    Are budget smokers any good ?

    I had plenty of leaks on my old cooker. My new one has one very small one. I never tried to seal it up because I don't know what's in that stuff. As far as the bricks I did it more to hold heat. Sort of like the effect you get around large bodies of water. The temperature holds more...

    Are budget smokers any good ?

    One thing I used to do was put some old bricks in the cook chamber. This added mass and helped keep the temps more steady. Keep in mind that regardless of the smoker it usually takes some time to learn temp control on it. Also I'm not a huge believer that you have to keep temps strictly in...

    Are budget smokers any good ?

    It's hard to say for certain without knowing more about the actual smoker BUT my experience is that price of the smoker doesn't directly correlate to the quality of the bbq. I used a big box brand offset for a LONG time and it made some really good bbq. I bought a more expensive smoke last...

    Pork spare ribs

    Hi Jason, Everyone has their own preference. I like spare ribs more than babybacks. I think they're more forgiving and simple to cook on my smoker. I cook them in the 225 to 250 range and judge more by the amount they've pulled back from the bone than by temp, etc. That's usually 4-5 hours.

    Smokin for the waist....

    I've always grilled them (as opposed to smoking them) but I agree that kabobs are awesome. Also if you haven't tried it cauliflower rice is good and very simple to make yourself from a head a cauliflower.

    Beef ribs for the first time.

    those look awesome! Dino ribs are something I never tried until about a year ago. Now they're a favorite.

    How long to get offset smoker up to temp?

    I think it may depend on the cooker. I have a Lang and like to give it an hour. That lets the cooker itself warm up which holds temp more evenly.

    Pastrami

    I have one sitting in the fridge right now. I cured it for 7 days, desalinated it for about 10 hours and now it's in the fridge with pastrami spices waiting for the smoker. Smoking it to 150 then steaming it is the only way I've ever done it. They come out great so I'm hesitant to change...

    Another Brisket Question, Please Read

    I always cook brisket over night. For me there are too many variables otherwise and the last thing I want is hungry people standing around while I explain that it's not an exact science. If overnight won't work I'd cook it the day before and re-heat. Otherwise you're asking for your first...

    Pastrami Beef Ribs

    That is sort of surprising. I have a brisket in the fridge right now that's been cured and seasoned up to make pastrami today. I was looking at a couple YouTube videos and came across one, I'll leave the name out, of a professional chef making pastrami. He went through the whole process and...

    Man those been look good!! Makes me feel sorry for the poor souls who pour baked beans out of can, heat them on the stove and think they're good. Nice work.

    Sunday Burnt Ends

    Never had collard greens??? I feel for you :-). These ones were "pre cut" and unfortunately they had a lot of stems still in so they weren't as good as normal but they were still pretty darn good. My helper along with her friends discovered that I had the grease drain open and had forgotten...

    Sunday Burnt Ends

    Summer is here and it's time to start tuning up for football season. Burnt ends, beans, collard greens and corn. Started the briskest around 3 this morning. It finished around 1 pm so I pulled it and put it in the cooler for a couple hours while I floated around in the pool and enjoyed a...
