    Prime Pastrami w/Lots of Qview

    Looks awesome! I did a pastrami for my Super Bowl party with an Eye of Round Roast.... It was no Prime Brisket, but I got it for $3.25 a pound. was pretty proud of it, not as tender as to be expected, but good for the price. Damn that Prime Brisket does look amazing! Never tossed a chili...

    Entering the pellet world.

    I am! thank you for the suggestion. I will try just using the tube and the heating element and not filling the tray. That makes perfect sense.

    Entering the pellet world.

    Those torches are fun! just bought one this past weekend myself. I got a tube for the pellets.... kinda disappointed, kept going out. I got kind of a cheaper electrical smoker and I just felt I wasn't getting enough smoke at 225, so I got it to add some smoke flavor in there. was...

    Smoked Uncured Ham?

    That Brine sounds good. I would assume this will be a little more "pork chop" like than Hammy without them being Cured. I have seen Ham steaks, and these are just cuts of ham chopped and sold in a hunk as opposed to a full Ham. Regardless I think that apple brine on some pork steak sounds...

    Pork loin: Help me decide, please...

    Pork loin: Help me decide, please...

    All good choices. I cook a lot of porkloin, I have a butcher in town that runs awesome deals on it. I have gone the Canadian bacon route, I don't love it, just a taste and preferences thing. I like to smoke the entire loin at 275 for about 90 minutes with apple, pecan, or maple wood...

    TOO MUCH PINK SALT

    I got really worried and thought I used to much cure for a wet brine, but wet brines you use more than dry. I did some reading on the subject and realized I that for wet brining I was cool. I use Alton Browns Brine he uses on Corned Beef...

    My first smoker

    I never heard anything about needing a regulator. Amazin Smoker? that is those racks for pellets correct? Probably an option, but I think I'd just get Pecan Chips. I like Pecan with both Brisket and Poultry. If you want the smoke a little stronger make a mix of Hickory and Pecan...

    How to get "fall off the bone" smoked ribs?

    I am surprised the 3-2-1 Method isn't getting you super tender results.   As others have stated maybe your getting to hot in the smoker?   When I do Ribs I make it a bit of a process.   Day 1 I soak them in Pineapple Juice,  Day 2 Use your favorite  rub and let  them and let them sit all day.  ...

    Cooking a packer brisket this weekend

    Ive had great luck with brisket, but i dunno about the offset. I always smoke um at 225 about 75 min a pound and foil them after 4 hours. Get um up to 205 degrees. Id go fat side up for sure. Maybe try rotating it every hour to deal with your hot spot issue.
