Thank you, Al! So is 200-205 typical for beef? Also, it seemed SO dry, it makes me think cooking it longer would dry it out more. Should I be spritzing it? I did have a water pan filled with water and then the last 50min or so I had it covered with bbq sauce/beef broth in a pan.
Hey there I did buy a ThermoPro thermometer, is this what you mean? Or do you mean a thermometer with multiple probes to monitor the IT and the temp inside the smoker? I've been trying to do research on those but I'm not sure which one to go with - thoughts?
Thank you! I am pretty bummed it wasn't a satisfactory first smoke - but it's all a learning process. I at least learned that I can make it TASTE good lol just need to really work on my temps.
They looked so dry, I was pretty surprised! I never thought of adding Frank's red hot to a spritz - sounds very good. I'll do that for sure. Thanks for the feedback!
Well, I've got some questions for y'all!
I have a char-broil electric. I filled the water pan, started the temp at 225. I did this for about 3hr and opened it to check on the meat. Looked VERY dry so I got two aluminum trays, rubbed bbq sauce all over and poured some beef broth inside, and...
Hey all,
We have a tall, steel gazebo covering our back patio. It does have openings near the top so it will have good air flow. My question is, is using my electric smoker under the gazebo a no-go? Could the smoke cause staining or discoloration?
Very good to know, I was wondering if the high altitude would cause issues. Fingers crossed it doesn't lol I'm just getting my first smoker this coming week. Excited to start!
Alrighty folks, opinions are most welcome.
Smoking in the high altitude, dry climate of Colorado - what are some tips that may help? Any troubles y'all have faced living in high altitude areas?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
That's what I'm excited to learn - what my family and I all love/prefer. I do prefer fall off the bone type ribs myself. Here in Colorado Springs, we have little to NO bbq joints besides chain restaurants. Makes my heart sad
A fellow Coloradoan! What part? I'm in the Springs. I have faced the many difficulties of high-altitude cooking, quite the learning curve for some foods lol
