The black that usually lines the inside of the smoker is creosote, which stays a little sticky, or at least sticky enough to catch ash. The white looks like the charcoal ash for disturbed or a gust of wind sent some through there. I wouldn’t worry too much about it as long as you don’t see any...
Brisket is one of those meats you don’t necessarily cook to a set temp or time. Usually somewhere in the 195-209 degree range you will reach a point where it is tender and juicy and can probe it easy as warm butter with a toothpick or thermometer etc. A couple degree shy and it could still be a...
Looking good. I started out with a cheap offset smoker (COS) similar to the chargriller. They are a great way to get into smoking without spending and arm and leg, and can turn out some top notch Q. Air and heat management are important. Mine was tough to smoke with during the winter, and always...
i know your pain. Ive done the same thing before, but it’s not worth the risk. Pitch it out and get another. On the bright side you will probably not make the same mistake lol.

I started out with a 3.9 LB choice grade chuck roast with some nice marbling. I just gave it a rinse, no trim, no binder, and a heavy dusting of my...
I started out with a COS, converted it to reverse flow with some other mods, and learned a lot about smokin with it. I think some of the best tasting Q is from a clean burning stick burner. I Had a lot of fun with it and a lot of good Q from it. It does take a lot of tinkering to run, which i...
Sounds like the outer part of the baby backs did harden and dry up pretty good on you. Like @fivetricks said, there is a lot of lean meat on the top of the baby backs from the loin. Which I guess is why they are also called loin back ribs. I don’t think the alcohol would have caused the issues...
I can’t say that I’ve ever noticed a sulfur smell when using royal oak or embers, just a little burnt newspaper smell that I start my chimney with. Ive never used any vegetable oil in the process either. I’d say try another chimney full with no oil and check for more smell. Maybe it was some...
