    10lb Chuck Roast

    I am also smoking chuck tonight with the plan to make burnt ends, however, I don't have 8 hours to cook, so I'm trying something bold. I cut the chuck into several large pieces, each about 1" sq, and will put them directly in the smoker with the hope they are done in about 3 hrs. Has anyone...

    Dry rub

    I've been making my own rubs, but going heavier on the pepper. I also am using half cracked pepper rather than ground pepper to get a courser texture. I made pork shoulder and I dry brine the night before and thus used very little sea salt in my rub. The rub was approx 1/2 cup half cracked...

    My 250 Gal. side box build.

    What kind of fuel did you use and how much did it consume to keep the temps at 250? I imagine its not cheap to keep a cooker that big hot[/IMG]

    ***Grilling Smoking & Fire Safety Tips***

    I use a Masterbuilt propane smoker, and my first mistske was I overloaded it. Although there are 4 racks, each large enough to hold a single shoulder, it was too much meat. In order to keep the temp at 250 I had the burner on high rather than medium which is more than sufficient to heat the...

    The remains of my first attempt at smoking for a group

    Yeah, everyone is fine, but it was a major bummer to see everyone so disappointed they didn't get pulled pork. I just spent an hour cleaning it and I think it will be okay. If it's a loss I'm okay with that because I was looking for an excuse to buy a bigger better offset

    The remains of my first attempt at smoking for a group

    I had 4 butts in there, grease spilled out of the drip pan and I had to have the flame on high to keep the temp at 250 and it ignited. Turned off heat, disconnected gas, closed dampers and the flame kept getting bigger. Was next to a building and I decided risking a bigger fire to save meat...

    How to measure draft in home made smoker?

    It seems to me that creating a strong draft, pulling heat and smoke through the cooker, is an essential part of cooking good BBQ. If I am going to build a quality smoker then I need to make sure that heat and smoke are properly moving through the cooker, but how can I tell if this is working...

    Swedish Torch Method of Burning Logs

    Found this video on youtube about how to build a fire using only one log and a small amount of kindling:  I wonder if anyone has tried this method and whether it produces enough heat and smoke to cook?
