    Commercial smoking vs. backyard smoking

    By far, I'm not a newbie to smoking.  I've put my time in and learned how to smoke very well. Right now, I got a 9lb butt in my WSM, it's been smoking around 250* for the past 7 hours.  It still gots many more hours to go--I'm going to pull it out at 190* internally. I wonder how commercial...

    frozen pork butt

    Men, Last Summer I picked up a few pork butts that were on sale.  I still have 2 sitting in the freezer. I'm wondering if, after thawing and then smoking, if there will be a difference in the flavor? Usually, I buy fresh and then smoke.  This will be the first time that I'm smoking something...

    MES vs. WSM (Yes again)

    I know but I'm a very frugal man.  I can't believe how the price of charcoal has gone up

    Is brining boston butts worth the hassle?

    Here's a question to you: Why would you brine a butt?

    MES vs. WSM (Yes again)

    Yes another thread on MES vs. WSM, I'm not a fan of MES.  I started using it solely for cold smoking and my WSM became my dedicated smoker. Then I ran out of charcoal.  At my local Home Depot, I noticed that bags are nearly $18 (what the heck).  Until the price of charcoal goes down (which is...

    Johnny Trigg and Myron Mixon recipes--UPDATED!!!

    I haven't touched my smoker in months. I've been reading older postings and this one is excellent. I can't wait to start doing ribs again . I had to slow down and eventually stop. Ribs every weekend and a case of beer was having an effect on my waist line and stomach. Lol. I just dropped12lbs...

    Several questions on smoking cheese

    Wow, I forgot about this posting.  The cheese is really good.  The did let the mozerella sit a bit longer to get a better flavor.  It took a while for it to get good. Next time, I'll use a milder pellet and less smoke time for the mozerella.  The Colby Jack was dang good.  Heck, I might start...

    Switching to Bradley from Masterbuilt?

    Hey Nepas, tell us how you really feel about MES.  lol  Seriously, I think with MES, you'll either love it or hate it. Folks brag about the superior customer service at MES--that's because they're aware of the flaws with their product.  It's easier for them to just send new products then deny...

    Switching to Bradley from Masterbuilt?

    A few years ago, I was looking at the Bradley.  The reason why I chose not to commit to it was mainly due to those smoking chips.  Using those chips every 20 minutes will become expensive. And, in this wacky world, what if Bradley went under and stopped making those chips?  With the MES (and...

    Has The Economy Effected Your BBQ Decisions?

    ive run out of charcoal; therefore, I will not be using my WSM until Home Depot has another one of their $5.00 sale. I bought the 18.5 inch smoker adn have gone through the 10 bags of charcoal that was sitting in garage. I went to Home Depot a week ago and a double pack of charcoal is listed...

    Winter finally got here

    Hey man, where exactly are you located? I'm in the Queen City, Charlotte. All last night the news had urgent reports of the city being dumped on by snow and black ice. My boss told me to take my lap top home because most likely uptown Charlotte would be closed due to the heavy snow. When I...

    Health concerns

    Do you exercise? Do you eat vegtables? Do you water every day? Do you drink alcohol in moderation? If you do these, you'll be fine. Like everyone said, everything in moderation.  After smoking a huge fatty, I was worried about my healthy.  But, I try to get in some daily exercise and I...

    First brisket a success - but a little dry.

    I injected and marinated in the fridge for something like 7 hours. Then, I started the fire, then rubbed it, then immediately put it on the fire.

    Brisket--I hate brisket!!!

    Okay, sorry about beating a dead horse but WOW, that brisket actually is good.  I put it in the oven to reheat and wow, the flavor has settled well.  It's got an excellent smoke flavor adn the beef is still moist.  It actually taste a lot better from when I originally sliced it up.  Without a...

    First brisket a success - but a little dry.

    You're asking how to get it so that it's not so dry--I recommend injecting and marinating with beef broth.  I'm still not a fan of brisket but Friday, I smoked an 11lb one and injected it with beef broth and then marinated it for ab out 7 hours.  I rubbed it with a cherry rub and smoked it. ...

    OH WOW! THE McRIB IS BACK!.....yuck.

    Okay, I bought and ate one today... It wasn't the worst thing I ever ate.  What did make me nervous is what's the actual mystery meat. Come on people, let's not be snobby.  This country loves fast foods and crappy foods.  For me, it's not something that I can eat on the regular but it wasn't...
