    Oh the weather outside is frightful

    It's snowing even harder now, almost can't see the smoker from the deck.  Does this count as "cold smoking"?

    Oh the weather outside is frightful

    But the pork butt is so delightful And since my upright is full Let it smoke! Let it smoke! Let it smoke! Helluva day in MN today.  Gotta be about 8 - 10 inches so far, doesn't look like it's stopping anytime soon.  If I'm gonna be outside shoveling all day, might as well have some smoke rolling!

    Help, ribs are burning, Brinkmann Upright Propane

    Sure thing.  Basically, cook the corn.  This time I roasted it in the oven (preheated to 400, smeared butter on the corn, salted, peppered and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes). (this is for about 4 - 6 ears) 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 + 1/2 cups Queso Fresco, crumbled or Cotija or Parmesan...

    Help, ribs are burning, Brinkmann Upright Propane

    I found some comments about plugging some of the gas/flame holes in the burner to help keep the heat down.  I think I'll do that, hopefully before the weekend.  Probably use some small brass screws to plug some of the holes, that way it's reversible.  When I get the mod done, I'll start a new...

    Help, ribs are burning, Brinkmann Upright Propane

    Yeah, thanks to everyone's advice, and a lot more babysitting of them than I planned, they came out pretty good.  Pretty sure if this forum weren't available, I would have completely torched them!

    Thanks for the welcome everyone!  I've been cruising the smoking-meat.com site pretty much since I started smoking (12/2011), but have finally posted in the forums.  Looking forward to having some fun.

    Help, ribs are burning, Brinkmann Upright Propane

    Sorry I didn't reply sooner.  They turned out pretty good (pic below).  Not my best, but my wife and boys loved them, so it all worked out.  Went down good with a cold beer and some Mexican Street corn.  Required a LOT of babysitting, constantly opening the doors,  putting ice in the drip pan...

    Help, ribs are burning, Brinkmann Upright Propane

    Thanks!  In Minnesota, in what (we consider) a heatwave.  I've been adding some ice, and opening the door a lot more than I thought I would, but keeping it between 250 and 300.  i hope they come out okay. I think i'll be ordering that needle valve kit from Amazon, is this the complete kit, I...

    Minnesota smoker wanna-be

    Hey Everyone! New to smoking (and cooking in general) in the middle of Minnesota.  Got a smoker (brinkmann upright gas) around December 2011, been smoking most weekends ever since.  I've done mostly butts, loins, ribs, chickens, and turkey.  Usually, they come out pretty good.  I subscribe to...

    Help, ribs are burning, Brinkmann Upright Propane

    Thanks guys.  I'll roll call when I get this under control.  Moved it to the shadiest (and most bug infested) part of the yard, pulled the top chimney completely off.  Sitting at 292.  Gonna drop some ice in the water pan and crack the door a bit.  I'm wondering it the issue has to do with...

    Help, ribs are burning, Brinkmann Upright Propane

    Hello Davidhef88, Thanks for the reply.  It is this one: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=202650720 Has a little chimney vent on the top that is wide open.  Not sure what to do here.  I think maybe I'll try pulling the chimney vent off altogether....

    Help, ribs are burning, Brinkmann Upright Propane

    Seems like the last several times I've used this, I can't get the temp down.  Right now, I've got the smoker turned all the way down, the gas tank just barely cracked the tiniest bit open, flame so small that the wood isn't even smoking.  I have 2 external digital therms in there right now, both...
