    First Cook on my new to me PK Grill

    I bought my PK Classic last fall and I have used it almost every single day since. Really like that little rascal.

    Need some tips for smoking beef and pork at the same time

    I think back ribs take around the same time you mentioned for spares. If they start getting too dark you can wrap them with some liquid. Probe tender test will let you know when they are ready though.

    Chili-Coffee Rubbed Tri Tip

    I recently got a set of rubs in the mail and one of them was a coffee/chile rub. Good stuff, if anyone doesn't want to make their own I would suggest giving Albukirky rubs a look.

    in need of a new smoker

    To be fair the user reviews seem great. The issue that Amazingribs took issue with was a metal plate that burns through near the insulation. Masterbuilt released a statement saying that this was on purpose and the metal was only put there to protect the firebrick during shipping. People that...

    in need of a new smoker

    I would also suggest you look into the Pit Barrel Cooker. Very popular unit and easy to use.

    If you had a clean sheet of paper ...

    1. PK Grill. I got the PKTX about 8 months ago and I have used that little booger almost daily since. 2. Hunsaker Drum. I got that a little over a year ago and it is a very easy to use and high quality smoker. Only wish I would have spent the extra do-re-mi to get the stainless steel version...

    Weber Kettle or ProQ Frontier for Occasional Smoking

    Since you are mostly grilling I would go with the kettle for sure. It is a great grill and can smoke just fine too.

    Looking for a pellet smoker

    Although I am not looking to purchase any pellet grills I have read a bunch about them. People seem to love Rec Tec. There have long been complaints about the paint on the Yoders. If I were going to spend what it costs to get the Yoder on the comp cart I would probably go with a MAK instead.

    New Pit Boss 5 vertical smoker

    Have you tried cooking on it stock? I understand that temp swings can be unnerving because I felt the same way at one point. Then I was doing a large cook at someone else's house and had to throw a wrapped pork butt in a kitchen oven to finish. I left the probe in the butt until it was done and...

    vertical vs horizontal

    I bought the PB Copperhead 5 on clearance from Walmart for $109. If it did crap out on me I wouldn't have been upset considering the price. It has worked fine, but I could probably use it more often. Really like the capacity for jerky

    vertical vs horizontal

    I could fit multiple full packer briskets on my Pit Boss Copperhead 5

    vertical vs horizontal

    I have a Pit Boss cabinet and I like it. As others have said it would not function well as a grill, but I have grills that I use for grilling.

    Huge temperature fluctuations in my masterbuilt propane smoker

    I started with propane smokers and like you I was constantly making adjustments. I got a needle valve and it did help. I eventually learned two things. There is no need to freak out about reasonable temp swings, typical ovens swing 30 degrees in either direction. I also learned that propane...

    UDS build stainless steel drum

    I know I have mentioned Hunsaker already, I don't have any investment in them other than being a customer. I would suggest giving them a call with a question like this. When you call the number there is a very good chance that you will be on the phone with the owner of the company. That dude is...

    UDS build stainless steel drum

    You might consider checking out the Hunsaker website if you are needing supplies to finish your build. They sell SS kits and parts. Good people to do business with too.
