    Looking to retire my MES 40 for a Pellet Grill

    I've been on a 'what's my next smoker' search for about 2 months. Like you lost interest in the WSM - just too fiddly. I have a Weber Performer kettle which actually can meet most of my smoking and grilling needs, not sure why I am not fully satisfied with it. I have a love/hate relationship...

    Masterbuilt 800 wifi and bluetooth question

    I suspect you are correct but Masterbuilt doesn't clarify it very well. I was wondering if it can use either - wifi if it is available or Bluetooth?

    Masterbuilt 800 wifi and bluetooth question

    Fired up my new MGS 800 today and got the app connected while performing the factory recommended seasoning process. I think I was able to successfully connect it to my WIFI and my iPhone could see/control the MGS 800, but I also noted it was connected over Bluetooth as well. So was I...

    Which gravity smoker?

    Those cabinet smokers like the Pecos are just much bigger than I need. I’m usually cooking a single packer, chicken or rack of ribs. The Masterbuilt 800 seems the right size. I just don’t know if there are similar/comparable models out there. I did just learn of the Char-griller and it seems to...

    Which gravity smoker?

    I don’t need or want a high end unit, but also dont want something cheap. What is something worth considering a step above the Masterbuilt gravity units?

    Which gravity smoker?

    I have always preferred a charcoal style smoker but have been using my pellet smoker more and more these past couple years and my WSM less and less. Now I’m just learning about these gravity fed smokers and thinking of getting one. Initially I’m looking at a Masterbuilt 800 but curious if there...

    Gravity 800 temperature

    Have you had any other responses from their support or any other interactions with them? I’m consider a 800 model and curious how their support is given the smoker only has a 1 year warranty?

    Advice for 1st time beef cheek cook tomorrow?

    I have some beef cheeks I plan to smoke tomorrow to make tacos that evening. How long should I smoke them before putting in a braise for the rest of the cook? I was thinking of something like 200 degrees for 3 hours or so to get some smoke on them, then braise at 250 for about 5 hours. Sound...

    What's a step up from Campchef/Traeger level? Time to upgrade

    In 2.5 years I've had nothing but problems from my Campchef...too many failed parts and now it's starting to rust away. I consider Campchef and Traeger and others in that price range to be entry level big-box store products designed for casual users. I smoke enough that I want to now buy a step...

    How are spareribs diferent than babybacks?

    Yes, I do need to start buying the individual packs of ribs. My Costco sells them only in 3-packs and I can't really tell how well they cut. All the other stores in town sell individual packs but they are the 'enhanced' version with added liquid.

    How are spareribs diferent than babybacks?

    I misjudged the time so ate the thinner ones last night after 5 hours, including 1.5 wrapped. They had more chew than they should have. I put the thicker end back in the oven wrapped for another 1.5 hours which made them more tender. Next time I'll just have to plan to cook longer.

    How are spareribs diferent than babybacks?

    I've always smoked babybacks and have that pretty much down. I thought I'd try some spareribs and bought a package of St. Louis cut from Costco. I think I got a funky batch so can't tell if my first attempt is representative of St. Louis cut. My rack was uneven... thin for about half the rack...

    Where to buy beef ribs online?

    It may or it may not. I'd still like to have some options. The one's I get here are often thin, lacking meat. I'd be willing to pay more in some cases depending upon what I might get for my money.

    Where to buy beef ribs online?

    My Costco doesn't carry them and the only grocery store in town that carries them wants 8.99/lb. I'd be interested in any online sources to order them. Thanks

    New Camp Chef WoodWind

    I would use the Camp Chef Smoker Smokers group on Facebook for advice - they get more traffic specific to Camp Chef than here. Sadly you have changed seemingly everything related to the combustion process. I too replaced all that crap but in the end switching to Lumberjack pellets helped mine...

    Will a Lang offset run like a WSM using charcoal?

    I’ve used a Weber WSM for years and like how I can usually get a brisket or butts done using one load of charcoal. I’m interested in a new smoker like a Lang 36” offset patio cooker or maybe a Meadow Creek SQ36 offset. I want something where I can lift open the lid and have the meat on a shelf...

    Smoker modified and ready to season!

    Are you going to run it as a stick burner or a charcoal burner?

    Where can I order both Heaven Made Products and Meat Church rubs?

    You got me Sonny. I meant one place selling both so I can place one order (and maybe find some other stuff)
