    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Don't get discouraged. 6 racks of ribs is a big load for a machine that's fresh out of the box. You just have to get to know each other a little better. ;-) I have a trailmaster and found it frustrating at first also, but after you break it in and get a few smokes in, it will get easier to...

    Peach Jam!

    This was about a year or so ago, but I bought a jar of peach jam to experiment with as a glaze on a pork loin. Wasn't going for anything over the top but I wanted to try something new. My wife looked at me like I was high as a kite! It was like a knife to the heart. I was so deflated that I...

    Foil works well for filling in gaps until you come up with a permanent solution.

    first time spare ribs

    Feel for ya there. That's happened to me plenty of times when I needed another hour and things would have been perfect. Still looked really good though. :-)

    NHL playoffs

    I don't follow NHL as much as I would like, but I'm going to try to pay more attention to playoffs this year. Here in Rockford we have the Icehogs (Blackhawks of the AHL). It's cheap, fun to watch the future NHLers come and go, and just as exciting. The Wolves (St Louis Blues I believe) aren't...

    First time smoking over fire...can you help me decide?

    I was in a similar situation last year. Wanted to upgrade from my flimsy offset and spent a lot of time debating between a WSM or a new offset. Something to consider is how much time you want to spend with your smoker. WSM's have a good reputation of being set-and-forget once you learn how to...

    Breaking in my new toy

    I will keep that in mind for next time. Thanks!

    Breaking in my new toy

    Is that cheese melted on top? I've never thought of cheese going good with pulled pork but I want to try that! What kind is it?

    9.4lb Pork Shoulder

    I don't think it's too soon at all, especially for something that size. Maybe even sprinkle on some more right before cooking. Looks good already.

    Question about switching from an offset to anything else

    I still use an offset, but my next one will be the 22inch Weber Smokey Mountain. Its got awesome reviews and People on here always have good things to say about them too. Good luck with your decision :-) :-)

    Natural lump

    Hey tbones. I used Royal Oak lump once for direct grilling like you did and found it to be quite different in taste. Not necessarily bad tasting, but very strong. So I use mostly Kingsford for grilling with a few good size pieces of Royal Oak mixed in to get some of that stronger smoke but not...

    Your batting average...

    I don't get to use my smoker as often as I'd like but I can rate myself this way: Whole chicken (once): Fail. Awaiting rematch. Vegetables (few times): Epic Fails so bad that I've given up on veggies. Pork butts/ribs/loin (several): Neighbors keep coming back!! Beef round roast (twice): Fair...
