    Massive brisket advice.

    Yeah, I usually run lo at first for better smoke profile, but second guessing it and maybe starting higher 225-250 with a few smoke tubes and 8am start.

    Massive brisket advice.

    I will start by sayin I’ve probably done 25+ packers and am by no means an expert. I have a 21.91lb prime packer from Sam’s in the feezer. I’m probably gonna smoke it for my pastor and his family for Christmas Day. I know this will take much longer than any brisket I’ve ever done, so any advice...

    Another smoked turkey question.

    First time trying to smoke a turkey this year. Smallest one I could find was 14lb. I was thinking of throwing it in the rec tec with a tube at 180 or 200 for an hour or two for better smoke profile, and then crank it up (325-350?) for the rest if the cook to get a crispier skin. Will it be safe...

    So you want Wagyu ?

    I have only had SRF and it is phenomenal. Their gold grade is BMS9+ which from what I know (I’m not an expert) is the highest grade of American raised beef you can get. The Black is good too with a BMS of 5-8. There is a place in Florida called The Butcher Shoppe that sells A9 Wagyu which is...

    What is your favorite Lumberjack Pellet flavor for all meats - if you had to choose one??

    I use a a few different ones. I love the mesquite blend if I’m doing beef only, if I throw some pork or anything else in with beef I use hickory, and sometimes the comp blend. Also I pretty much use a tube every time.

    Pulled pork chili ideas

    Yeah I thought about smoking it to ~190 where you can still “pull” it but keep bigger chunks. Also if time allows I would smoke the pork before, pull/chop then refrigerate. Cubing then smoking is an idea too, and sure it would go faster. Would probably put in a pan after a few hours to keep it...

    Pulled pork chili ideas

    My church is having a chili cook off next month and I’m looking for ideas for a chili using smoked pulled pork. I googled and saw all the variations - red, white, verde. I won the last one I entered a few years ago with a “traditional” red chili, so not sure if I should follow that and just...

    Rib Help

    ^^^defiantly what Al said. Everyone has their preferred method and just have to experiment and document. I felt the same way with BB ribs when I started smoking, and now I feel I have a great method that works for me starting with dry brine for 2hrs, then season, smoke, spritz with AJ every so...

    First try at smoked queso

    I did not smoke the sausage or chorizo first, just cooked in pan, drained and added. Not sure if it freezes well. I do have a bit left because it did make A LOT, so maybe best to scale back. I will try freezing some and see how it turns out.

    Lumber Jack Pellets

    I get mine from rural king as well. The nearest one from me is 1hr away and I occasionally work over there, so it’s easy for me to get. They carry the flavors I use the most. I have heard Dicks will price match and ship for free, but not sure if it has to be a local store in close proximity...

    Vacation Q

    The recipe is always slightly different every time I make it (always evolving, and gotta mix it up) I found one online as a base to start and wildly modified it. It’s got some texture to it with the apple sauce, but this is close to the measurements. 1.5 cup ketchup 3/4 c apple sauce 2 tbsp...
