    Smoking Emergency - Flame Boss Fan Stopped Running

    That's too much lit charcoal to start.....Start with 8-12 lit coals....I fill my chamber all the way up then pull 10 or so out from the center, light them in a chimney and dump them back in the same spot....If you start with less lit the flame boss should be able to control it and keep temps stable

    Smoking Emergency - Flame Boss Fan Stopped Running

    The fan will not cool hot coals like it cools you on a hot day. Air to fire=bigger fire. Your fan is not broken it is shutting down all air intake to try and get your temp down to your set point. Do a search on the minion method for next time and you'll be good to go

    Favorite beer while smoking and/or eating BBQ?

    That is correct. most are higher ABV but not all. For me if I'm going to pay for craft beer since its more expensive, I'm looking for beers 6% and up. Most of the time 7-8.

    Favorite beer while smoking and/or eating BBQ?

    I try a different craft beer almost every time. My last smoke was Union Jack IPA. Some good stuff. Love me some variety packs.

    Boneless Pork Butt-wrap or no wrap?

    I've never done boneless so don't know if there's a difference. I prefer not to wrap but sometimes do when I have those stubborn butts that seem to take forever. When I do wrap I try to wait as long as I can. Seems to me if I can wait until like 170 or later the bark will still be firm(tho...

    My weird story of going from well done steak to medium.

    Congrats on coming around to the way steak is suppose to be. Next time you try well done you will really tell the difference. Well done is not as tender and much more chewy. My wife use to be the same way until I finally got her to try it now she never gets well done. I prefer med rare. If...

    Charbroil Akron

    Don't have any experience with ceramics but I was at Sam's club and they had a vision ceramic grill/smoker. Looked like a good cooker for the money. Home depot has them also. From what I could tell very comparable to BGE except the price tag

    Trying to decide on new smoker

    I would lean more toward pellet grill if it were me. From what I've read the rec Tec are great pellet grills. I did a lot of research on them when I was contemplating getting a pellet grill. I ended up getting a WSM and a guru. I just got the guru and only used it a couple times so far but...

    BUTCHER PAPER VS. FOIL VS. NOTHING

    I prefer not to wrap butts but I will if time becomes an issue....if I do wrap I like to wait as long as I can and then let it vent when finished....I haven't tried the butcher paper with brisket yet but that's on my list of things to try

    Digit Q vs Flame boss

    thanks for the reply....customer service was one thing I was concerned about....flame boss is much newer the gurus so couldn't find quite as much info on them as the gurus...I'll have to search YouTube more as I'm planning to buy one of the two when I get my tax return

    I've been smoking for around 3 or 4 years now. I started with a Masterbuilt propane smoker. It bit the dust last fall. My wife got me a WSM 22 for Xmas. I've done a couple smokes on it so far and both turned out great. (chicken and baby backs) The baby backs it held perfect around 225 for...
