    Brine question

    First time considering brining ribs before smoking. I am wanting to use apple juice. Do I need to add salt or sugar (since I'm not just using water), and if so, how much? Also, will this affect my smoking the ribs via the 3-2-1 method as far as timing goes, and if so, how?

    WSM 18.5" Charcoal Smoker

    Hi all, It's been a while since I've been on here - got an electric smoker some years ago, used it several times, learned quite a bit on it. Wife says the ribs I make these days are better than the ones at the local bbq joints (not sure if I believe that, but I'll take it :) ) Anyway, I'm...

    Smoked chicken for dinner...

    I'll try to get a Q-View in here later after the bird is done...don't want to lose any more smoke than I have to.  Basic chicken with the same rub I tend to use for ribs on it (brown sugar, salt, chili powder, smoked spanish paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, chipotle powder), smoking...

    Maybe I finally have the hang of this

    Apparently, all I needed to do was nail down a good rub make-up. Last rack I smoked about 2-3 weeks ago, wife took one bite and said, "Honey! Whatever you did to the ribs, do it again! Wow!" Going for another rack this afternoon. This time, I will try to get some q-view for everyone. :)

    First time for pulled pork

    Smoking a pork shoulder roast (bone-in) for my first time. I've seen timing should be about1-1.5 hours per pound - this puppy is about 3.5 pounds, so thinking around 5 hrs (though with the warmer weather down here, my times have been considerably less than I initially calculated.  I'm shooting...

    Smoking time for a pork rack?

    Going to try a pork rack today (not the ribs, but the chops).  Pork rack is about 4 lbs - assuming my Brinkmann is running at the "manual-stated" 250 degree temp, about how long should that take?  Any suggestions on how to do it?  Saw something about wrapping it in foil for last hour(?)...do...

    Ribs - Try number 2.

    Worked much better this time. Shortened cooking times by 30 minutes each stage and used a different rub, and didn't put any rub on after foil stage.

    Newbie questions

    I'm looking to smoke my first rack or two of ribs in a couple of weeks.  I've been scouring the forums and the internet and have found some information, but I'm hoping some of y'all can help me out a little, as I still have several questions. I'm planning to go with the 3-2-1 method, as I have...

    Smoke n' Grill lower grate

    Just joined the group, haven't been on the forum for more than a few months.  I currently use a Brinkmann electric Smoke N' Grill - the one that looks like the Cookin' Cajun (but it's not the Cookin' Cajun). Has anyone had much luck cooking any meat on their lower grate? Mine is sitting right...

    newbie question

    ...only because I can't seem to find an answer to this online anywhere (but maybe I'm not using the right keywords). I'm trying to find a nice brine recipe for turkey.  So far, everything I've seen says that ice is part of the recipe.  However, my car is on the fritz and I can't get anywhere to...

    Almost 4 hours in...

    ...to the Turkey Day Bird, and it is looking mighty tasty!  Not really doing any fancy marinade, but my wife made up a brown sugar / chipotle rub that is to die for. Anyone with a Brinkmann - are the cooking times from the Brinkmann company accurate?  5-6 hrs for an 11.25 pound bird?  Or is it...

    Beginner needing help with a Brinkmann electric smoke n grill

    Hi all, I am wanting to use my Smoke N Grill for Thanksgiving this year.  I have an electric one, and it does not (at least not that I can see) have a side door for loading more wood chips during smoking. I'm confused on a couple of things with how to use it, and I was hoping there might be...
