    Pull The Membrane on Baby Backs?

    CORRECTION My bad, when I wrote this I meant: Seriously, being a newbie, I've heard some don't remove it, to me it makes sence if you remove it for less tough ribs. It's amazing what football and beer does when you're typing.

    Prepped BB's for Saturday Q-view

    I picked up 3 full racks and prepped and rubbed them for tomorrow. I've done BB's once before using the 2-2-1 method but it was just one rack divided in two and it just wasn't enough. I liked the way they came out but I have a feeling a full rack will be better. (?) So Saturday I'm going for...

    Can't Get Temps Up High Enough w/Basket

    UPDATE: I raised the baffle in the pit about 2" and tweeked my charcoal basket in my fire box to allow a bit more air. BINGO!!! I did a dry run tonight with some left over Kingsford and played around with my baffle and tuning plates. I can get my temps up to 225° in 20 minutes with a...

    Pull The Membrane on Baby Backs?

    I have 3 nice full slabs of BB's that I just prepped for tomorrow, and I was wondering what the consensus was about pulling the membrane? I've always done it with my past and have now, but was wondering what others do.

    Can't Get Temps Up High Enough w/Basket

    After looking at mine last night and your pics today, we about have the same set up. I believe the plates are to low and not enough air can flow under them. I'm going to raise my tuning plate and drill a couple holes in the baffle tonight and see what happens.

    Dumb Question, Just Wondering

    Glad to hear most everyone doesn't let the weather slow them down. Even though I've lived in Florida for close to 30 years, I still have that thick Michigan blood and enjoy cold weather. I could see myself smoking in less than favorable conditions. Flash, that's one sweet looking Red Fish.

    Dumb Question, Just Wondering

    Yeah, this question was directed more towards our northern friends, I don't think we have more than a few days down here where it might be to cold to fire up the smoker. I used my Weber year round the last few years and hope to do the same with my smoker.

    Dumb Question, Just Wondering

    How many people here cut back on smoking once the fall season arrives? I know a lot of people on this site live up north and was wondering if the cold weather; slows you down, stays the same, or do you welcome it?

    first pork shoulder smoke

    That's a monster, the first one I did was about ½ that, nothing wrong with a big butt though, just plan on having a lot of time. $1.80 lb. is a good deal.
