    Hammering out the Thanksgiving menu.

    some time ago PGSmoker64 said: "I smoke sweet potatoes all the time and find that the best way to get the smoke flavor is to cut them in half and put them in the smoker at 225* for about 2 to 3 hours (til they are nice and soft), then take them out and add your choice of seasonings." Since...

    Hibachi?

    if you are a stick / charcoal burner, it'd be a nice thing to have off to the side with a a chimney full of briquets sitting on it turning grey, and using them when you need to add some more heat to the smoker.

    Short Ribs - how to smoke?

    Ran the short ribs with the chuck roasts, the short ribs turned out to be about 2" x 2" bone in blocks of meat. I gave a two hour lead time to the chuck roasts, probes in the roasts, at 230 - 240 degrees, after about the 7 hour mark the roasts hit 180 degrees, and I pulled them out, moved the...

Jeff had a...
