    Grilling on picnic grills

    Spare or cheap grills work.  You just don't need the legs.  Simply lay flat.

    Having serious problems with smokey hollow 4 in 1

    Have you modded it?  At a minimum, door seals and lower the smoke stack to grill level. There are several topics here concerning this unit:  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/123356/smoke-hollow-4-in-1-combo-grill

    Color of final pork product

    The easiest way to find out if it's your rub, is to cook a side (or even a single rib) without. And yes, any sugar in the rub will carmelize (ie: blacken).  Try a basic rub (salt, pepper, paprika).  Introduce the sweet in the foil, baste, or with the sauce.

    Protecting equipment

    I'd think simply spraying metal surfaces after use with PAM or similar would help protect the bare metal.

    smoke hollow 4-in-1 combo grill

    Just bought one of these myself.  Although I didn't buy it as a smoker.  It's primary use will be as a replacement for my deteriorating Brinkman Professional model charcoal grill.  I've wanted a gas grill for awhile, just for those occasions that I can't or don't want to wait for charcoal, or...

    Pork Steaks

    OK, so I've done quite a few pork butts, both in the smoker and the oven. I typically just cook pork steaks on the grill.  But I've been curious about putting some in the smoker, and possible some "country ribs" as well.  I'm sure others have already given this a shot.  Just curious about the...

    Costco vs Sams

    I've always been extremely happy with the meat selection at Sam's Club.  We just joined Costco and let our Sam's membership expire (don't do enough bulk shopping to justify two memberships).  Haven't tried any meat from Costco yet.  After reading this, I'm second guessing our decision.

    Should I cover my smoker?

    I kept mine covered when not in use.  Better covered than exposed.  And I never covered it hot or wet.

And I experiment with the specialty beers as well, current favs:  Leinenkugel Summer Shandy or Orange Shandy (also...

    seasoning question

    The seasoning process for my Brinkman Grill was to wipe all outside surfaces with vegetable oil and then get it up to temp for 45 minutes.

    What is the max amount of time a rub can be left on?

    I typically add a few hours before cooking.  Having said that, if you don't like the taste, change your rub or use less rub.

    How long does a person expect a grill to last?

    My current grill is a Brinkman.  It's a solid, two chamber charcoal model.  I've had to replace both grills once.  I've had it for 10 years now, possibly 12.  I'm getting a replacement this year as the ash tray is finally rusted through.  It likely would have lasted much longer, but the...

    Traeger Or Yoder? Or what brand?

    I've been researching these as well.  I've pretty much decided on the Rec Tec.

    Starting over

    It's typically a matter of trial and error to find the proper vent settings to get the temps you want/need.  This is of course also affected by the weather conditions. Have you followed someones guide or recommendations to get started?  Have you modified the smoker in any way?  And as noted...

    Now I understand what all the fuss is about brisket

    Looks good.  My last brisket were for the in-laws 50th annv. and they wanted brisket. I had two in the smoker for around 12 hours.  One was firm enough to slice and the other was easily pulled apart.  That was my first pull apart brisket as well.  They both tasted great...who knew.  At first I...
