    Question about chips in a foil pouch

    Well, I'm afraid my newly ordered AMNS won't be here in time to cook with tomorrow. So I'm going to have to improvise. I'm using my big gas cooker because my gas grill is too small and my UDS is at my parents house, miles and miles away. So I'm going to use chips and put them in pouches and...

    Virgin rib smoker - couple questions

    Thanks for all the great advice! Yeah, I couldn't remember if 3-2-1 was for BBs or spares. Also, personally I would like a little tug, however, I will be cooking these for the lady, and she prefers them "fall-off-the-bone." So I'm guessing if I want to make em fall off the bone, I should...

    Virgin rib smoker - couple questions

    Ok, so here's the deal. I've done ribs before, but not since I delved so deep into smoking. In fact, the only time I ever got ribs the way I like them (nice and tender), I cheated and baked them first before finishing on the grill. I picked up two racks of baby backs from Wal-Marks today. Each...

    Question about new AMNS - burning off oil

    I ordered my first AMNS the other day. I'm hoping like hell it's here by tomorrow so I can use it with some ribs I was planning on doing tomorrow. I know that before I use it I need to throw it in a hot grill and let any residual oils burn off. I think I read somewhere that it needs to be...

    Taking Dixie Grilled Chicken into the realm of smoking??

    I want your recipe! I've seen a few online but they vary wildly. I'd like to get one you stand by. Thanks.

    Second attempt at smoked turkey w/ Q-view - VERY disappointed...

    Thanks so much. I never thought about leaving the water pan empty. I was never certain, but I thought the purpose of the water pan was to help maintain consistent heat. I could be completely wrong, never really known the purpose of the water pan. But it makes sense to leave it empty because it's...

    Drill bit for ECB mods??

    This is a dumb question. But what kind of bit do I need to use to drill through the base and walls of the ECB smokers? I tried it once and had a helluva time getting the bit to pierce the metal. Thanks in advance. Hell, I was probably using a wood bit.

    Second attempt at smoked turkey w/ Q-view - VERY disappointed...

    Great advice. I really appreciate it. I'll have to try that next time. What kind of mixture do you do of OO and butter? Is it pretty much 50/50? Your skin come out crisp? The problem with this smoker is temperature regulation. The lid has ZERO vents on it. So 240 or 250 is about the only temp I...

    Second attempt at smoked turkey w/ Q-view - VERY disappointed...

    I'm about to give up on smoking a turkey. I consider myself a fairly accomplished cook. But I have never ever had so much trouble getting something the way I want it as I have with smoked turkey. This time I did about a 14# bird. Brined it overnight in the slaughterhouse brine. I am only posting...

    Oil-less turkey fryers - Pros? Cons?

    Thanks for all the great info everyone. I may take the plunge eventually, just don't have the funds right now. Someone above asked how long oil will keep when stored...As long as I properly filter it out, I've kept oil for almost a year and didn't have any problem. But for the most part, I get...

    Oil-less turkey fryers - Pros? Cons?

    I hope this is in the right forum. I couldn't find anywhere else that seemed appropriate. After many, many years of frying turkeys using a propane burner and gallons and gallons of oil, I'm thinking of making the switch. The oil is a pain and expensive too. But I've heard mixed reviews on the...

    Crisping the skin not in smoker

    I'm going to eventually build a wooden propane smoker box/house. But I think I am just going to brush it with melted butter prior to smoking. I forgot I have had success with that in the past. I'll post the q-view on Thursday. Thanks for all the advice.
