    Smoker problem

    You guys are geniouses!!!! I had no idea that opening the tank first with the smoker turned off made a difference. I went out and closed the tank, turned off the smoker, opened the tank, opened the smoker and it looks like the flame is twice the size!!!! I'll keep my eye on it but it looks like...

    Smoker problem

    I'm in Houston Texas, it's in the upper 50's, no wind, nice day. It has been about 4 months since I used the smoker last though. I know what your saying about tapping the regular, I did it once very softly, wont do it again. If I need to buy a new regulator are they fairly universal? there is a...

    Picnik Butt

    Smokebuzz, When you say to remove the skin, do you mean that I should remove the large piece of fat/skin that covers the one whole side before I smoke it? I was under the impression I should leave it on. I have read that it's good to place the picnic in the smoker fat side up so the juices drip...

    Last weekend I made my first brisket on the smoker. I had about an 11 pounder which I cut in half. I adjusted the temp to 230, rubbed the brisket with Jeff's rub recipe (most yummy), inserted the temp probe and off I went. I started smoking it at 10:30am. After the meat temp reached 170 I...

    I'm getting ready to smoke some ribs but the more I look at the racks in the smoker the more unsure I am that I can actually lay out a full rack. I read in this thread (page 2) that Virgo53 said he hung 2 full racks of ribs from the hooks on top of the smoker. Is there a trick to doing that? I'm...

    Devolutionist- I did do a pre heat and added the chips once the smoker reached 250F, I like the idea of mixing wet and dry, I will definitely be trying that. Hmmmmm, I can see the wood chips in the freeze....not sure on the fishing bands though but to each their own

    BTW, I did purchase one of those thermometers with the cable on it to monitor the meats internal temp like so many people suggested and it worked out perfectly, I dont think I will ever do any smoking without it. I'm going to do some ribs real soon, probably baby back's and will try using the...

    WOW!!! It all came out great, my 8 year old said it was the best chicken I ever made for her. The corn that I left in the husk came out ok but I rubbed one ear down with a little evoo, sprinkled some seasoning on it, wrapped it loosely in alum foil and that one came out great after about 1 1/2...

    Thanks for the advice, the gap looks fairly small so I think I'll give it a shot and see what happens. I have heard a couple times now about using the 3-2-1 meathod for ribs. I've looked around the site but cant find any info on it. Does anyone where it is? thanks again.
