    Oh and I actually had one more question. When you smoke your turkeys do you guys baste it at all? Or do you just leave it in there and not touch it?

    post T-day questions

    Hey everyone I smoked my first turkey today for a get together that I had with my friends and though my friends said that it was good and juicy, I was not satisfied! Well, I was mainly not satisfied because the skin looked like it was burnt. But I was following the internal temp the whole time...

    First Turkey Help

    would going low and slow like at 220-230 benefit the turkey in anyway though? Or is it altogether pointless?  Also, when you say that the turkey was ready in around 4-4.5 hours is that including some resting time in aluminum foil or no? I have one more question actually, I know that in ribs and...

    stuffing turkey

    thanks for all the quick responses! This will be my first year making turkey. Well my family is ordering a precooked one and then just oven roasting it. But a few days after I'm going to smoke one with my friends so that I can compare them. I am hoping to notice a big difference

    question about maverick et-73

    So I recently bought this thermometer and so far I've only used it once. But when I do use it, I use one probe to for the temp of the smoker and the other for the temp of the meat. But the remote keeps beeping because of the temp of the probe thats in the smoker. I've tried switching to the...

    stuffing turkey

    ooo thank you. But how come the turkey is so often stuffed when it's oven roasted? Is it because in the oven, the turkey is heated at a higher temp?

    stuffing turkey

    So thanksgiving is coming up and I plan on smoking my first turkey. A few questions though. I always thought that making turkey would take the whole day but I've been reading on this site that it takes approximately 6 hours?(for a 12-15 pound turkey). Is that right? Also, what difference does it...

    adding charcoal to fire

    hmmm wouldn't that mean that using the minion method is not a good idea as well? Since it'll have the "start up" smoke from the charcoal

    adding charcoal to fire

    Hey all I have a question. When adding more charcoal to the smoker, do they need to be lit and left to burn a little bit in the chimney starter or can I just add it directly (unlit) to the fire?

    temperature control for overnight pulled pork

    Hi all I need some help with temperature control. I want to make some boston butt overnight but I don't think I am skilled enough yet to leave something in the smoker over night. I have a charcoal smoker so I find that it'd be difficult. I've already heard of the minion method but would that be...

    spare rib question

    Hey all I know that when one does the St. Louis style spare ribs, one cuts off a lot of the meat and just cooks it and eats it as a snack. But is it okay to just put it in the smoker the way it is? Will that affect the tenderness/flavor of the ribs in a bad way?

    trimming spareribs St.Louis Style

    great post~ one question though, when I tried trimming my own and cooking the skirt and the rib tips as well, they turned out pretty tough and not pleasant to eat...is there a reason for that? I took them out earlier than the ribs but they still turned out tough
