1st time a failure, going for a 2nd attempt
Ok, I been working on my butt's, getting them ready to smoke. I'm gonna let the rub sit on them for a while before I decide to go fire up my smoker. I can finally use my wireless digital thermometer. I think I'm going to let them smoke till they are about 170-175 then wrap and foil and... -
1st time a failure, going for a 2nd attempt
Here's some pictures of what I got so far The Rub, the 2 Boston Butts I haven't started on yet, and lol A Steak Dinner that I had at 10 this morning. Several times each year, The Overton County Cattleman's Association have a Steak Dinner and I eagerly await it. They are packed with flavor. We... -
1st time a failure, going for a 2nd attempt
I've been doing a lot of research, and I have bought 2 boston butts and I'm going to start smoking them tomorrow. I made the rub that I got from the 5 day smoking course last night and I do enjoy the taste of it. I had to substitute light brown sugar because walmart was out of dark brown. I... -
I'm not stupid, just would like some help
Its a Brinkman bullet style(ECB) and its got slits all around the charcoal pan. I was wondering if I should cut holes on the smoker itself, maybe 2-3 around the smoker at the base where the charcoal pan. there is a hole in the bottom(about half dollar size). Maybe I won't. I'm going to try...- fatmcrat

Wireless Digital Grill Temp Meter
I never liked the taste of it. I did try some stuff in Marietta, GA that a family member gave me. It is not sold here but it is some kind of alcoholic apple cider drink. I prefer the hard stuff like Jack or Smirnoff. But I very seldom drink *Preacher's Kid*- fatmcrat

Wireless Digital Grill Temp Meter
Well good, answer this for me can you leave it on the grating just to to record the temp inside the smoker? or should it only be used for checking the temp of the meat. i was hoping for using it for smoker temp, but if i can't then i'll use it for the meat. If it can be used for both then I will...- fatmcrat

Wireless Digital Grill Temp Meter
I went to Wal-Mart to try to find something to let me reat the temperature in my ECB better and found this and thought it looked interesting so I'm going to give it a try. The probe goes into the meat and you leave it with the grill while you can take the display up to 100 foot away. So...- fatmcrat

What did I do wrong?
Good Point. I'm going to go get some thermo's that you put on the grating to check the temperature. I picked off the charred skin and they were really good friggin ribs. Everyone else had taco bell. I'm thinking about doing some chickens this week. -
What did I do wrong?
Sorry Its charcoal. I was wondering if I need to mod it with a closeable vent to help regulate the temp more. Like I said, yesterday was the first time I've attempted smoking anything. I took some mesquite chips and soaked them for about 30 minutes, then put them in foil and poked holes in... -
What did I do wrong?

Forum Newbie Here
Been to Natchez many times. I've got family in Mississippi (I'm originally from there)and I live in Tennessee. We would always take the Natchez parkway there because of the scenery, and we wouldn't have to fight the traffic on the insterstate. -
Howdy
I have never smoked any kind of meat, but I love to grill. I'm looking at buying my first smoker, and since its my first, I'm not gonna go big. I have been debating on charcoal, electric, or propane. I think that I will get the best flavor with charcoal and I have found one at Home Depot I think...
