    Beer can chicken x2 with Qview

    Nice cook and smoker. I never thought of putting sides in a pan with the chicken, I'll have to borrow that idea. LOL. What size cooker is that? Looks like you can put a whole farm yard of chickens in there.

    smoking a whole hog

    Congrats to grandma. I have only done a couple of hogs so I am sure others with more experience will chime in. (Also, if you want more responses, move this out of the "Grilling Pork" section) 1. maintain consistent temp (225-250) 2. Inject the hams and shoulders with a simple solution (apple...

    PLANNING A SMOKE DAY NEXT SATURDAY NEED HELP AND ADVICE

    I have injected (1 cup apple juice, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup rub) and it was good. My best results have come from smoking it without injecting. Just leave a little more fat on and monitor your temps. Also, for a really good flavor "injection" I marinate the brisket in 100% Dr. Pepper for a night...

    Looking to purchase a trailer pit - suggestions please

    Beef Brisket

    OldSchool, I notice you smoke your briskets fat cap up and uncut. Does that help with the moistness? I am doing a couple this weekend and was planning on using the same technique except I was going to put the briskets in disposable pans for the entire cook.

    Piling ribs - what is the effect?

    Thanks for the heads up. I am going to have my builder make a rib rack for me. If I make enough catering this summer, I'm having a 250 built. LOL

    Piling ribs - what is the effect?

    I have a 120 gallon reverse flow and have been asked to do a few events. In order to increase the capacity I am considering "piling" the ribs in, kind of overlapping them. Not stacking. Like playing card but a little overlap. How will this effect the final prduct? I think I may lose some bark...

    To my Lang, Bubba and other reverse flow Brethren, What has been your success with a charcoal basket? I have one made for the Hog coffin but have yet to use it. I'm going to give it a run this weekend but wanted to know if there were any tips/tricks I should be mindful of before getting into...
