    Opposite Problem - AMNPS won't blow out...

    Agree Dave. I think drying the pellets in the oven was all I needed. The heat gun was just overkill. Good to know it works if I don't have time to pre-dry the pellets though! It's smoking pretty steady now. I'm doing a cold smoke in a Great Smoky Mountain propane smoker with no heat, just the...

    Coarse Peppered Smoked Bacon

    I'm just a newbie here, but from what I've read - esp. Bear's BBB recipes, you can apply the CBP after you rinse and pat dry and while the pellicle forms before placing in the smoker. I just did that to mine last night. Pulled them out of the refer this morning to start their smoke, The pepper...

    Opposite Problem - AMNPS won't blow out...

    After the second row caught fire and I had a full on bonfire, I dumped everything out to snuff them and started over. This time, no heat gun and I strived for a 'small' cherry glow, rather than a large one. AMNPS is smoking away nicely at a cool 75 degrees and the BBB has entered the chamber...

    Opposite Problem - AMNPS won't blow out...

    First time using the AMNPS, so bare with me.... I dried out the pellets in the stove at 270 last night for an hour or so. This morning, I lit it with my propane torch and then fanned the flames with a heat gun. Now the darn thing won't blow out!! The more I blow, the bigger the flames. I...

    Who smoking for Labor Day BBQ

    Smoked some Bacon-On-A-Stick spareribs yesterday using Bear's recipe (except I used Cure #1 instead of TQ). Thanks also to DiggityDog for the great Cure Calculator - helped me to get the exact amount of Cure #1 per weight of the ribs. I didn't get the full 2 days of curing that Bear called for...

    Who smoking for Labor Day BBQ

    I'm new here and just discovered the recipes for "Bacon on a stick" which looked interesting. Think I might try my hand at making those this weekend... - Matt

    Too much nitrite?

    I re-read the Amazon link above and realized my scale at home is not as accurate as this one for measuring out cure, so I believe I'll take your advice Dave and get this scale after all. Thanks! By adding an unmeasured and variable amount of brown sugar and/or maple syrup to the bags of pork, I...

    Too much nitrite?

    Thanks Dave - but I already have a digital scale - that's how I weighed the pork butt. See second paragraph of my post... ;). I wasn't happy with the included instructions which are in tablespoons/teaspoons per pound of meat. They should have been in grams/oz. per pound of meat. More accurate...

    Too much nitrite?

    First time poster, long time reader... I started my BBB making adventure last night (9/1/15) with 2 butts from Sam's club, each deboned and split in half. I used High Mountain BBB Cure, which comes in 3 small bags. I also added a handful of brown sugar to each of the bags as I've seen that...
