    Advice for first full packer

    If you can cook the flat you can absolutely cook the point. It has a lot more fat and is more forgiving than the flat. Sometimes I smoke the point and make burnt ends while saving the flat for corned beef or pastrami. Planning on doing some brisket this weekend.

    Power washing a smoker

    I think this is going to depend on what kind of smoker you have. My Lang has a large drain and Ben Lang suggests spraying it out when it's hot after every use to steam clean it. When I had a box store offset I would occasionally remove everything from inside and light the build up in the cook...

    Looking for recommendations for entry level smoker

    First thing to try and determine is if you want to use wood, charcoal or electric. It doesn't sound like you're interested in electric. I personally have a stick burner and even though I have to look after it and feed it wood every 45 minutes or so, that's part of the whole process that I like...

    Finally got the Lang dialed in. Here's some baby backs.

    Nice looking ribs. I'm glad it's starting to come together. How long did you cook them overall?

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    That's pretty close to what I do. I give it an hour to get settled in and once I have that, it's solid. Glad to hear you had a good cook!

    First brisket...Need help!

    sometimes I'll cut it in half and cook the half with the point. I think the point is a lot more forgiving. I like to make corned beef or better yet pastrami from the flat.

    Overnight smoking?

    I do brisket overnight. My wife relegates me to the inflatable mattress because she doesn't like waking up every hour as I'm checking the cooker.

    Bluetooth Thermometer

    I have a Fireboard. It works on Bluetooth or on your wireless network so there's no limit to the distance.

    What did I just do!?!?!

    NICE!! My little Lang has the baffle to the warmer. I haven't used it as a second cooking chamber yet but that warmer box is nice. I didn't think I would use it but I end up using the warmer all the time.

    Pork Butt Timing Question

    Considering it's a party I would probably cook it late on Friday. I hate trying to time a cook. What works for me is to cook it with PLENTY of time to spare and then wrapping it in foil and towels and placing it in a cooler. You'll be surprised how hot it stays. I'd probably do that then...

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    Yep. That's what I was trying to describe. That will at least tell of you're getting good draw from the firebox into the cook chamber.

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    What happens if you leave the lid of the cooking chamber open or at least cracked open? That would eliminate the variable of the stack while still allowing you to close the door on the firebox and see if you're getting draw up under the reverse flow and out into the cooking chamber.

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    Oak is pretty much the only thing I cook on. Never have issues unless the wood's not dry. What happens is you leave the cooking chamber door open or cracked open?

    Not so good first cook on my Lang 48

    I accidentally had my damper half shut and it completely changed the way the smoker worked. I've had my Lang for about 6-7 months and have found the best approach is to start the fire about an hour before I start cooking. For me that gives the whole cooker time to heat up and a good bed of...

    Smoking baby back ribs on the Traeger...

    That's interesting about the temperature settings on a pellet smoker. I'll go back to chopping wood now :-)

    Jeff's Rub vs Meat Church

    I haven't used Jeff's Rub but started using Meat Church "Holy Gospel" a few months ago. It's excellent and worth a try if you're looking for something new.
