    Simple brisket advice please

    After a few failed attempts I come to ask my fine friends here at smf for help. I stopped at sams today looking for a whole brisket but all they had were flats so I bought a 9lber. My plan is to go 50/50 salt pepper rub. I'm not gonna trim at all as I feel I tend to overtrim and start my...

    Looking to buy some decent wood chunks

    Well as a continuing effort to improve my smoking I decided to try changing wood chunks. I get the ones from Lowes or home depot and I would like to try some real wood that maybe wouldn't give off that bitter white smoke. Someone in a different post of mine said that the big box store wood isn't...

    So my wsm is off this much?

    So I finally got a decent thermometer, maverick et733, and used it for the first time last night on a tri tip. I can't believe the difference in readings from the top dome thermometer on my wsm and actual grate temp. Was probably 40 degrees at least. I was always concerned I couldn't get my...

    Mini wsm or the 14.5

    Let's just start by saying this is coming from a completely unhandy kinda guy. I'm just debating the effectiveness of using my 22.5 everytime I want to smoke something no matter how small. Real question is does a 14.5 work better than a mini built by a nitwit. I'm sure I could follow directions...

    Want to pull the trigger on a tappecue

    Need a thermometer and want one that will last and won't need to be upgraded when I move on to other smokers or whatever. I like the 4 probe deal which means igrill2, et735, or the tappecue. Anyone been using a tpq for awhile now. Thoughts or experience would be appreciated.

    Can I be oversmoking?

    It seems like sometimes when I cook on my wsm things come out tasting oversmoked. Just the other day I smoked a pork loin. I didn't use that many wood chunks, maybe 6 or 7. I used cowboy lump charcoal as the base and maybe 10 Kingsford briquettes from a chimney to get it going. It was moist and...

    Water expansion tank??

    Ok so I've been looking and looking for a large propane tank to build a rf smoker. Propane seems really tough to find and 250 gallon would frankly be too large for me to handle.I found a water expansion tank that looks to be maybe 100 to 120 gallon in size. Seems really thick to me. Can this be...

    Temp concerns for dry aging

    Ok so I really don't know what is going on here and if I should be concerned. So I basically decided I want to dry age whole primal cuts of beef. Too many dumb ideas and a little extra money too waste I guess. So I found a really nice used kenmore fridge for 50 bucks. I found a really good...

    Dry aging beef

    Something I've been kicking around lately and I'm curious if anyone has tried it. I want to place a whole ribeye in a spare fridge for 30-40 days and dry age it. Is the fan a necessity as some say while others say only keeping a constant temp of 38 to 40 degrees is a must. Anyway just curious if...
