    Tips for cutting hardwood?

    If you cut it up into smaller chunks it will certainly dry out and season faster, possibly within 2-3 months. You can also take some chunks and put them in the oven around 350 or so for about half an hour, then turn the oven off and leave em in there for a few hours and that will season a small...

    Charcoal Advise Please

    Lump charcoal is usually about the same price as briquette. Sometimes it may be $2 or $3 more a bag, but it lasts so much longer, it is actually cheaper. When i smoke for 10-12 hours, i might used 1/3rd of a large bag of lump. If you use briquette, you would use a whole bag. I hate to say this...

    Costco Executive Membership

    Ive been an executive member for 6 or 7 years. We usually get a check at the end of the year for between $120 and $280. That basically pays for the membership plus a few goodies. It all depends on what you spend really. If you spend at least $2500 a year there, you will get a check for $50 which...

    Anybody Seen This?

    My thoughts exactly. I think where it would benefit would be from meat not sitting over hot spots as it will hit every heat section as it spins.

    How windy is too windy?

    Depends on the category of the Hurricane or Tornado. Otherwise, it aint too windy! As long as my smoker and myself can stay stationary, its all good!

    How to get super tender brisket?

    Smoke Temp should be about 225-250. Take it to 165, foil it, take it to 205, pull it, let is rest in a cooler with towels for 30 min to an hour and thats about it. If you do all that, you will have the perfect brisket. Theres no shame it putting it in the oven once you foil it either.

    Hickory with Black Spots!

    Are there any really small holes where the black spots are? Looks like Hickory Borer (a type of woodworm) has got into it. If thats what it is, you should be fine, a little extra protein never hurt nobody If there are no holes, i have no idea. The holes could be very small by the way, like the...

    Chrome Shelving Racks From Costco Recalled

    Thanks Ron! I almost bought 8 of those in January, but i think they already have a new vendor as i remember them being a different brand. I found some on craigslist though that were Seville brand for $45 each, so picked those up!

    Question about the water pan for a vertical smoker...

    The main function is to spread the heat out evenly. You will always have hot spots in your fire, so when you have a water pan (or sand pan), those hot spots hit the water pan, and the water evens the temp out, so the heat coming up from the water pan is all the same temp. I have done my own...

    1st Time Smokin and Eatin Lamb: Not My Last!

    The thing about lamb is, you either love it or you hate it. Lamb is one of the few things i do not prefer. I have tried so many times too. I really want to like it, i just cant find a way

    WTF???? 3rd pulled pork attempt...

    Just looked at the link you posted, and i can tell you right now it is not you it is that smoker. I seen it at Lowes or HD and thought to myself "Man, that has a lot of 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch gaps everywhere, that wouldnt work too well to keep heat in". Do yourself a favor, buy some caulking made...

    WTF???? 3rd pulled pork attempt...

    The only thing i would add to what Jeff said is density. I have had 2 briskets before that were almost the same exact size/mass, yet 1 was around 6.5 lbs and the other was almost 9 lbs. The one that weighed less actually felt more tender to the touch and the heavier one felt harder. They were...
