    How long can I rest a rump roast? Done too early. Please advise.

    I am currently smoking a 4 lb rump roast for dinner with friends as french dip sammies and apparently miss judged when it will be done. Started at 9:30, It's now 1:30 and my IT is 135 degrees. Starting temp was 225, but it was getting done so fast I turned it down to 190 a couple hours in...

    First time smoking big King salmon

    This was my first season taking my own boat to the Columbia river Hanford Reach area to fish for kings. We did pretty well. Limited out the first time trying, and went several more times, all with similar results. I had a really good mentor. So, I fortunately have a pretty good amount of fillets...

    Top round roast for tomorrow, same as london broil?

    Rosauer's has boneless top round roast for $3.59 lb so I'm going to do one up for a shin dig at the neighbor's tomorrow. I think it's the same muscle as a london broil only thicker right? I'm figuring EVOO and SPOG overnight and pop it in the smoker at 230f till I get an IT of 150. Should be...

    I got two 5 lb briskets from my dad who raises his own beef, so I'm going to do one for him and one for myself. My question is, since I think they will be too large to fit on the same rack, is there any issue with having one over the other and the juices dripping on the lower one? Possible dumb...

    Boneless cross rib roast

    Fred Meyer has these on sale for $3.99 a pound. Bought a 5 pounder and cut it in half. Gave it the SPOG and worcestershire sauce and marinated in a ziplock for a few hours. Found a lot of opinions on what temp to take it to, from 130IT to 205IT, the latter I believe is for pulled beef. So I...

    First time doing a brisket

    I have a beef brisket I am going to cook tomorrow. I've got a Masterbuilt electric smoker. The brisket is small, 2.67lbs. The only other beef I've done was a tri tip last weekend that was a similar size . I  searched around and it seems that people do brisket at a higher temp than tri tip, like...

    New to smoking fish, want to be safe.

    Hi all, I recently purchased a new digital smoker for fish, and want to make sure I am doing it safely. I have read a ton on line, bought a book, talked to friends who do it all the time, etc., and have some concerns. I went to the local spice company who specialize in smoking meat, curing...
