Char-Griller pellet smoker
You're right, sometimes there is a cost for a brand but many times that's because the brand stands behind the product or puts some more quality in. It all comes down to personal choice, the major differences, and things to look for, are gauge of steel, quality of steel, controller, customer...- frog1369

thermometer placement
First, make sure your thermometer is accurate with a "boil" test. I, like many others, use a Maverick probe to monitor both chamber and meat temps. Because you don't know exactly where the butt will reach temp first, my method is to best guess the probe placement, once it hits 180 or so I start...- frog1369

Char-Griller pellet smoker
There is almost always good advice in the old adage "you get what you pay for". Now, that's not to say just because you buy a $3,500 Memphis that your food will taste better, but when you're talking quality, longevity, etc., it does make a difference. My grandmother always told me "it's...- frog1369

Jeff's rub and sauce how many *?
I'll help out here, I give both a "10". I also have two more rubs and sauces I give 10, but it depends on the flavor profile I'm looking for. Jeff's is a great place to start, it was my first and I always keep a supply of both sauce and rub on hand. Plus, $20 for all the information you're...- frog1369

Rec Tec vs Yoder YS480
I was on that fence recently and the more I looked at the Yoder 480 the more I realized I wanted the 640. Ironically, I also have a Smoke Vault 24. I did a ton of research, made a lot of calls, asked a lot of owners and honestly, they are all excellent products. Once I narrowed it down to the...- frog1369

Help with ribs - after the cook
I was testing a new pellet pit, 275 on the controller, the probe is left side about halfway between the grate and top. The maverick was clipped just above the grate about two inches from the meat, it showed 230. The maverick has been tested and is accurate. -
Help with ribs - after the cook
I hope I describe this right ....... untrimmed spares, using pretty much a 3-2-1 method, adjusted as I go. First step, beautiful color, bend test the meat is just starting to crack. Second step, into the foil they go. Check at the one hour mark, very tender. Back on unfoiled for about an... -
Electric or Propane
My first advice is do your research and get what you want the first time out. I smoked on a gas grill for years, decided I wanted a dedicated smoker so I got a Smoke Vault 24. I really like the Smoke Vault, easy to use, keeps a pretty steady temp, don't have to tend the fire except to add wood...- frog1369

Oh, I know your dilemma! I had 4 kids and 2 grandkids, then I remarried and now I have 10 kids and 21 grandkids with another on the way. So, we have some rather large family outings, so big hams, turkeys, pork butts, etc. make life easier. I did a lot of research for my smoker also, I looked... -

How do you post to a thread??
Be patient my friend, be patient. If you like smoked meat and all kinds of other goodies, you ARE in the right group. Expect some ribbing on any group, if you can't have some fun doing it, it probably ain't worth doing. Everything these guys said is true, just hit the reply button or scroll... -

Sunday wings
Kinda gloomy today and I had a bag of wings in the freezer, so I thought why not? So, got them thawed out, rubbed half with Memphis magic dust and the other half with Mad Hunky Hot Whang mixed with brown sugar. Into the smoker and now the rest is history, including the wings. They were great... -

We can do that! I have a cheese processor just down the road from the house, we get fresh cheese curd and all kinds of cheeses not only for ourselves but for family in Florida. Let me figure out the PM thing and we'll go from there ...... oh yeah, the ones I like are actually called Sweet Hots. -
