    Help me pick my birthday present - a new charcoal smoker!

    Gentlemen (and ladies!) My birthday (and spring along with it!) is fast approaching and my wife has approved funding for a new charcoal smoker. My cheap red electric smoker has been fun, but it is time to upgrade. I prefer to use charcoal for grilling and have been considering a charcoal...

    found tri tip is SE Michigan!

    Oh, yes it was not cheap. $7.99 a pound, ouch. All the stories about $4 a pound tri tip in California sounds great! Smoking two tri tip roasts tomorrow afternoon!

    found tri tip is SE Michigan!

    I've been hearing about how delicious tri tip is on this forum and figured I'd call around and see if anyone had it. I live near Royal Oak, none of the local grocery stores had it including Costco. I finally found it at RJ's down in Detroit right next to Eastern Market. If you've never been to...

    Need Help with Purchase - Please

    Don't know anything about the MES line, so I'll leave that one for someone else. Chicken definitely comes out with much crispier skin at higher smoking temps (275). 225 kinda turns the skin to rubber. Generally, I'll smoke it at higher temps at the very least and sometimes I'll even toss the...

    10 racks of Spare Ribs

    10 racks of ribs for your first time? Man, slow down a bit, lol. That's a lot of meat/money if you mess something up! 3 hours in the smoker, 2 hours wrapped in foil with some apple juice, 1 hour back on the smoker unwrapped again. Should be good to go. Ensure you are measuring the temp on the...

    3-2-1 vs 2-2-1 method when smoking ribs

    3-2-1 is typically used for spare ribs, while 2-2-1 is used for baby back ribs. If you're doing 3-2-1 for baby back ribs, they may be a bit tougher. For my personal preferences, I want mine to sorta fall off the bone, so the last hour where they are back on the grates bare, I shorten it to 30...

    Whatcha Smokin Today?

    I'll start! Sunday we had a family get together and I smoked some ribs. Mmm, ribs... I used Bilbos rub and sauce (I modified the sauce just a bit) and smoked 4 racks of spares on the WSM. It was delicious!

    Whatcha Smokin Today?

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is a thread meant to last until a) the internet shuts down when the zombies invade or b) Jeff Phillips decides to unplug the servers! So what are you smoking today? As always, don't forget the q-view or prepare to face the consequences!

    3rd smoke ever...1st tri-tip

    Just a small correction, but taking beef off at 145 is going to give you medium-well temperatures (as you said, a little over done). The meat is going to continue to cook slightly and the internal temperature is going to continue to rise a bit. Generally, people will pull their meat 5-10 degrees...

    Am I the only on who doesn't care for brisket that much?

    I've been wanting to smoke a brisket lately but also can't seem to find any for less than $6 a pound. I just find it crazy for that cut of meat.
