    Brine question

    I'm not sure it's common...I saw a reference to it a few days ago (not on here), thought it sounded interesting to try. Usually I just see it wrt roasts. I may change my mind and just do the 3-2-1 without any pre-soak or brining...have to see.

    Brine question

    First time considering brining ribs before smoking. I am wanting to use apple juice. Do I need to add salt or sugar (since I'm not just using water), and if so, how much? Also, will this affect my smoking the ribs via the 3-2-1 method as far as timing goes, and if so, how?

    WSM 18.5" Charcoal Smoker

    Hi all, It's been a while since I've been on here - got an electric smoker some years ago, used it several times, learned quite a bit on it. Wife says the ribs I make these days are better than the ones at the local bbq joints (not sure if I believe that, but I'll take it :) ) Anyway, I'm...

    Smoked chicken for dinner...

    I'll try to get a Q-View in here later after the bird is done...don't want to lose any more smoke than I have to.  Basic chicken with the same rub I tend to use for ribs on it (brown sugar, salt, chili powder, smoked spanish paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, chipotle powder), smoking...

    Maybe I finally have the hang of this

    All, That WAS the finished pic - prior to serving individuals.  I was rushed for time (got started late for numerous reasons), so don't have any "beginning" or "while cooking" pics. I'll try to do a plated pic and others another time - maybe when there's light available to get some outdoor...

    Maybe I finally have the hang of this

    Apparently, all I needed to do was nail down a good rub make-up. Last rack I smoked about 2-3 weeks ago, wife took one bite and said, "Honey! Whatever you did to the ribs, do it again! Wow!" Going for another rack this afternoon. This time, I will try to get some q-view for everyone. :)

    smoking cheese first time

    Anyone out there who has smoked cheese on a Brinkman electric smoke-n-grill? I want to try that this week, but not sure how to do it on my equipment.

    First time for pulled pork

    Holding steady at 176 internal temp.  I have it in the oven at 250, after it spent about 4 hrs in the smoker.  Wrapped in foil, but I think there might be a hole in it, as there's juice all in the bottom of the pan.  Hopefully it'll still turn out ok, but we'll see - got things to meddle with...

    First time for pulled pork

    Thanks, timber. I took a peek at it and was planning to shoot for that on the internal temps anyway.  Problem, I can't necessarily change the temp of my smoker - Brinkman Electric.  Yes, I have a meat thermometer with a probe on it and am planning to insert that into the meat @ some point, but...

    First time for pulled pork

    Smoking a pork shoulder roast (bone-in) for my first time. I've seen timing should be about1-1.5 hours per pound - this puppy is about 3.5 pounds, so thinking around 5 hrs (though with the warmer weather down here, my times have been considerably less than I initially calculated.  I'm shooting...

    Smoking time for a pork rack?

    Going to try a pork rack today (not the ribs, but the chops).  Pork rack is about 4 lbs - assuming my Brinkmann is running at the "manual-stated" 250 degree temp, about how long should that take?  Any suggestions on how to do it?  Saw something about wrapping it in foil for last hour(?)...do...
