    A little help with rain....

    ok I am in Texas and as you may be aware we have busted our drought in a big way. That's great but it sucks if you finally have a free weekend to light up the smoker. I've smoked before in light on again / off again rain - but wondering if anyone has any tips. Yes I'm a tad desperate lol...

    Smoked chicken hints/tips/ questions on moisture, time and temp

    For something different, try brining in pickle juice.   I take a good quality jar of pickles - like vlasic kosher dills (the ones in the refrigerator section).   Costco also has Carnegie Deli pickles that are awesome.  Anyway, save the juice and brine in that juice for 6 hours or more.   It...

    Thanks for the info Bruno994!   I actually have wanted to try Bad Byrons and will definitely now.   I have been using Williams Rib Tickler as my base lately but have been wanting to try different things - I either make them spicy or wimpy depending on who is eating them.  On the Cherry Cider I...

    Q-View Spares

    Altramagnus - can I ask where you got the flex pipe to extend the pipe down to the grate?   I believe we have the same smoker and was thinking of doing the same thing - is it as easy as a pipe used for a clothes dryer?   Thanks in advance, and the pics were aweosme!

    First comp and my ribs got 4th

    This is one of the briskets, as I was wrapping it.   I usually take pics as I cut slices / cut the ribs but it was down to the wire from a time perspective, and the food was inhaled haha.

    First comp and my ribs got 4th

    Entered a cook off with a good buddy - it was thru his church but it was really serious. This was the 6 th year it has been put on.
