Really getting tired of these GMG cookers and temps inside. Time to buy traeger 34 to go with my 24. After 4 hours of gmg set to 240 1 shoulder at 147 other at 171. Hams both 113.
Planning on doing my first whole hog in my GMG Jim Bowie. I never use this smoker any more as I gave it to my dad. I fired it up yesterday to test where the firebox plate should be placed to create the most even temps. Got the right place but when smoker is set to 200 the temps are 300 on both...
Just picked up the pig and it is 53lbs head off. Length wise it is perfect for the Jim Bowie. The legs are a little long so I am going to cut them back to the base of the shoulder and hams. Plan on welding up a simple rack for transport out of metal rods this week if I can find some that are not...

Just bought myself an early Xmas gift. An Anova blue tooth Sous Vide cooker. Did a 2lb ribeye and OMG was it perfect. Did a nice sear after on a cast iron skillet. For those that use these are there any good recipes worth trying?
Looks Nice. How long was it from where the head was to the butt? If you cut the legs back all the way to hams and shoulders would it be about 20" across?
alright so I am going to attempt the first whole hog for xmas this year along with a whole prime rib roast. Competed and won multiple awards in every category but never attempted a hog so hopefully not a failure on XMAS day. My question is for those of you that have done them how long do they...
Thats good. Some things I have learned that can help you a lot as you progress is keep it simple as far as setup goes. Take only what you need. Pre make all homemade rubs, sauces, injections. Take as little as possible to get you thru the comp. This helps you stay organized and easier to clean...
I have waited until Thurs after in a pro comp. They initiated a new scoring system and couldnt figure it out. Good time to do it in a comp where winner gets 12k. If you dont have them by Sun I would be on phone with someone.
Comp was well run. I have been at a few that are crappy and it sucks. This comp gets about 1500ppl each year. 47 teams this year competing. I cook on a pitmaker vault and a gmg jim bowie.i stretched the skins best I could and tucked under thighs. Wrapped tight in foil and put in the firebox of...
Those look good. Ribs may be a touch dark but look nice. Yeah for some reason comps are all about this candy flavor. I fubar my chicken this weekend and removed toothpicks on thighs too soon. Skin shriveled up. Ribs were good but not great. Pork I killed it. Took top 10 chicken. Top 5 ribs. 1st...
