    First Brisket smoke.

    It looks great. You can also use less of the rub next time. Or just modify the rub to bring down the sodium content.

    Affect of water on temp

    Humidity may make a human feel warmer, but it does not fool an instrument. A thermometer will read temperature and a hygrometer will read relative humidity.

    Brisket Rub

    Greetings! I am pretty new here myself.......... Some people will throw in rubs suggestions with brown sugar and all, but I personally do not throw in any sweetening agents in beef. For me, beef is best left simple, coarse sea salt, cracked black pepper and maybe garlic powder. If you want...

    Sliced pork?

    I am not really fond of pulled pork. So the pork butts that I smoke, I take to 175, wrap and let rest. Comes out perfect.........tender, juicy and doesn't really need that much BBQ sauce.

    Best Propane Smoker Under $200ish?

    The Big Block is much wider.............something like 24 inches wide (inside width) and can fit a full packer. The smaller version is about 16 inches wide. I'd spend the extra money for the Big Block.

    HELP...Used Propane Smoker

    Looks nice. For that price, you can get a GOSM Big Block delivered to your doorsteps. If the dimensions are similar to the Big Block, then I think you have a pretty good deal there.

    Beef Ribs

    +1 on determining if they are short ribs or back ribs. Short Ribs have much more meat on them (about the thickness of a steak). another +1 on the 3-2-1 method. Depending on the beef, you may be able to get away with 3-1-1 or 2-2-1. Enjoy them.........those are awesome!

    My wife bought me beef back ribs instead of baby back ribs!

    The process will be pretty much the same. Beef Back ribs will have a much thicker membrane than Pork Spare ribs so you might have to fight it a little bit to get it off the ribs. As far as recipes are concerned, I really am not fond of using brown sugar on the rub for beef ribs, but I use it...

    New Smoker.. First Que.. with Q-View

    They all look fine to me. As far as the grease fire is concerned, one scenario that I can think of for such a fire in your chamber to occur is that the wood in the chip/chunk box ignited which, in turn, lit up the grease. The burner and the opening around the burner is designed well enough to...

    I cooked myself... [Qview]

    OUCH!! I never really liked lighter fluids and suggest that those here who use charcoal look into a chimney starter instead.......one of the best tools you can invest on. I hope you heal up really quick.......burns suck!

    Will This Drum Work For an UDS?

    Ethylene Glycol boiling point is 387-deg F Propylene Glycol Boiling point is 370-deg F So..........burn the heck out of that drum and the antifreeze will boil away.

    Will This Drum Work For an UDS?

    Although it will be best to get a drum that was food grade, I do not see the inherent danger in using this particular one for a UDS project. Like AK1 mentions, you would have to add a few steps in prepping the drum before you use it. Rinse the heck out of it. Warm water, dishwashing soap, and...

    Big Block GOSM is on its way

    Chips should be fine, chunks are tougher to fit in the box. Try drizzling some olive oil on your meats.
