    First cheese smoke

    Finally had a nice day to try out the new AMNPS I got for Christmas. Picked up some mozzarella, cheddar, muenster and Monterey Jack on sale for $1.99 each. I couldn't pass it up! So I loaded the AMNPS with pitmaster's choice pellets and let it go for about 4 hours. Seems a bit long after...

    Day off smoked pulled chicken

    Had a nice day off today so I decided to smoke chicken thighs to make some pulled chicken. So I whipped up a batch of Chef JJ`s Bubba Chicken Rub, rubbed down the chicken, smoked at 275*-300* for 1.5 hours over apple and mesquite wood. The mesquite adds nice flavor and the apple mellows it out...

    ECB temperature woes

    I know there's probably a million threads about this topic but, I think there's an issue with my temp gage and how accurate it is. My smoker is a modded ECB (mounted a generic Home Depot temp gage and drilled holes in charcoal pan for better air flow) and for some reason my smoker gets way too...
