    It's been a while...

    I haven't logged in here in a while so I thought I would just re-introduce myself. I'm still smoking on my original smoker (the one in my avatar) however it's not that clean anymore! I'll probably spend a lot of my time in the pork section as I love smoking pork butts. I do ribs and chicken...

    Brining Ribs?

    Does anyone do it? Is it worth it? I'm going to be smoking about half a dozen racks of ribs later this week for the guys at work. I was just wondering if this was something worth trying. I'm looking for the juiciest, most tender ribs ever. This event is also a warm up for later this summer...

    My first Turkey

    I'm having a Christmas party this coming weekend with 18 people total. We're doing one traditional turkey and I'm going to be smoking a second turkey. I've been reading around the site trying to absorb all info I can. One thing I can't get a grasp on is how much time should I allow? It will...

    Yet another beer-can chicken

    Alright, I gave beer-can chicken another run on the smoker today. I think it turned out pretty well. Let me see if I can remember all the details that might interest you guys.

    To inject or not to inject....

    So I've done 2 shoulders before and they both turned out quite well. I used the recipe from the "Pulled Pork Recipe for all" thread and enjoyed it. Over the weekend however I was watching the food network and their special on "Memphis in May" and saw Chris Lilly injecting his shoulders. I...

    Smoked Chicken Questions

    So I've just started smoking and I've done chicken twice. Both times however the chicken skin didn't taste good at all. Both times I had a premade rub on it, the second time I also rubbed some olive oil on it too. I've read your guys' posts about people picking the chicken to the bone because...

    Another Young Guy Trying to Learn How to Smoke!

    Hi, my name is Kyle and I live up in Kenosha WI. I just bought myself a smoker about a month ago and with the cold weather up here I've only had one chance to use it. I smoked my first rack of ribs and man they were good. I'm going to try my hand at a couple whole chickens tomorrow (they're...
