Rib Rub Question
I've found a lot of store bought rubs are high in salt content and overpower the meat. I make my own rub with a mixture of brown sugar, kosher or seal salt, gound pepper, garlic, ceyenne pepper and paprika. I add other ingredients as the mood strikes but those are the basics. I coat with... -

How to keep Skeeters away?
I had heard "bug zappers" didn't work on skeeters because they are drawn to your breath and sweat not light. They do have several propane fueled mosquito killers on the martket. Google "mosquito repellant" for a huge range of options. I've heard the propane models work very well attracting...- stacks

Smoking Temps
I agree with Joe. I've only smoked cheese twice but had great results. I lit 3 charcoal briquets and placed them on a piece of hickory and put some apple chips on top of them in my offset with the dampers closed (or almost). The temp never got above 80. The outside temp was 40 and calm...- stacks

Feral Cats
Two weeks ago the wife found a feral Kitten (about 10 weeks old) under the hood of her car. Just a kitten right? She went to grab the thing and it bit through her finger! The DR wouldn't stitch it and close in any potential bacteria or infection. Had to capture the cat and keep it for ten...- stacks

Beginner needs help
Hey Bubba - In short - I don't. But as I said in an earlier post I mostly use the thing for grilling. The Kingsford Masterbuilt has a large cooking area. I build my fire as far to one side as possible and cook on the other side when needing indirect heat. Don't get me wrong, opening the air... -
Beginner needs help
Since I don't know the type of unit your using, only the description; I'm going on the assumption it is similar to mine. To keep your temps within range, you give or take away the amount of air the fire can have to burn. More air flow = hotter fire. Less air flow = cooler fire (a smoking fire)... -
Beginner needs help
I might suggest using your grill a couple of times to get a feel for it. I've got a Kingsford built much like yours. With ALL the vents closed there is no way to regulate the heat. The charcoal will get enough air to reach its max temp (sometimes over 400 degrees) then die out to ash. I only... -
Big smoke this weekend, one question though...
1chaos52 - If you take your chicken to 140, your still in the danger zone for bacteria and will want to get it into the fridge quickly to avoid contamination. You won't need to freeze. If you plan on grilling right off the smoker to crisp the skin you will be heating it up beyond the danger zone...- stacks
