    First time trying Umai

    Hi, I tried dry-aging a striploin today in an Umai bag for the first time. The vacuum seal didn't seem to seal the bag super tight, but it seemed to be tight enough that their 75-80% coverage suggestion was there. Now that it's in the fridge, it seems as though there is more air and space in...

    New smoker. Need to clean/season and prep for weekend smoke

    I've been using a COS for a few months now and saw a smoker for sale I needed to jump on. It comes from a guy who was a welding student and made a smoker for a project, but never used it after it was done. I seasoned my COS when it arrived and everything seemed to work well. My question is...

    First Brisket attempt

    Trying out my first brisket today.  It's a pretty small one 3.4KG (7.5#) picked it up at a local butcher.  Cost more than it should have $25/KG (11.33/#) but it should be good meat as it's fresh from a local farm. Rubbed it with CBP and Salt, used a bbq sauce as a bind then injected with beef...

    Liquids in a spray bottle

    Hi, Was wondering if anyone had any insight into if it's safe to keep liquids (I currently have apple cider vinegar) in a spray bottle between cooks, and if so how long can they stay in there?  Are there sprays that stay better longer?  Do I need to worry about the plastic "melting" away from...

    Very first smoke ever with Chicken Drumsticks Qview

    Hey everyone, Finally got my smoker all set up and did the first burn earlier today.  Decided to throw some chicken drumsticks on and try out this smoking thing I've been hearing about. I've used a kettle before for a slow cook of some pork, and I've used a smoker tube on a gas grill, but this...

    Member Flare

    Hey, Just wondering if the member flare updates on its own.  The "newbie" "OTBS Member" "smoke blower" etc.  Does it update as you post more?

    Difference between Char-Broil American Gourmet Offset Smoker Deluxe and 1280

    Hey, I've looked around the forum search a bit but haven't been able to find this. Is there a difference between these two smokers?  Is one an older model and one newer?  They look the same to me while watching videos or checking out photos that people have posted. I ordered a Dyna Glo...

    Smokers in Ottawa

    Hey, Just joined the forum and hoping to see some more people from around the Ottawa area.  I've seen a couple posts from people, but the accounts seem to be dead now. If you're from Ottawa, say hello and let me know your favourite places to grab meat, supplies, or equipment! I've been doing...

    Dyna-Glo vertical off-set smoker fire chamber

    Has anyone put a new fire chamber into their smoker?  My smoker hasn't arrived yet, but from the pictures, it appears as though there's a fair bit of space on the top so a bigger tray might fit in? I'd be interested in trying something like this:  so that the charcoal burns slowly over time...

    Just getting started

    Hey, Just joined the forum after coming across it while searching for some smoker info on google.  Love all the information I've read so far, only being here a couple days. I'm from Ottawa, ON in Canada so I'm curious as to how much I'll be able to smoke in the winter time with the...
