    Baby backs first attempt

    Ribs that are literally falling off the bone are not the right way IMO. Usually means they are overcooked, but its not easy to tell as they are slathered in BBQ sauce. I throw 1 or 2 slabs of baby backs on the smoker anytime i cook anything else. I probably go through 5 or 6 slabs of baby backs...

    2nd Brisket Ever, 1st On MES 30", With QView

    Looks good! One suggestion i would make is to cut against the grain of the meat instead of with it.

    Insulated Stainless Steel Ice Chest. Possible Smoker Cabinet???

    Depends on what they are insulated i would think. Being ice chests id be willing to bet they are insulated with some type of styrofoam/foam which would probably melt and possibly cause the seams to come apart if it releases any gas when melting. This is of course just my hypothesis as i have no...

    Smoking my first brisket pics included

    Looks like a good mod! I havent done anything that nice looking as i am going to build a new smoker soon. It will actually be loosely based off the smoker we both have, as i love it, but would like it to be a tad bigger. I have my charcoal grate sitting on the bottom, and i think it is very...

    Smoking my first brisket pics included

    Np man, once you make a new place for your charcoal/wood, i think you are going to be amazed. I think you will be ok without seasoning it too. Both vents pretty much control air flow, but for the most part, your bottom will effect the air getting to the fire which effects the heat, and the top...

    Smoking my first brisket pics included

    Here are some pics that may help. You wont see my water pan in the first pic as i dont put it in till my fire simmers down. I have had that old grill grate in the bottom for my charcoal for 9+ months now, and it is holding up fine. I forsee it lasting at least another year.

    Smoking my first brisket pics included

    Thats the same smoker i use. I use mine usually every weekend or every other weekend at least. One thing i want to ask is did you season it first? From the looks of the pics, it doesnt look like you did. As a word of caution, you should be the first to taste it (as cooks we all usually do )...

    Turkey brine question/opnion

    My initial reaction is that there is a lot going on. Im not saying it wont taste good, but i tend to think less is more. Id take a few things out and make it look like: 1 1/2 gal filtered water 4 cups ice 2 - 12 oz cans frozen apple juice thawed (Frozen cans are usually concentrate) 1 1/4...

    In Atlanta, GA this week, any good BBQ places to eat?

    I live in Atlanta myself and have heard Fatt Matts is good. Only places i would recommend are One Star and Swallow at the Hollow. Personally though i would say they are both decent, but nothing to write home about. I havent found a BBQ joint yet that is to die for. Only place like that was...

    Converting Stainless Steel Propane Smoker to Charcoal?

    That looks good. Im assuming you have not encountered any problems from the conversion? Do most propane smokers have air inlets similar to charcoal smokers? I still havent seen the one im wanting to look at in person, but i do not see vents on the side in the pic. I may have to add some if it...

    I thought it may also be worth mentioning that i am a charcoal/wood smoking kinda guy, so i have experience in that area. I am looking to keep the fire in the bottom of the stainless steel smoker. Here is a link to what i am going to look at. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/for/1404331712.html

    Converting Stainless Steel Propane Smoker to Charcoal?

    Thanks for the reply! That actually looks pretty damn good! I was thinking more along the lines of keeping the fire in the bottom of the stainless steel smoker instead of adding a sidebox. It may also be worth mentioning i am a charcoal/wood smoker kinda guy, so i have experience in that...
