    Running Too Hot

    I abandoned that experiment before someone got hurt. It was to try low temp fish smoking, but I found this as a non-explosive way to do it.

    Running Too Hot

    I converted a WSM to propane and I tried putting screws in holes to reduce btu's for low temps but it really didn't work. I started with every other hole and then every third hole, but it must've disrupted the gas flow because it would go out regularly. And I had a mini daveomak experience...

    First time bringing pork, not sure how much salt I need

    I’m smoking this rack of pork this weekend using civilsmoker’s thread as a guide https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/big-bald-bbq-rubbed-rack-of-pork.292977/ This pork already has some salt in it, so I don’t want to over do it. Also, all I have is iodized sea salt (not sure if I could...

    Char-broil bullet vs Weber smokey mountain

    I have an 18, and the few times I’ve smoked packers made me wish I had the 22, the ends are at the edge and get too burnt. Racks of ribs get that way too but I hang them now.

    DIY Tandoor Oven

    I don’t think it was getting enough heat. The plate drilled with holes probably wasn’t letting enough air flow underneath and maybe didn’t hold enough charcoal. This basket holds a bunch. I also have a stove grate from an old gas grill under it and now it really cooks. I ended up bending the...

    Chuck with SPOG, on mesquite

    It didn’t shred easily so I guess it could’ve gone longer, but it made great sandwiches.

    Chuck with SPOG, on mesquite

    Went all mesquite this time (usually mix with oak) , cranked the smoker up all the way to get it burning, white smoke gone in a half hour. The mesquite’s burning nice and the temp is stable at 250.

    When is the best time to start smoking a beef brisket?

    From my limited experience, if you have a firm time, give yourself an extra few hours. If you properly wrap it in a towel and then into a cooler it can sit in there for hours.

    First time hanging a rack of spare ribs, with a hanger I made from my wsm18’s charcoal ring

    Thx all, these were my best ribs ever, wish I made more. I can thank the forum for helping me realize probing for tenderness is the key to knowing when to pull meat from heat. A few years ago I would’ve pulled them off the smoker at post #5, and they would’ve been “good but not great”.

    First time hanging a rack of spare ribs, with a hanger I made from my wsm18’s charcoal ring

    After a little more than six hours, wow these were great. Brushed some sauce on and turned up the heat for the last half hour.

    It's been about 5 1/2 hours and I just checked them, 187 internal temp and not probe tender.
