    Fire Management

    Thx guys, some great points made here..I do start with a chimney full of lump then add splits.. maybe I need even more coals.. it does seem most of my temp comes from flame and not the coals.. i will try closing damper once temp is set, I always run chimney damper and firebox side door wide...

    Fire Management

    I've had my Yoder Cheyenne for 3 years now, I would say I continuously produce great BBQ with it, despite my question here. My only complaint is getting the smoker to hold my target temp longer., I use splits around 12-14 inches long and around wrist size thickness. The pit has no leaks at all...

    Best way to reheat brisket

    I have finished my brisket at 5am, put it directly in the warming drawer, still wrapped in the butcher paper, in my oven which runs at 150deg and held it there till 5pm... it came out of there perfect temp and extremely moist... would never change this method for holding briskets

    First beef ribs

    210 deg smoker temp seems very low for me.. I smoke beef plate ribs all the time which are around 6lbs each rack..I get my smoker up to 275 and they are cooked perfectly in 7-8 hrs...

    1.5 Hours per Pound @ 225º ?

    completely agree, I do all my butts at 275... just don't get the 225 thing...there's no difference except more time to finish... a 5lb butt just took me 7 hrs this last weekend at 275...

    Wrapping Ribs-- Foil or butcher paper?

    FYI..Franklin always uses foil on his ribs and butcher paper is just for his brisket

    Offset smokers and burning wood.

    sounds like your looking for a Yoder Cheyenne... I have it, fantastic smoker..
  15. skipdonohue

    to wrap or not to wrap, that is the question

    Brisket - There is no reason to cook over 8 hrs
