    chops

    I bought a bunch of pork chops. Had them cut little over an inch thick. How well do they smoke up. About how long do you think they would take? dmack

    thermometers

    I have now collected a few thermometers. I made the mistake of buying a couple cheapies and have problems with each thermometer sending its signal to other monitors. Last weekend we had a couple people using the same type of thermometer. So, we had questions about whose temp we were seeing on...

    A great success

    Last week I mentioned that I would be involved with a major smoke event on Friday and Saturday (today). So we had 2 adjoining campsites at Saylorville Reservoir for the smoking (last night) and a shelter reserved for the serving (today). We had 6 smokers and two Weber kettles going. 6 pork...

    Cajun turkey injection sauce

    Forgot to ask for this on my Meatwave post-does anyone have a good cajun turkey injection sauce recipe? I plan on just basting with garlic butter maybe with a little cajun seasoning in it. And yes, I will be brining. dmack

    It's a Meatwave!

    Group of us are gathering our smokers and doing a big smoke for about 50 people this weekend. We have 2 campsites (for the all night smoke) and a shelter (for the serving) reserved for this Friday and Saturday. It sounds like we've got a couple briskets, at least 3 pork butts, a 14# turkey, and...

    Holiday pre-smoke

    I am taking pulled pork up to Mason City for the 4th. So decided to do the smoke today. Kind of nice to not have to get up real early. I also got a load of apple, hickory, and maple last night. So, as you'll see I had it all goin' on today. Little smokin', little chain saw work, some splittin'...

    burn barrel users

    Question for any of you offset smokers that use burn barrels-do you have any tricks you use to keep from getting a lot of ash as you add the embers to the firebox? I started with a basket of unlit lump. As my apple began to burn I have been adding the embers to the basket. I just hate the ash...

    andouille sausage and cajun cookin'

    Hey. In addition to good ol' fashion Que I am a huge fan of Louisiana cuisine. Just got done fixin' up a batch of red beans and rice with store bought andouille sausage. I got to wondering if a guy could smoke up some sausage and use that in place of the Klements sausage I buy at the store. I...

    my own lump review

    Hey guys and gals, While I really value the link for the lump data base (http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lump.htm) it is a bit overwhelming to me. Too much info. I am planning on doing my first smoke with my Horizon tomorrow morning. As you may know I have been looking for good lump that I can easily...

    Central Iowa smoker wood

    Central Iowa Guys, Having just picked up a used Horizon and ready to use it often, I am now in need of a good source of wood. With my gosm I could make a bag of chunks last a while. Any of the guys from Central Iowa have a good lead on some wood (mainly hickory) that you would share? I have...

    lump at the big box stores

    Say I have gone to the lump charcoal database site-very informative. Almost overwhelming. What I was wondering is of the big stores Walmart, Menards, Home Depot, and Lowes what store carries your preferred lump? I live equal distance from these stores I have a bag of Royal Oak Steakhouse...

    new smoker

    Found myself a used Horizon Classic 16. What mods do I need to do to keep my temp fairly uniform across the entire cooking surface? I'm looking forward to trying it out. I will be going from a gosm and now moving to total wood. Any tips anybody can give me I would appreciate it. dmack

    "ashtray" mod

    I was getting a bit frustrated with the smoke decreasing when the ash began to build up in my gosm. I decided to try a 2 cake pan system. In the bottom pan I put legs and small brackets to receive the upper pan. On the upper pan I cut out the bottom and replaced with expanded metal. Due to me...

    gosm modification

    Maybe some of you can help me. I have been using my GOSM for a year now. I've had great results. I am thinking about a new mod to deal with ash build up in my pan. Right now I am using a cake pan to put chunks and lump in. I do get quite a bit of ash build up and this slows the smoke. What I'm...

    entry level wood/charcoal burning unit

    Hello all, I have a GOSM and have used it for a year now. I really do like it. I am now thinking that it would be nice to have a smoker that isn't gas powered. I like the idea of a horizontal unit with the side fire box. I saw some beautiful units today at the competition in DesMoines-Horizons...

    Pork loin ribeye roast

    Quick question, I was wondering how long a pork loin ribeye roast would take to smoke? It weighs a pound and a half. I would take it to slice tenderness. I suppose about 170. I know there are so many variables but I always do the traditional smokes:ribs, chicken, butts, brisket, I haven't ever...

    Butt prices

    Quick question, One of our local grocery chains has Boston Butt roasts at $.99/lb. How good is that deal? I can't remember what I paid for my last couple butts. dmack
