    Whole Hog

    Bob, I've done my fair share of whole hogs. Granted, we do 'em a little different down here in the dirty south (Carolina), but I'll answer what I can. I've never stuffed a pig with anything, so I can't speak to that. When I do them, I just split 'em in half and lay 'em out. If I have time, I'll...

    Doing my first ham, need help picking one out

    Thanks, Al. No, I haven't gotten one yet. I was just in the store and was looking at what they had while I was in there. So I'll definitely look for a ready-to-eat when I buy it next week. I'm definitely going to use your glaze! Looks good. Thanks. -TB

    Doing my first ham, need help picking one out

    Awesome advice everyone, thanks. I definitely will not forget about the Q-view. I haven't looked at Bear's stuff yet or the link Bear referenced, but I don't need to put the glaze on until the end, right? I don't want to over cook it. I was thinking of doing hickory and apple. Good idea? I was...

    Doing my first ham, need help picking one out

    I've never done a ham before, and am planning on doing one next week. I was looking around in the grocery store and found one that was about a 9.5 pounder, "Ready to Cook, Shank Portion Ham, water added, hardwood smoked." Will this be good? What IT do I need to get it to? I plan on cooking...

    New Master Forge, need help getting temps up

    Thanks, y'all. Yeah, I believe my flame is fine, but need to check that again. And I checked the mods in a search and couldn't find a whole lot other than what I've already done with the rope gasket. I guess I need help with understanding the vents and air flow. I can never remember: does more...

    New Master Forge, need help getting temps up

    I used my new Master Forge Double Door smoker the other day. I had two 4.5# butts in it. Mild day, light, but consistent breeze. About 80 or 85 degrees. Had plenty of propane. I ran it about four or five hours (had to hit the road and finish them in the oven when I got there). I was never able...

    I'm heading out of town this afternoon. Need these butts ready to go by 5pm. I'm putting them on now. I wanted to start at 7am, but I was up until 4am and slept in (ruptured disc in my back, terrible). Anyway, I really just want to give them a few hours of good smoke and then foil em, and take...

    How the heck do the BBQ Gurus (DigiQ, etc.) work?

    I'm very intrigued by these. But I'm still a little confused as to what they are or how they work. Is it basically a temperature regulator? How does it work? Also, does it only work for charcoal, or does it work for propane cookers also? I just got a new Master Forge propane unit from Lowe's...

    Looking for a gas unit, looking at this Master Forge

    Thanks for the head's up. That one looks like what I want too. However, the one I found at Lowe's has about 100 more square inches of cooking area. I'd love to get the extra-wide big boy from Bass Pro Shops, but I don't know if she wants to spend that money. We shall see!

    Need advice "mounting" my chamber probe thermometer

    I'm looking for a better way to "mount" my probe thermometer in my grill(s). I know a lot of people use a hunk of wood with a hole drilled through it. And I'm probably going to do that but I want a little extra support so the probe isn't loosely cradled in the hole. My first question is how big...

    Problem with AMNS

    Great advice everyone. I am going to get the torch lighter, and be sure and get the dust in there and let it burn outside the smoker for a while. I'm sure that's the problem. because I see a small cherry and go ahead and throw it in the smoker. So I'm probably smothering it out. I'll let...

    Case of butts with my first rubbed butt, and Q-View

    Thanks, everyone. Always good to have the hard work appreciated. Yes, that is an AMNS smoker. I just got it and am still working with Todd to get it to my liking. But it's entirely my fault, I'm just not setting it up right. Todd is a master at customer service! Always willing to help out. And...

    Problem with AMNS

    The first time I used my AMNS I had a problem with all of it flaming up. As discussed here: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/103450/need-help-with-amns#post_594301 However, thanks to you all, I was able to easily remedy that problem by placing it on a cookie sheet. But the last...

    Case of butts with my first rubbed butt, and Q-View

    I recently hosted an engagement party for a fraternity brother of mine. Being that all of the hosts were either recently married or poor graduate students like myself, we went simple and I did a case of butts and we had kegs. I did the majority of them my “usual” way, finishing with my own...
