Boiling Your Ribs Tutorial
Because that's all they know. The only other ribs they've probably ever eaten were from Applebee's or Chili's or somewhere like that. You put enough Sweet Baby Ray's on just about anything and it's bound to taste good. Well, most of it got poured down the drain. Which is why they had to... -
Measuring grill temperature
Anything with a long stem would work. You want to measure the temp at the grate level not at the top of the smoker though. Dave- ddave

Cleaning probe.
DO NOT throw them in the dishwasher. If you get water in the probe tube, the probe will never work again. Just wipe down the probe itself. Be careful of the spot where the wire goes into the tube. If the probes get a little discolored from being in the smoker, I use a green Scotchbrite pad...- ddave

brisket help quick please
That thread wasn't meant to say that ALL stock thermos are that far off. My point is that the stock themos are USUALLY off according to numerous posts and threads on this forum. So just going by IDEAL without checking it with something accurate first can really have you way off. Kudos to you... -
brisket help quick please
And not to hijack FNG's thread but . . . No, they are really not that hard. If you can hold a certain temp range in your smoker, you can smoke a brisket. Just follow the basic instructions in this thread http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=50979 and you'll be fine. There is a... -
brisket help quick please
That depends on the smoker. Some stock therms are WAY off. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ighlight=IDEAL There is no way in the world that a 12 pound packer is going to hit 190° in 5 hours. IF, and I say if because I don't know if you have a thermo for smoker temp, you're cooking... -

Yay . . . I Get to Smoke Something
Well, they finished. The small one finished around 4pm and the bigger one around 5 pm. Here's the small one before pulling . . . And pulled . . . Then the bigger one . . . And pulled . . . They came out great. Bones pulled right out. The drum used a lot more fuel today than I... -

Here's a shot before they went in the foil. In the home stretch now. Dave -
First Shoulder
Sounds like it's fine. If the temp probe is in the thickest part of the meat, just leave it there. Dave -
Yay . . . I Get to Smoke Something
About 5 hours in I stuck the thermo probes in. One was at 161° the other was at 151°. Snapped a pic while I had the lid off. The wind came up and it's really cloudy now. Supposed to be a big storm coming in tomorrow. Looks like it's getting ready today. Wind shifted and was coming at the drum... -
Yay . . . I Get to Smoke Something
I finally get to smoke something this weekend. Haven't fired up the smokers in over a month. Been pretty crazy but today I'm going to fire up the drum and smoke some pork butts. Here's some shots of last night's prep. The usual suspects . . . Couple of 5ish pounders, some mustard and... -
How do you calibrate a thermometer?
Get a pot of water boiling and stick the thermo probe in. The thermometer should read close whatever the boiling point of water is at your altitude. Some dial thermos have a screw that can be used to adjust the pointer to correct the error if there is any. Most digital thermos can't be...- ddave

Meat Thermometer
I don't think the concern is about bacteria on the probe. The concern is bacteria that may be on the surface of the meat that gets pushed into the interior of the meat by inserting the probe before the outer 1/2" passes 140°. Of course this could happen when you inject as well which is why it... -
First Butt Help Please
I also do that. And when the probes get a little dark from being in the smoker, I'll take a green Scotchbrite pad and clean 'em up a bit. Sometimes I get the Scotchbrite pad wet if there's some cooked on stuff on them. I never wash them in the sink. You don't want to get the part where the... -
