    Serious smoke this weekend-I have to be crazy

    well the brisket, chuckie and abts are all done and I have to admit they were all pretty good. The chuckie was pretty dry but it was very very thin and I didn't adjust my times accordingly so while the flavor was good it was pretty dry, but lesson learned. The ABT's were good, although they...

    Serious smoke this weekend-I have to be crazy

    Well "ye ol' smokehouse" got cranked up at 11;30 this morning and immediately I had problems. I tried the minion method again (for probably the last time) and things started off very slow and I was thinking that it might actually work this time. Well, that was up until my smoker hit 225 and I...

    Dumb thermo question - foiling leads

    i know its 300+. The very first smoke I did with my new ET73 I ruined my smoker probe because my heat really spiked on me and shorted out the probe so right now I am down to one probe. Not to hijack the thread but were can you get new probes online?

    Minion Method problems-Advice wanted

    Steve, As far as I know everything has been sealed up just like it was designed to be, I suppose it is possible that I did not have the cylindar on there correctly. I have done with an abient tempature of 40 all the way to 80 is the highest I have smoked in so far.

    Minion Method problems-Advice wanted

    Okay I have attempted to use the minion method three seperate times now and all three times I had the same outcome: all the coals and wood lit almost immediately and my temps went WAY above 300.

    what happened

    Serious smoke this weekend-I have to be crazy

    Ya this is all for me. I might share alittle of it with a friend of mine but most of it is mine. I plan on slicing the brisket and pastrami as thin as I can for sandwhiches, the roast will get pulled and the abts I don't think will make it out of the garage

    Serious smoke this weekend-I have to be crazy
