    Make ahead ribs

    I'm smoking my baby back ribs right now using Jeff's 2-2-1 method.  But, I am cooking them for our Christmas party this weekend.  I do not want to be out on the cold deck, in the dark while the party is going on.  I was going to completely cook them, then on the night of the party put some of...

    Finally got Jeff's rub and sauce

    I have been making my own BBQ sauce for years and my husband loved it.  It was great on pulled pork and ribs but it was just too sweet for chicken so I would buy sauce for that.  After buying and reading Jeff's ingredients I gave it a try.  Boy am I glad I did.  It's awesome on chicken AND...

    I'm Panicking -- HELP!

    I have Jeff's Hot and Fast Bourbon Smoked Pulled Pork in the oven right now.  It was in the smoker with a temperature probe and it got to 143° at 2 1/2 hours instead of 3.  No big deal.  I took it out, added apple juice and bourbon, covered with aluminum foil and inserted the probe again.  To my...

    Going to Try Hot and Fast Bourbon Smoked Pulled Pork

    OK, I'm excited.  I'm going to try Jeff's Hot & Fast Bourbon Smoked pork butt tomorrow.  I just made Jeff's Rub and BBQ Sauce and I have an 8 lb bone-in butt in the refrigerator calling my name.  One question, if anybody else has used this recipe, do you have any pointers for me or tweaking I...

    I Love You Guys

    We are having company for dinner so I decided to smoke a pork butt.  I religiously followed the wonderful sticky on smoking them.  I got my apple juice and Captain Morgan all ready and put the temperature probe into the pork.  When it got to 173° and stayed there for 45 minutes I didn't panic...

    Needle Valve

    I was so excited to get a complete needle valve assembly by Bayou for my Brinkman smoker just in time for Independence Day.  Unfortunately, we could not get the old line unscrewed.   Brinkman smokers aren't the sturdiest smokers in the world so we didn't want to force it, or the whole thing...

    Small Emergency, Sorry

    I'm sure we Newbies are real pains..... I bought a very small pork butt (3 lbs) that is held together with a mesh, I assume so it won't fall apart while cooking.  Should I take it off before I rub it and smoke it in a 8X8 aluminum pan?  Or rub it with the mesh on and then smoke?  I don't want...

    Regulating the Temperature

    I have a Brinkman propane smoker that I've had for 3 years.  In the whole time I've had it I've had nothing but problems getting the temperature under 250°.  First I moved it into a shaded area on our deck which helped a little, then I propped open the upper door which works most of the time but...

    Hello

    I'm fairly new to smoking - about 3 years.  I'm great at ribs but have screwed up a brisket a few time which scared me a bit so experimenting is off limits.  I'm retired and I love to cook and garden.  I'm really looking forward to getting some help so I can smoke any meat.
