I put about 5-6 chunks on top, let it settle, then it billows like that for about 5-10 minutes after meat goes on before settling down

Second angle

I know I posted another thread about thin blue smoke, but still new at this I realize there is somewhat of a learning curve....thoughts please. This was 5 minutes after I put the meat on, so unsure of a flare up

Hey guys, we cut down a part of an older maple that broke during a storm a few weeks ago. My gut tells me maple would not be good smoking for the same reason pine would not be good...potential sap but internet searches tell me otherwise. Who am I to believe? I believe it's sugar maple. they are...

Well that's comforting....longest smoke to date....fired it up at 7, wrapped it at around 1230 and pulled it at around 3. I kept trying to figure out why temps kept falling within minutes of adding chunks and realized when I started to foil that all the charcoal had burned out so had to refill...

Just got it out and ate it...took about 8 hours total. Took it off at 200 and rested it for 45 minutes . Went to lift by the bone to transfer to the dish I was going to pull it off in and bone released and slid out clean with no meat attached under the weight of the butt. Ate mine without sauce...

Also don't know if this would classify as thin blue smoke

Been having trouble maintaining temps because an unexpected storm ran through and it dropped to 190. Got it back up but wondering if this is too much smoke? Hopefully I didn't add too much wood at one time

So I will be getting an offset(probably a highland) and had decided on a uds as well but after researching etc I am leaning more towards kettle instead of the uds. Any thoughts? From what I have seen you can get a good low and slow with kettle that is around 8-10 hrs with snake method and it...

Pulled it out of marinade and after discussing with my friend who has smoked meats for years, he said he rubs his butts 24 hrs before the smoke so rubbed them down with butt rub for a base, and added a little cayenne powder, paprika, and black pepper, then foiled and threw it in the fridge ready...

I will pull it tomorrow morning then

We are probably going pulled instead of sliced....thought today was Friday so threw it in the marinade today. I either pull it out tomorrow morning and go ahead and rub it down the day before or leave it in marinade for 48 hours and hope the acv doesn't over tenderize it

Hopefully tomorrow I can actually take my time and not rush anything. Got my butt marinating in zesty Italian and apple cider vinegar for 24 hours and will throw it in the smoker tomorrow. I imagine it will take considerably longer than the poi I did my first time. Just going to use butt rub on...

Hey guys, I know this has been beaten to death but have a question on doing single intake for uds. The largest pipe at local Lowes is 1 1/4". I know my current brinkman has a fixed hole that can't be more than 3/4" but I understand the elbow will restrict air flow. Would a single 1 1/4" with an...

It was sweet and spicy and a little smokey

Well despite a few major errors came out okay. We have plans all day so did it tonight instead. Started marinating in Italian dressing yesterday evening and got my smoker going as soon as I get home. My 2 year old was going crazy so I had to rush to get it on so I could get him settled down so I...

After my first smoke on Saturday, a pork loin that came out very tender and juicy even though the middle needed more flavor I'm trying out a rump roast. A coworker of mine advised to try a beef roast such as chuck but this was the cheapest cut they had and I figured for my first beef smoke I...

Love it. Will try next Saturday

It settled down to around 260 for the last hour....was going good until the fat split and cracked for the last 5 degrees causing a loss in juices. Crust was great but very little flavor on the inside. Trying an injection next time

Just threw a loin for my first smoke. Took a risk and put it on at around 320 because I figured it wasn't coming back down. I'm using a cheaper smoker my mom got a couple years ago that doesn't have the best temp controls, so I think when I upgrade in a few months it won't run away as...
