    Venison Roast

    I have a venison roast sitting around (last of this past years stock!) and I'm wondering what I should do with it.  Originally it was aimed for jerky since its super lean and my jerky always is in high demand.  However, I'm wondering if there's something I can do to push my skills forward. I...

    AMNPS Staying Lit

    I'll try cracking the lid.  I had to return my first smoker because the plug shorted out and this 2nd one I have doesn't actually fit together as nicely (odd because the first one was perfect) and it seems to play nicer with the AMNPS.  I'll keep experimenting and let you know whats up, if not...

    AMNPS Staying Lit

    Its not "sealed" but the bottom pan is held tightly to the pan holding the element which is held tightly to the body of the smoker via clasps

    AMNPS Staying Lit

    I'll try the air pump idea since my smoker doesn't really have any intakes (its electric).  Thanks for the help

    AMNPS Staying Lit

    I don't have vents in mine, and if I open the one door any amount I feel like most of the smoke would just escape.  Also I have bricks in my water pan to raise up the AMNPS to the lip of the pan. Frustrating

    AMNPS Staying Lit

    I don't know exactly where I should have put this thread so here we go. I bought an AMNPS a while back and did a couple smokes with it just fine by following the basic lighting instructions.  Then I went to smoke some bacon and I was having trouble cold smoking and then tried to hot smoke with...

    Buckboard Color Question

    How much meat am I allowed to put in the brine?  As long as all the meat is surrounded?  5lbs? 10 lbs?

    Price/Nomenclature Check?

    I'm going to need to return and pick up some ribs at least and double check those briskets.  I've been wanting to make brisket for a long time and haven't had the chance

    Price/Nomenclature Check?

    I didn't get a good look at the brisket because of how large they were. Thanks for the info though!

    Favorite Beer

    I love any Oktoberfest beer. I go out and buy a couple cases whenever it comes into stores.  Either Lienenkuegels or Sam Adams or Magic Hats. My next favorites are ambers, reds and a decent ale like Sam Adams. I remember when I was a kid (Sorry nostalgia hitting me) and I'd see programs or...

    Price/Nomenclature Check?

    I went to a local butcher today to see what they had and how the prices were.  Let me know if any of these are decent because I like their quality of meat and I also love supporting local small businesses. 3.79/lb for a "whole trimmed brisket".  Now these were huge, most were well over 50 bucks...

    Clarkston Woodshop

    I didn't see any wood piles other than for decoration inside the restaurant (We at outside actually).  I dunno, the whole operation as far as bbq goes was suspect.  The ribs were probably steamed in some fashion and I still don't know what that goop on the brisket was.

    Clarkston Woodshop

    Yeah, I told one of my friends who is into food as much as I am that I didn't like the Woodshop and he was taken aback.  Then I reminded him about the pulled pork I fed him not too long ago and he suddenly understood my "snobbery"

    Clarkston Woodshop

    Any of you live near Clarkston, MI? I went there last night with my girlfriend because there's a pair of restaurants owned by the same company/people and we had already tried one (a bar/pub place with really good food and something like 30 beers on tap with a ton more bottled) so we decided to...

    Upgrade

    I currently have a Vertical Electric Kettle model of smoker and I'm looking for an inexpensive (under 200) upgrade.  The problem is that I keep coming up with ideas for parties for friends (Asked to make bbq) but I'm unable to do it because of limited space.  I was looking at the horizontal...

    Pork butt problem

    Pulled pork is more about internal temperature, less about cooking time. Typically (if I recall correctly) the pork is brought up to about 185 then wrapped in foil with some sort of liquid to braise the meat and then brought to 210ish.  (I'm sure someone else will correct my temps if I'm wrong)...
