    First large smoke

    The smoker will do fine, its you im concerned about . I have run mine 24 hours straight 2 and a half rings of charcoal and a day and a half later I was exhausted. But the end results were well worth it. Have you thought about doing the ribs last and getting a head start on the shoulders first? I...

    Anyone do Overnight Smokes?

    Dont worry about it man you got this! your smoker looks well enough seasoned to go out on a limb and assume you know it pretty well at this point. Just use your best judgement and everything will turn out A-OK! The one thing I will warn you about over night smokes, and this really applies more...

    Anyone do Overnight Smokes?

    Take this advice with a big grain of salt and use you best judgement as I am unfamiliar with your smoker! With that said It is definitely easier to start will less pre-lit coals and add more if you need it than to try and cool down a hot fire. I would say fill the firebox with mostly unlit...

    First large smoke

    holy smokes! (no pun intended) that is A LOT of the meat to run through an 18.5"... How big are your shoulders? The ones my butcher has are usually 8-12lbs and I would say fitting 2 comfortably on a rack is about the limit. How many rounds do you think it will take to smoke all your butts? Mine...

    Pastrami Questions

    For what its worth I have found briskets and pastrami to be much less dependent on a specific internal temperature. Instead I would go to at least 180* and start checking every 30 min to 1 hour using a tooth pick to test for tenderness. Once the toothpick slides in with next to no resistance its...

    what to do with old water?

    just leave it in the smoker a day or two til all the fat solidifies and pull it off as one giant sheet. Then you can dump the water down the drain/garbage disposal without fear of clogs. Does anyone else absolutely HATE the smell of the water/fat pancake that results from your smokes? One of...
