    Portable smoker recommendations please

    I've got the Master built Propane smoker. I love it, and so does my son. We enjoy it so much that whenever my wife and I are traveling the 2 hours to  my son and daughter in law's house for a weekend, I end up bringing it in the SUV with me. It is getting to be a pain transporting it. I'm...

    Thanksgiving appetizers for the Smoker - Need ideas

    Short Ribs - how to smoke?

    Good question, Regular Guy.  All I know is the butcher label on the pack said 'Boneless Short Ribs'. Looking at your two photos, I'd say the ones I had looked most like your top photo of the beef back ribs.  They were definitely not as thick and round as the 'chuck' photo.  And they had nice...

    Pulled Pork with Boneless Pork Shoulder

    Don't know about 195 but all I can tell you is that after reading lots of posts, I've moved my smoker temp up to around 250 to 265 for everything.  Even higher for chicken. As I understand it, it's not so much about the smoking temperature as it is monitoring the meat temperature closely. For...

    Pulled Pork with Boneless Pork Shoulder

    Thanks for the responses. I'll give it a try and keep a close eye on the temp.

    Pulled Pork with Boneless Pork Shoulder

    Pretty simple question. I've always used a pork shoulder with the bone-in for smoking pulled pork. At Costco, they have 'boneless' pork shoulders that look pretty big, but I'm wondering if the bone has a purpose. The only thing I've ever wanted the bone for is to have the satisfaction of...

    Short Ribs - how to smoke?

    So I'm sorry I didn't take photos but the short ribs came out pretty good. Not as tender as a brisket, but pretty tender all the same. I smoked with hickory and pecan, about 260 to 270 degrees. These short ribs were boneless,  I did not wrap them in foil, I thought they would cook so fast...

    Short Ribs - how to smoke?

    Hi again! I found a bunch of great deals at Costco tonight. Vacuum packed, 3 full Baby Back Ribs to a pack - Swift Premium brand - $2.99 / pound. Got some nice thick Ribeye steaks for $8.99 / pound. But the thing that caught my eye was the packs of "Beef Chuck Short Ribs" Boneless, USDA...

    Boneless Strip Steak Grilling question

    HI.  I thought I did a good thing, but now I need some opinions. I bought a pack of (4) boneless strip steaks at Costco for $6.99/pound. They were thawed, not frozen. They were about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 " thick. I put them on the gas grill right out of the fridge, same day I bought them. Cooked...

    Here is a great story (at least for me lol) for you all to read

    Rob, that's a great story and it makes me think.  I never thought about making jerky in the smoker! Now I'll have something to try this weekend. Thanks!!!

    Idea on how to add wood chips easier to a Masterbuilt smoker

    If you look closely at the photos, you'll see that I use a cast iron skillet on top of the sheet metal tray. The wood chips go in the skillet and I don't know why, but they never catch on fire. Funny thing, the only time I had a fire start was when I used 'chunks' of wood instead of the chips...

    Smoked Pork Chops - Wow!

    No, I didn't flip them. I had all 4 on the rack that's 3rd from the bottom (or 2nd from the top). I just put them on the plate that way because it looked like a better photo op. Thanks.

    Idea on how to add wood chips easier to a Masterbuilt smoker

    I've got a propane Masterbuilt vertical smoker (my first smoker). I've done a lot of the mods that were recommended... cast iron fry pan for wood chips, using an aluminum disposable tray for water, checking internal smoker temp with an independent thermometer.  All good ideas. I've never gave...
