    Greetings from Kentucky everyone

    Awesome rig you built there. Is the entire rig hot or are there hot zones? You could set up temp probes within the smoker to see if it's spiking at specific locations. If you find one spot spot cooks hotter then just move it away. Also check you dampers. If you see a heat spike you can...

    Greetings from Kentucky everyone

    Greetings Thacker sauce and welcome to SMF. I live here in the fine state of Kentucky as well. Any chance you could post a pic of your setup? Also, are you using lump charcoal or strictly wood?

    Turkey Thawing.

    Understood. Thanks for repeating the same answer for a fifth time. I wasn't sure the first 4 times.

    Turkey Thawing.

    I bought a 21lb. frozen BB turkey that I just started thawing yesterday. It's sitting in the fridge now. I've been brining store bought turkeys for years. I'm pretty sure Butterballs are enhanced. Perhaps I should forego the brining ritual this year? What do you think?

    Excellent work.  Looks like a perfect smoke.  I want my ribs to look that good!

    Yes this is late.  But here are the spare-rib results back on 2/20. Pleased pleased with the bark. Tasted good, just too damn tender.

    Be careful what you wish for.  I wanted tender.  Spares already fallin off the bone at the 5 hour mark.  I put them back on the smoker naked to firm up.  What did I do wrong?

    The stall hit about 15 minutes ago. Temp constant at 225.

    Man, these cook quick at 225 degress.  My gut told me to sauce & wrap at the 2.5 hour mark.  I added squeeze butter to each before returning them to the wsm.   I dunno how to determine if they are ready for foil.  The goal is tenderness today.
