    lol, yeah. she loved'em. Even the picky eater teenage girl that lives here and spends all my money liked them. I gotta keep this up and maybe they'll let me buy the $100 dollar thermometer I want.

    First smoke on new smoker

    Oh yeah I also learned to just be patient with the fire and the temp. Let it do its thing instead of keep screwing wth it trying to make it stay at an exact temp. It's a lot like brewing beer. In the homebrew world there is a saying, RDWHAHB. It means relax, don't worry, have a home brew. So in...

    First smoke on new smoker

    Yup, today I claim victory over the smoker. Thy were phenomenal. I learned a lot today about the smoker and how to feed it and manage the fire box. By the way even though that tab is on the outside of the firebox it gets really hot. I think the only two things I'll do different is not buy wood...

    First smoke on new smoker

    Just pulled them off with the beans and the sausage all done in the smoker and I think I've made a masterpiece. Verdict to come after we eat but I have a feeling I won't get any complaints.

    First smoke on new smoker

    First smoke on new smoker

    So I decided to do ribs instead of the pork butt I got. It's supposed to be raining so that's why I opted for the shorter cook. So far I guess everything is going well. It's smells good anyhow. My concern is that my smoker wants to stay up around 300 instead of where I wanted to be (225-260). I...
