Hello everyone! I've got a Camp Chef pellet smoker that I've used now for a few years. Nice machine, I like it. My son is 'raving' about the Kamado Green Egg charcoal grill his friend bought. So, I did some research, and I know you will agree with me that there's nothing wrong with having more...

Hello! It's been a while since I posted. I've got a Camp Chef Pellet smoker for almost 2 years now and my son and I are loving it. I have a problem once in a while with the heat rising like crazy, but it seems manageable. Anyway, my question is about the St Louis style ribs I just smoked...

HI. I've moved on from my Master Built propane smoker which had finally started to 'rot out' from rust - not the smoker's fault, I just didn't take good care of covering it when I should have. So I really liked to options of the Camp Chef and found out that the Cabela's smoker for $549 is the...

Hi. I'm trying a new way (for me) to smoke a pork shoulder with bone in. I saw a comparison on You Tube of wrapping in foil verses not wrapping, but I don't remember how they did it. I'm currently at 175, smoker is at about 260. Meat has been in for 9 hours so far.  It's 4pm in the...

Hi. My Propane Master built smoker is a few years old now, the burner area is starting to rust out (my fault for leaving it outside), and there's a few reasons I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on buying a new smoker. For the Master built, although it can hold a good amount of meat with it's...

Hi again.  I've got the Masterbuilt propane smoker and on a previous thread I explained the problem I had this past  weekend getting the smoker to heat up higher than 200 degrees.   Yesterday, I had a chance to fire it up with nothing in it.  Sure enough, it works fine now.  I had the...

Did my biggest challenge yet this past weekend. I smoked (3) 7 pound Pork shoulders in my Masterbuilt propane - it was the best smoke I've done to date.  Hit 170 internal meat temp, wrapped all 3 in foil and continued up to 200.  Let sit for an hour, unwrapped them, pulled and it was nice and...

Hi. I smoked Chicken Wings last night and would like some opinions on how to improve the final product.   I cut the 3rd 'tip' off the wings before smoking so it was the (2) main wing sections together. Put them in a bowl, drizzled garlic flavored olive oil over them and mixed by hand to coat...

Hi I'm wondering. Can I treat chops the same as smoking a pork butt? What I mean is, if I grill pork chops to 145, then wrap them in foil and continue cooking to 200 degrees, will they be tender like a pulled pork?

Hi. Smoking weekend coming up.  :) I've got a question about the Baby backs that I've been buying. It seems to me that the cuts of meat that I'm getting from the store have a type of 'cut' to them that's different than what I get in a restaurant. Let me explain. If you take the full length...

HI.  I smoked 4 slabs of Baby Back Ribs on Sunday. They came out really good. We have 3 slabs of ribs left - I made too many on purpose. So, Sunday night, I put all the left overs in zip lock bags and into the fridge. I realize they probably shouldn't stay in there much longer, but will they...

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...

HI! Been a little while since posting. First off, hope everyone has a great holiday this weekend! We've got things planned for every day. Thursday, wife is making prime rib for 3 of us in the oven. Friday, I'm putting chicken wings and a pork shoulder in the smoker. Saturday - 20 pound...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I hadn't thought of smoking pork chops because I thought they were too lean. Luckily, I decided to search the forum and see what others had done. So yesterday, I smoked up 4 chops using very basic guidelines; Buy thick cut Mustard rub, followed with pork dry rub. Pecan wood 275 smoker...

I read a bunch of posts and decided to try pork chops for dinner. Put them on about a half hour ago at 275 with pecan wood. They are nice and thick, I'd say at least 1 1/2" center cut with bone. Ok, so here's my question. Everything I've been smoking, I'm wrapping in foil at 170, and cooking...
