    Smoking in Glendale

    Hey there fellow 'almost' Phoenician. I have a little leaking in my Mastercraft Dual Pro gasser, but never messed with it. It helps me with not having to control the dampers so much. Also those 'leaks' right into the neighbors yards and I get this question over the fence all the time - When is...

    Maverick ET-733 thread

    I have had that happen to me.... especially when the meat was cold....... I simply unplugged the probe from the unit..... reset to start...and after a few minutes (around 5 minutes) things came back to normal.  Hopefully that is all that was wrong with your probe/reading.

    Masterbuilt propane smokers

    As a simple fix.... I have used a 30 gallon black trash bag.  The bag virtually covers all but the very bottom...and I secure the bag with Magnets.  Works for quite a while.

    Another Newbie

    Hey there fellow Arizonan.... I have traveled in your area a few times...but not in a long time... Never seem to get up that way anymore. Hope the Monsoon's are not bothering you up there... they kind of have put a damper on my plans to try and do a little smoking this weekend... (to many...

    Masterbuilt propane smokers

    May want to finish the chicken off on the grill to crisp up the skin. Low smoking temps will give the skin a rubbery texture sometimes. You may also want to crank up the smoker temp at the end to help, but watch that you don't over cook the chicken in the process.

    Masterbuilt propane smokers

    Can't speak to the comparison - but will comment that I like my 2 door MB. When I open the cook chamber door it recovers in a few minutes but I have only used propane. I do like the convenience of the fire door especially if I need to stoke the wood chunks and add water - since this sometimes...

    Hello!

    Welcome.... And I kinda like the screen name. I too am a bit of a newbie here...... And just bought my vertical smoker in February after using my 'very' expensive built-in 3 burner natural gas grill, but disliking the indirect smoking results. There is so much information here it could take...

    Smoked chili

    Should work - don't forget to stir occasionally to get the smoke incorporated.

    Smoked chili

    I guess a lot would depend on what is in the chili.  Are the vege's already cooked or sauteed, or is there meats or beans that would need to be cooked.  Just as a point of reference...yesterday I put on a 8 x 12 inch pan of canned Pork n Beans (already cooked ) that I added some raw onions and...

    Masterbuilt propane smokers

    Hey there fellow valley dweller.... Interesting......I have never used charcoal, but am curious as to how that brick works out as far as drippings etc. heck on my MB I get a bucket of sludge in my pan sometimes it seems after cooking...and I always use the water pan to keep the meat as moist as...

    Masterbuilt propane smokers

    Another idea...... One thing I did was use those brass water fittings..... I actually drilled my hole in the back of my MB, that way it gave me the opportunity to run the wires in behind the slide out racks. Has worked out well for me....and after I bored out the center a little bit I can put...

    Sausage for fatties

    Not sure if you have one near you...but CostCo (the big warehouse store) in the states has big chubs of Jimmy Dean Sausage.  May be worth a look there if you have one near you.

    Maverick ET-733 thread

    I have the ET 733 and absolutely love it.  Mine is the White model.   (just wish the probes/wires were a bit longer).  I did the boiling water trick and registered about around 210.8 degrees...and I am at about 1100 feet elevation.  So no problems there.  One thing I did (cheating a bit here)...

    What do you drive?

    I'm fairly new here...but loving this web site.  I drive a 2003 Chevy Silverado Z71 4X4 - but only have 110 thousand on it.   Not sure how long I am going to keep it around, as my son wants it really bad...and I have the itches for a new Chevy Tahoe or GMC Yukon !!! Grin!!

    what all has everyone smoked/ favorite

    Guess I was lucky. I did not stir my aluminum pan full of beans but I did have them on the lower shelf to catch some of the pork drippings. They had a great smokey flavor - but thinking about it I bet they would have been even smokier with stirring.

    NEWBIE

    My guess is that cooking will be 12 hours plus at least for pulled... Just a guess. Sounds like you may be up at Dark O'clock to get started !!!
