the night before, but I don't see the point.  I've read enough and watched enough episodes of "BarBQ Pit Masters" to see it isn't necessary.  But everyone developes their own process. I've also found it much easier to skip...

    new smoker

    I'm far from an expert, but I've done it both ways, and flavor wise, I didn't notice a difference between the two.  Assuming your fire/coals are hot, even wet wood will start smoking pretty much instantly.  The wet wood tends to last a little longer, but it's much easier to simply use it dry...

    New smoker help

    You will need to experiment to find out how much to use and for how long depending on how you want the food to taste.  Some people like a lot of smoke, some like less.  It's all personal preference.  Having said that, you should only need a couple pieces at a time to get the smoke going, and...

    Smoking in the rain?

    Smoke ring...or lack of....

    How's the flavor?  Smoke ring or not, you should be able to taste if it's different or not. And regardless of the type of charcoal used, I've always added wood to get the desired smoke.

    First timer with pulled pork--what to do next? lots of questions

    Just seal it up and put it in the fridge. I always pull it and the store.  After it's cool/cold, it will be harder to pull.  And it would be much hardware to reheat a full roast then simply the pulled meat. You can add the sauce before storage or before reheating.  It's simply a way to add...

    How to keep my get my smoker to temp, and hold it there

    I've not done that, but when I've seen it done, it was with charcoal or your burn the wood until you have coals, and then use the coals.

    I've never used the foil method. And after reading the comments here, I see no reason to even try.

    First Smoke - Recommendations?

    I jumped straight into the deep end and smoked a brisket.  But it all boils down to what you want or like to eat, and the amount of time you want to invest. Good luck.

    New Rec-Tec = 3 Times The Fun! (Lots o Qview)

    Nice.  I just ordered mine yesterday.  Had to get a new smoker to put on the new patio, couldn't have the old rusted one sitting there.     So I will hopefully be learning as well in the coming weeks.  Can't wait!

    1st Brisket on My New Pellet Smoker - Heavy Q-View!

    From what I've read about the Rec Tec, it's roughly 1lb per hour (more or less depending on cooking temp and air temp).  As a brisket would be low heat, likely under 1lb per hour.
