    Isn't the Minion Method Contradictory?

    I've read so many posts and heard so much opinion on pre-heating coals v/s throwing in the un-heated coals and I thought the verdict was that you should pre-burn your coals before throwing them into the smoker. So isn't it a contradiction of this to place unheated coals into the smoker to...

    shoulder clod

    I've never done a clod but can say for certain that chucks are awesome! I think they even taste better than brisket. AND I LOVES ME SOME BRISKET! The other good thing about a 3-4 lb chuck is that you can get them done in 8 hrs or less. Great pulled for sammies. We like to make french dips. other...

    Oddest Thing found in a bag of Lump

    I use Royal Oak strictly. I've found lots of rocks, something that looked like cooled molten metal or something, and fiberglass insulation. I even found a hunk of insulation about the size of a nerf football once. If you let R.O. know you are finding weird stuff, they'll hook you up. Dave

    How To: Keep Smoke Thin and Blue

    I use an OK Joe Longhorn with a side fire box. I like to push the coals to one side and just place a single chunk of wood next to, but not right on the coals so that the wood heats up to the point where it slowly starts to burn. This has been working very well for me recently. Dave

    What kind of wood is a smokehouse?

    What about placement of the s.h? I mean should I take prevailing wind directions into consideration, or is it not that big-a-deal? Dave

    What kind of wood is a smokehouse?

    I've been giving a lot of thought towards building myself a modest sized smokehouse for cold smoking and hanging. My current smoker is a horizontal and I aspire to hang some salmon, sausage, birds, bacon (man do I wanna do some belly!). So now that the wife and I have gone rural and have the...

    Brisket, sliced Point & pulled Flat ?'s...

    I've only done a half dozen or so packers but I believe that a com mon method is to smoke it whole (point and flat together) until 160 or 170 and then separate the point from the flat. The flat then gets foiled and when reached 190 or so is sliced. The point gets left to reach 205 and is pulled...

    Foil wrap or foil pan???

    My last few chucks I've done I've been putting it into a pan of au jus w/ mushrooms, onions, carrots and potatoes. Then it gets up to 200 or 205 and becomes the greatest roast dinner in the (my) world. Pulling is great too, but recently (last 3 chucks) I've sliced or just cut into chunks and...

    Roast Beast Question

    Sounds like a plan. I figured on pulling the roast at 130 to keep it nice and red and then letting it rest for a few, then I'll cool it down over night before slicing. Can't wait! Dave

    Roast Beast Question

    All the recent threads about eye of round for roast beast lunch meat has got me pretty revved up to give it a go for myself. I picked up an eye of round roast today weighing in at just over 4 lbs. I want to keep as much of this as rare as possible, so my question is this: Should I cut the roast...

    Got my smoker back from the painter....need a name.

    Whoa Dude, Right away I thought "What a Sweet heart". So My vote is in for "Sweet Heart". Hope that's not too lame but man.. nice job on the smoker! And you're right. The holes in the ABT rack will need to be much larger. Sincerely Jealous, Dave P.S. Either that or " Big Kick A$$ FU&^%n...

    R.O. Lump Vs. Kingsford Comp Briquette

    I regularly use R.O. lump and was wondering what performance differences there are between that and the new Kingsford Comp. briquettes. Does the KF burn longer? Hotter? I haven't tried it yet just cause I'm so fond of the R.O. but I'm living outside of the city now and I can get to the KF about...
