how did this turn out?
so oak moderates the hickory? hmmm...i'm smoking a roast with mostly hickory and one piece of oak that has already burned up. i want more hickory taste, so maybe next time i wont use the oak on the grill.
today i got a picnic roast, about 8.6 pounds including bone and...
i'm checking out the masterbuilt barrel smoker. i wont be making any mods to whatever i get. on this masterbuilt, it looked like the firebox was kind of small, but you could put a layer of charcoal in the main area also. in the firebox on the side, it looks like the charcoal goes on the grate...
well, i got it to burn,. but when i put it in the smoker in the coffee can, then took out the coffee can, let it burn,. this is my cheap little ecb...an hour later it was barely 212? it never did get up to half way in the ideal section. the charcoal pan looked like it didnt have as much...
and if you goof and your turkey is a little overcooked..do you still let it rest? i only let mine rest less than 30 min, more like 15. i've read things that say 30 to 60 minutes, some say 15 minutes. but the meat still cooks when it's like that, so i didn't want to keep overdoing this. but...

*sigh*
well now, i just turned over the smoker:((( omgawwdd yes i did!!!!:(((( i have it near the far edge of my patio to not be any closer to the house or my propane grill. the top wants to stick sometimes so i was yanking the top off and it turned over. guess i'm glad it didnt turn over on...
What is causing my thermometers to flash between a reasonable temperature and then something closer to the air temp? I thought it might be touching an air pocket instead of meat but I've moved it around several times. I have two chefmate probe thermometers. The one in the meat I have used...
