What's better for chili?
I plan on smoking either a brisket flat or a chuck roast to put in a chili? What do you think is better? What temp should I cook them to for cubing (don't want shredded). Any other advice for using a smoked meat in chili? Thanks -
Pork tenderloin and poblano pepper
I'm thinking of making a poblano pepper based wet rub/marinade for grilling a pork tenderloin. The following would go in the blender: 1. Grill roasted poblano pepper, charred skin left on 2. Olive oil 3. Lime juice 4. Salt 5. Ground chipotle pepper (from the jar, not three pepper itself) 6...- froman524

First pork loin
Smoked a pork loin for the first time yesterday, for new years eve dinner. Rubbed it with McCormick Smokehouse Maple seasoning and stuck it in the fridge overnight. Followed SmokinAl's method of putting it in a pan with broth; I used vegetable cause we had a bunch of it in the pantry. Turned out... -
Beef ribs for the first time
Been wanting to smoke some beef ribs for a little while now. Got a 3.5 lb pack of back ribs from Wegmans, the only ones on the shelf. Olive oil and SPOG. Really juicy and tender, great smoke flavor, not much of a bark (which may be due to the Olive oil?). -
First brisket with OFB
It's a beautiful morning to start a brisket, about 45° out here in Baltimore Using Black Diamond Charwood I found at Ace Hardware for the first time. Woke up at 5, seasoned a 5.8 lb flat, got the fire going (took 2.5 chimneys to get up to 225), in the Char-Griller at 6. Threw a few handful of... -

Apple cider
Has anyone used apple cider (not apple cider vinegar) for spraying on meat during the early part of a smoke to maintain moisture? I'm thinking it might impart a nice taste without the vinegar flavor, which my wife doesn't like.- froman524

Zinc plated steel?
Is zinc plated steel safe to use in the cook chamber as a smoke diverter? I don't have the capability to bend the thicker steel that isn't zinc coated. Aluminum would be fine too, right? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk- froman524

Wahoo!?
Anyone ever smoke Wahoo? My brother in law caught a few off North Carolina and will be giving us some when we go down to see him in a few weeks. When we've grilled it previously I thought it was pretty firm and dry. Could use some suggestions on the best way to prepare it, maybe smoking is an... -
Campfire chicken
Decided to cook some boneless chicken thighs over an open fire on my backyard fire pit. I even used the upper rack from my Char-Griller as the cooking grate. My wife was skeptical, but they turned out great- tender, juicy, and a nice smoke flavor. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk -
Hello
Hi everyone, I've been smoking off and on for 10+ years, but just recently found this forum and decided to join. I rescued my smoker from an alley behind my friends house in Baltimore and it has served me pretty well. I'm pretty sure it's a Char-Griller Super Pro 2121. I've used it without a... -
Brisket- need more moisture
Hey everyone, first time posting here. I've got a Char-Griller I found in an alley 10+ years ago, no offset fire-box (that's my next purchase) and I've used it a few times a year with good success, mostly for ribs. On Sunday I smoked a brisket for the 2nd time, last time was 10 years ago. I...
