My family isn't big on rare or medium-rare meat. We like ours medium or medium-well.
I'm going to smoke a prime rib (or standing rib roast) tomorrow. What internal temp should I shoot for to have the meat come out medium? I'm hoping that after it rests awhile, the slices from the outer portions...
I have a WSM 18.5. I sometimes smoke brisket in LONG overnight smokes -- like starting at midnight and going 14 hours at 225. It occurred to me that during the first part of the smoke, when I'm asleep, once the wood chunks burn off there's no "thin blue smoke" until I wake up in the morning and...
Reviving an old thread...
I used a Turkey Cannon yesterday on a 12.5 lb bird. The smoker temp was 275. After about 2.5 hours, the breast was 160-ish and the thigh 170-ish....at least that's what I thought. When I carved the bird after letting it rest for about 90 minutes, the wing and drumstick...
I think I'm going to fire-up the smoker at noon, with the intent to have the bird smoking before 1:00. That will give me 5 hours. I'm using a "Turkey Cannon," and they're reputed to speed-up cooking time. As you said, if it's done early I'll wrap and keep it warm. My only concern is that if I...
Pit: The recipe I'm using calls for 275. At that temp, what would your guess be to get a 12.5 lb bird to 160 in the breast and 170 in the thigh?
Thanks!
I'm doing a Thanksgiving "test run" on Tuesday. I'm trying to decide what time to put the bird into the smoker to have it ready to serve by 6:00. The bird is 12.5 lbs.
I'm going to be smoking at about 275°. Even though I'm going to go by breast and thigh temperature, is there a...
Thermometer in the WSM dome is notoriously inaccurate. Try getting a Maverick or other similar thermometer that will monitor both the smoker temp at the grill as well as the internal temp of the meat.
I've had my dome thermometer be as close as 10 degrees to the Maverick, and as far away as 50...

I don't remember how long I had it in the smoker, but the smoker temp was 275° +/-. I removed tbe bird when the breast temp was about 155°. I let it rest until the breast got to 140°. Then I popped it under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
Well, the chicken came out of the smoker with not-so-crispy skin. I put it in a foil pan, covered it with foil, and let it rest for about 30 minutes. Then I put it under the broiler for just a couple of minutes, and the skin just shriveled up and basically disappeared. The chicken itself was...
You're not disagreeable at all. I'm grateful for your comments.
So are you suggesting I put it in a foil pan or a dish and put a foil tent over it...and not wrap the foil around it tightly?
Makes perfect sense! I'll foil it, wrap it in a towel, and put it in an Igloo cooler for 30 minutes or so (or longer, if necessary to bring the temp down). Then I'll either pop it under the broiler or put it on the grill at high heat. Likely it will go under the broiler...
Thanks so much for...
