    Chicken Thighs

    I'm doing a pork loin tonight, however one of my guests is allergic to pork so throwing in some chicken thighs too. Pork loin is typically about 2 hours at 240, I'm only doing 4 thighs so I figure it shouldn't throw that off too much. Will the chicken take about the same time or longer at that...

    Dry Brine and Injection - Turkey

    Smoking my first turkey this year.  I'm going to do a simple dry brine (Judy Bird recipe) and then smoke it with apple and pecan wood.  I just picked up an injector as well, was thinking a garlic butter type concoction.  Any suggestions on a recipe for an injection marinade that would go well...

    First time turkey

    I'm going to do a practice run turkey before Thanksgiving rolls around.  My practice I'm going to go a bit smaller if I can find it, but game time will be about a 15lbs turkey.  In the past before I had a smoker I've always done a dry brine and oven bag.  While the skin never came out crisp, the...

    Chicken and Pork Loin

    I'm smoking some chicken pieces and pork loin today.  I'm comfortable with the pork loin, not sure on the chicken as it's my first time.  I've got some thighs and legs with bone and skin, but the breasts are boneless skinless which worries me a bit.  Was planning on aiming for 230-250 temp.  I'm...

    Smoke Vault Rib Rack?

    Hi All, I'm new here, just ordered a Smoke Vault 24 that's arriving today.  I'm planning to smoke some ribs this weekend and was wondering how necessary the rib racks are.  They are relatively inexpensive on Amazon, but are they really needed for the ribs to come out ok or can I just use the...

    Which Thermometer?

    Hi All, I'm new here, just getting started.  I just ordered a Smoke Vault 24" and from all the reading I've done, I'd be best to get some sort of different thermometer to use with it as the built in ones just aren't up to par.  Any suggestions on what would be a good fit for this smoker, or can...

    Beginner looking at Masterbuilt 30 vs 40

    I'm completely new to all of this.  I've been reading and for the about $200 price range I think I'm looking at the Masterbuilt.  Any others I should be considering?  If I go with the Masterbuilt I'm stuck on the 2 door 30 inch or the single door 40 inch.  Seems like the more space would be nice...
