    Simple beer bread w/qview

    Btw, the butter brushed on top towards the end of cooking totally made it for me. Added a ton of flavor to the top

    Simple beer bread w/qview

    I loved it. It's a little bit heavy (but who cares when you're eating bbq) and it tasted great. My friend loved it too. I used Post Road Pumpkin Ale in it, but you can use your favorite beer. Keep in mind that the beer you use accounts for a ton of the flavor. In regards to not wanting to...

    Today's Baby's for lunch

    I have my charcoal in the "chimney" and these Baby Backs are sittin on the counter to get up to room temperature. I was thinking about doing 2-1-2 for these rather than 2-2-1. I wanted a little bit more of a bark. What do you guys think? I coated the ribs in mustard then I rubbed them down...

    Charcoal wont get hot enough

    well, dont worry about the galvanized, these temps arent doing any harm to the aluminum, its safe. I can get my temps up in the warmer months to 250, even 300 if i want to. Its the cold that kills me. Do you think that I need to increase the airflow out the top? When I take the lid off, the...

    smokin pro vs charbroil silver

    I really want to buy a new offset smoker soon, and there is a huge price jump from smokers like the smokin pro and charbroil silver to the $2000 New Horizon smokers. For a recreational smoker (I smoke stuff maybe 3 times a month) would you recommend the smokin pro or charbroil silver? I hear...

    smoker suggestions?

    Well, what should I be looking to spend, because as I said, I want an offset. I am truly clueless in terms of brand and models and would like to get an idea of what to look for.

    smoker suggestions?

    I want to get an offset charcoal smoker to replace my homemade garbage can smoker. I took a look at the Char-Broil silver and heard that it was thin and "cheap". I'm looking to spend no more than $500 and want a good quality product. What are your suggestions?

    Charcoal wont get hot enough

    Charcoal wont get hot enough

    yes, i have gotten this thing up to over 400 on a nice day. I have plenty of airflow, and I do preburn my charcoal. I was thinking of using Kingsford competition charcoal: I hear it burns a lot hotter.

    Charcoal wont get hot enough

    Im using lump charcoal up here in NY in a homemade, uninsulated smoker. With temps down in the low 20s I cant get my temps up to over 175. Ive even made a wind barrier that surrounds the entire smoker to no avail. What type of charcoal can I use that burns hotter, but doesnt taste bad?

    ABT prep

    Thanks everyone, I just went to pathmark to buy the stuff and they were out of lil smokeys. I bought some ground sausage and i figure im going to brown it first since the lil smokeys would have been already cooked.

    ABT prep

    This will be my first batch of ABTs and I had two questions. I hear everyone using lil smokeys, are these things that I can buy? Also, do i have to cook the sausage first if im putting it into the cream cheese mixture?

    Welcome to SMF, I'm from East Meadow and its always great to see some people from Long Island on here. I feel like I'm the only one sometimes. Heres a hint, during the winter months, prepare for hell when it comes down to keeping your temps up. However much wood(or charcoal) that you think...
