    Perfect grilled chicken? I need help!

    Ok, so I have been smoking for about 7 years (Thanks to this site for all the help).  My question is about grilling chicken.  I have made decent grilled chicken whether on a charcoal, gas/ propane or even open fire.  BUT when I eat grilled chicken at a decent resturant, it is always pretty darn...

    Reverse Flow Smokers and east texas smoker company

    I am looking at the 250 model and will probably purchase in late January.  My dad lives in Tyler and this company has a great reputation around town.   I had looked at Gator pits but they were way overpriced in my opinion (nothing against their quality they make a fine product).  I plan to add a...

    Smokers, Whats your age and how long have you been smoking???

    Sorry as this is an old thread. I'm 45 and got hooked on this 7 yrs ago. Besides the meat my favorite aspect is the relaxation it brings!

    Preseason cast iron grates

    When I did mine someone told me to get a few lbs of bacon and cover them, and then light it up. I have an okie Joe and it worked fantastic, and yes I ate all the bacon

    Wood Chunks -- where do you put them??

    It may depend on what type of smoker you use - I have a large offset Oklahoma Joe smoker, so I typically use a mixture of lump and logs.   I have used chunks before and I set them near the fire where they would smoke, and then eventually catch fire.   I kept them far away from the inlet to the...

    Why dry rub? Why not just season the pulled pork after it's cooked?

    Timberjet - Hatch is also our favorite.  Next week here in Fort Worth, Central Market will have their HAtch Chili fest where they roast them onsite.  We usually buy a whole box and freeze them for use throughout the year.  Absolutely fantastic!

    Why dry rub? Why not just season the pulled pork after it's cooked?

    IF it is, sign me up haha :) one method I have done for kicks with my pork butts is to inject them with Hatch green enchilada sauce - a whole can, and then rub with a green chili seasoning I got in new mexico that is salt free.  comes out fantastic for pulled pork tacos.   I usually add some of...

    Prime rib!

    Thanks Bearcarver- I pulled it at 132 knowing the temp would rise about 5 degrees during rest. I gotta say it was so good - everyone loved it - nice to be the cool that everyone is complimenting!

    Lump Charcoal???

    I use lump mostly in my smokes - I too like the fact that it seems to burn hotter and leaves less ashes.    I have used "BB" or Better Burning and had good results with bags of Stubs that Costco sold this summer (I bought 4 bags).   I agree with someone else's comments on the Cowboy, it seemed a...
