    Smoke Ring Question

    To Flash - I didn't know about no ring till they were done.  I was just saying that they were in smoke for a solid 3 hours. Then heat for the rest of the way.  The way I've always done it. To Kimmeastar & Swamp Puppy - I agree with you both about ring/no ring as long as they were good. (And...

    Smoke Ring Question

    Hi all - I've been doing this hobby/obsession for a while and ran into an issue regarding smoke rings. July 4th, I did a rack of spares.  I did them exactly how I've always done them. Membrane off, trimmed the skirt, oiled & rubbed the night before. The day of...let meat get to room temp while...

    Saturday 7/7 Brisket

    Husker - pulled it off the smoker at 180* IT.  I didn't probe it while it rested, so I don't know what it was when sliced.  I'll pass along the slicing compliment to my wife...she wields a mean blade!

    Saturday 7/7 Brisket

    We're gonna have some fresh sweet corn, beans and homemade slaw to go with a nice brisket tomorrow. Had a "discussion" with the so-called butcher at Sam's.....I wanted a mid sized brisket, all they had on display was 12 - 15# plus.  I asked for a smaller one (8-9#).  He found one, but the price...

    Big Vacation Smoke

    I wrap up racks and freeze them all the time.  When you want to reheat, make sure they are completely thawed, wrap them in foil with a little extra sauce, heat in the oven at 225* for an hour.  They come out great! I do this usually in late fall so that we can eat all winter and not have to...

    July 4th Ribs

    Hi all!! I haven't posted in a while...not due to lack of smoking, but more to not having pics to post (laziness happens).  We were invited to a July 4th party at a neighbors house.  My wife had bought a nice rack of spares that were on sale ($1.99/LB - I told her that she should have bought...
