    brined baby backs

    It was a simple brine of 1/2 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar to 1 gallon of water, added some whole peppercorns to the brined and let the ribs sit in the brine for about 5 hrs.

    Whats easier to maintain temps: hardwood lump or charcoal?

    I usually start out with a larger fire then use my damper to bring it down.  I usually use old blue bag kindsford mixed with wood splits.  It is important to keep the ash raked out of your pit to keep airflow going.

    Lang 84

    6 grand  is alot of cash to drop on a smoker if you are only going to do a few big cooks.  I have a large trailer rig and hardly use it any longer.  I found it was a waste of fuel to fire it up for a few butts or brisket.  I use my patio smoker for much of my smoking, now.  I can still cook for...

    To Cover or Not to Cover, That is the Question

    I had a horizon cover for my last offset it seemed to be well build, and it kept off the rain and snow.  It cost about 50 bucks several years ago and I know it was better than a blue tarp.

    Need Pellet Smoker Info/Advice

    I have the Ys640 and love it.  I have not had a problem of not enough smoke on my food.  In my opinion the smoke should be there to accent the meat not be the predominate note in the flavor profile.  I cannot speak on how it is on direct grilling as i use mine for long cooks of brisket, chicken...

    To Cover or Not to Cover, That is the Question

    I aways covered my old stick burner, but my new one is so big no one makes a cover to fit it.  So it just sits outside in the rain, though it is 1/4 inch steel so no a huge deal.  That being said if I found a cover for a good price that would fit, it would be covered up.  My 640 goes in the shed...

    Smoker purchase advice sought

    You can not go wrong with a horizon, Yoder, Lang ect....all are well built and heavy duty steel.  I have been seeing people cold smoking with the amazing tubes and such..they make smoke but no heat.  I have a 24 inch diameter by 4 ft cooking chamber offset, with the second rack  and it weighs...

    brined baby backs

    well the official results are in..brined ribs win hands down.  The brined ribs had more flavor and seemed to have a better texture.

    A bit of general help with pellet units...........

    well also there are thousands of weber grills out there in America, so lots of incentive to keep parts on hand.

    brined baby backs

    Well today I will start an experiment to see if my pork ribs can be improved by brining them. It has really improved the chicken flavor and moisture.   I will take  slabs and brine 1.5 of them and the others will be not  brined.  All other parts of the cook will be the same.  I really need...

    A bit of general help with pellet units...........

    I still have and use my weber gasser...do not see a time when It will get kicked to the curb.  I have the Yoder..and did not get he direct grill option personally I do not want all that grease in the bottom of my cooker, because to use the grill grates you need to remove the deflection plate, so...

    Just a few questions

    My guess is it is too much smoke...You may want to use some lump along with the wood, make sure that you have thin blue smoke most of the time cooking.  You can also foil, after several hours to help with the dark appearance.  I had the same problem with ribs and chicken...If I was not real...
