    wanted a rack of plate short ribs, got single ribs instead

    I am having people over tomorrow, and i ordered 8 lbs of beef plate ribs to throw on the smoker. I asked for the cuts to have the full 3 ribs each if possible. It turned out, this was not possible. Each rib is cut separately. They are huge, but still i was anticipating doing racks and not...

    Ideas for unique cuts of pork for smoking:

    I was thinking of requesting some unique and crowd-impressing cuts, and was wondering if anyone saw any issues, anatomically or culinarily, with the following ideas: 1. entire pork ribs, baby back+spare.

I did pulled pork on my first smoke, and was not all that impressed by the authenticity of the smoke flavor...

    First smoker, considering UDS or offset firebox, need guidance.

    Hi, this is my first non-rollcall post. Thanks already for all the great information I have got off of this forum by lurking. I have access to some old oil barrels and my brother in law is an experienced cutter and welder. It seems that the Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) is the most commonly...

    Newbie looking to build some smokers and/or discuss whole hog.

    I have been lurking here for a couple months. I have a 2 stage plan to first either build a UDS or an offset smoker using 55 gallon drums I have available to me, then later build a reverse flow with something more substantial like an oil or air tank. I will be starting off by doing some...
