    baby backs on sale

    Have to be honest, got the idea from this site. I have smoked with fruit wood but have never tried using juice before. I saw on here how others were using apple juice, I didn't have any juice in the house, just a can of peaches so I opened it and drained the juice on to the ribs. Glad I found...

    Red oak

    Tyler is a long drive for some split wood. There are some local folks who sell split wood around here, including fruit wood but the cheapest wood, red oak, they want $1/stick. You don't want to know what they want for other types of wood. And they often don't know what wood they are selling. I...

    baby backs on sale

    Baby back ribs were on sale at my local grocery this week so I picked up a few packs. Threw a rack on the pit at around 300 for a little over an hour while throwing in some cherry wood chips every twenty minutes (couldn't find cherry wood chunks anywhere.) Then covered in foil after opening a...

    Red oak

    Don't think I won't take you up on that offer MudBug. I mostly use oak as a base and throw the other stuff in for the flavor. I love mixing hickory and mesquite together but it is sometimes hard to get both at the same time here. There are no mesquite trees in the area and not enough dying...

    Red oak

    I just recently acquired some red oak on account a property owner needed the tree removed because it was dead and I needed the wood. Been smoking with it as a base for a week now. Have used it often before as well as white oak. I have a harder time coming across hickory and pecan mainly because...

    if offset smokers are meant to be wood burners, why do we still use charcoal??

    I usually start my pit with kindling and a little newspaper. Often when my kindling gets low I throw in up to 8 pieces of charcoal to ensure I have a few coals in there until the bigger logs can catch. When I do this I use regular natural charcoal. No instant light, lighter fluid, or any other...

    Smoke rising above Houston

    Thank you fellas. Nobounderies, I stay on the other North side of Houston lol. I am a few miles north of the Kingwood area. However, I do work in Spring. I don't know how much learning anyone will get from me here, my method is pretty basic, throw some wood in the fire box and some meat in the...

    Smoke rising above Houston

    I have been checking out these forums for a few weeks now and decided I needed to sign up. I have enjoyed reading many of your ideas, preferences, and advice. I grew up in a small town north of Houston and enjoyed cooking over an open flame as a child. I often camped in my own back yard with a...
