    PERFECT RIBS EVERY TIME! This really works!

    I followed these instructions a few weeks ago (sorry, forgot to take pics).  I had some really meaty baby backs.  The smaller pieces came out perfect, but the larger ribs with a lot of meat on them were a bit tougher than I would have liked.  Should I have smoked them for longer to get a higher...

    First Tri-Tip

    I'm planning to smoke some tri-tip tomorrow for some out of town family, haven't done one of these yet.  I was planning to aim for 130 IT at about 220.  I'm guessing that will take about 3 hours (please correct me if I'm wrong).  I have two large pieces at almost 8lbs.  A few questions.  First...

    Smoke Vault Rib Rack?

    Hi All, I'm new here, just ordered a Smoke Vault 24 that's arriving today.  I'm planning to smoke some ribs this weekend and was wondering how necessary the rib racks are.  They are relatively inexpensive on Amazon, but are they really needed for the ribs to come out ok or can I just use the...

    Thanks for the info!  I ordered the ET-733, it was in my price range and seems to be mostly liked.

    I ordered the Smoke Vault 24".  A little more hands off than charcoal, but not so tethered as electric.

    Which Thermometer?

    Thanks!  The iGrill2 looks great, but after just buying the smoker, I shouldn't spend quite that much.  I'll start off with the Mav and can always change it up down the road. Thanks, Tim

    Which Thermometer?

    Hi All, I'm new here, just getting started.  I just ordered a Smoke Vault 24" and from all the reading I've done, I'd be best to get some sort of different thermometer to use with it as the built in ones just aren't up to par.  Any suggestions on what would be a good fit for this smoker, or can...

    Beginner looking at Masterbuilt 30 vs 40

    I just read a bunch on the Smoke Vault 24 and it appears to be a much better fit for me, thanks for the suggestion.  I'm pricing it out now, but it appears for a first timer it'll be easier to use.

    Beginner looking at Masterbuilt 30 vs 40

    Is the 24" going to be big enough to do a rack of ribs without cutting?

    Beginner looking at Masterbuilt 30 vs 40

    From what I was seeing it appeared people like the Masterbuilt propane.  I was planning to go propane over electric, is there another one in this range I should be looking at?

    Beginner looking at Masterbuilt 30 vs 40

    I found the 40 for cheaper at walmart, going to place an order on that today.  Any suggestions on a thermometer?  It seems the two suggestions most people have had with this one is a digital thermometer and a cast iron skillet to hold the wood chips.

    Beginner looking at Masterbuilt 30 vs 40

    Is the second door not that important then? On Amazon right now the 30 is just under $170 and the 40 is about $250.  I've seen people post about cheaper prices on the 40 so I'm going to look around for that before pulling the trigger.  Thanks!

    Thanks!  I think I decided on propane, I posted in the propane forum as well.  Looking at the Masterbuilt I think.
