    Help me diagnose what went wrong...

    Yeah I think with those danish ribs Id probably have gone something like 1.5-1.5-1 tops and then just look at them and see what you think. They are just a small rib. No problem clarifying just wanting to help you get the info you need to make some good Q.

    Would this work???http://www.amazon.com/SE-Electronic-Stepless-Speed-Controller/dp/B000HQAVNI

    I have this same smoker and I tend to have pretty constant temps with the stock rheastat on the plug. I cant say the stock rheastat will be as good as the control unit but its essentially the same thing so your just controlling a rheastat with another rheastat so your going to be doing a lot of...

    Wish I could get stone brews here in Alabama. I grew up in SoCal drinking stone brews. Miss the hell out of them.

    Help me diagnose what went wrong...

    Ok so I just noticed this thread since it was bumbed. I used to work at Chilis as a cook and I can put to rest the precooked rib theory. They even had us taking off the membrane on the back of the ribs. Chilis smokes all of their ribs on site every morning (same for the smoked chicken they...

    Baking powder for crispy skin

    Serving fresh vs. reheated

    I used to do catering when I still owned my restaraunt. Never did smoked meat but did do turkey breasts and roasts. I had two carvers per hundred and then a person at each spot. At 3 hundred people I built a second line. I did a hot dog hamburger event for a technical college once and cooked...

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    I think if I could get a rotisserie unit in here to do a small pig or goat Id be really happy. Im sure I could rig it up just worried about the pig falling apart. Gyro meat in there would be awesome too.

    Master Forge Electric Dome Smoker Model # EBC1102L Review

    Somehow I missed this. Sorry. Hope your smoking away with it. I use wood chunks in mine personaly. I also did season it by just running it with smoke for a few hours and then smoked the next day.

    2012 Masterbuilt Smokers - NEW 30" & 40" Models!

    hmmmm..... Well let us know when they ship it and when you get it so we know what the back order time is like. If its a long wait I can hold off a while longer.  I think that would definatly be plenty of space then. My main time to do large amounts of meats is holidays, birthdays, and...

    best beer for BBQ

    Stone IPA is always a good beer as is their pale ale. Arrogant Bastard is always a favorite of mine personally. If Im going cheap its PBR or Yuengling.

    My first fattie. Not a failure but needs some work.

    Just had a fatty sammy for lunch and it was just as good as leftovers.  I think the biggest complaint I have found in the forums with turkey is that it tends to be dry. I think a) using real bacon and b) adding the bread crumbs solved this. and making bread crumbs is really simple. Trust me I...
