    Backyard BBQ comp advice needed

    Hi all. I have a BBQ competition this Saturday and we are smoking ribs. I’ve never done one before and would like advice on what to do with my ribs if they are ready early. I need to maintain heat as well as appearance. Thanks everyone. jeff

    Messed up brine time. Need advice.

    So I planned to smoke a pork shoulder on Sunday, but momentarily thought today was Saturday and I injected the shoulder, covered it up and put in the fridge. So instead of 12 hrs it will be brining for 36 hrs. Is this going to ruin the meat? I’ve only ever brined overnight. Im having lots of...

    Camp Chef Pro DLX not smoking a lot

    Something is not right with your smoker bud. I have that exact same smoker and smoke is billowing out of mine the entire time. And I am located in Canada and I smoke meats all through the winter with an insulated jacket on the smoker in temps as cold as -20C. I literally dust the snow off it...

    Camp Chef Pro DLX not smoking a lot

    That’s AFTER 3 hours? Yeesh. Does your final product have nice smoke rings throughout? Do you notice smoke coming out the stack? I’m no pro but if your pellets are being burnt and temp maintained I don’t know how there could be no smoke. Maybe some pros will chime in with more experience.

    Started build. Got a few questions.

    Hey all. I’m getting back going with this build. Picked up some Rockwool off a buddy and gonna get that out in ASAP. My next question is this: ive never cut holes in metal before. What’s the best way to do that? Also, how can I attach the chimney to the fridge and keep it looking good? Are there...

    Camp Chef Pro DLX not smoking a lot

    That’s the same unit I have and it works awesome. Is yours maintaining temp? One thing that improves the smoke flavour is to put high temp gasket tape around the lid to seal the chamber. I noticed mine really leaked a lot of smoke before doing this.

    If you could choose one smoker....

    I’m surprised mine didn’t come with an upper grate. There are no rests up there even if I did buy it separate. I’d love to figure out a way to get one in there though. Part of my problem would be solved.

    Looks great. I’m hoping to get my build back on track this winter.

    If you could choose one smoker....

    For instance. This past weekend I hosted a smoke off at my place with a bunch of buddies who enjoy smoking and about 50 people. There were two categories, ribs, and smokers choice. I did 4 racks of baby backs and that took up my entire grill so I couldn’t even enter the other category. And the 4...

    If you could choose one smoker....

    I’m sure this may have been discussed in this site at some point, but I’m curious to see some opinions with all the different types of smokers out there. Which one would you choose and why? I currently have a pellet smoker and really like it, but space is an issuer if smoking for a large get...

    Pork shoulder took forever! Why?

    This is gold. Thank you tallbm.

    Pork shoulder took forever! Why?

    I do take the temp right at the grate. Even tried another thermometer. Hmmmm. Strange. I understand the 1.5 hr is just a guideline, but I’d like to sometimes be able to plan a dinner for when others stop by. Glad that wasn’t this time haha.

    Pork shoulder took forever! Why?

    Hey everyone! This exact situation has happened to me twice in a row now. This past weekend I smoked 2 pork shoulders that were about 3.5 pounds each. Most references say to allow around 1.5 hrs per pound at 225. Well after prepping everything ahead of time, the shoulders went on at about 2pm...

    Should have asked first. Am I going to die now?

    Hi Mark. I replied to you in a different thread I also started. You can see pictures of my build progress in this thread I think. Do you think the insulation looks like fibreglass? I have no experience with insulation at all. All I know is that the pink stuff is fiberglass nowadays haha.

    Started build. Got a few questions.

    Thanks for the reply. I’m trying to get my shit together 100% before drilling holes, etc. Where did you pick up your element? I’ve searched for them but they really vary in price. Not sure what is different about them.

    Started build. Got a few questions.

    I’ve kinda hit a plateau for now. Trying to decide on how I’m gonna do a side mailbox type mod and also decide on an element and PID. I’m not very well versed in those things so I’m doing more reading on my spare time than building. Also, Rock wool is $60 a bail here in Canada and that is much...

    Started build. Got a few questions.

    Thanks for the replies. I know very little about hooking up elements and temp controllers. Any direction on a place I could do some reading to educate myself?
