    Brisket Flat

    7 lb flat in the smoker. Got tired of trying to find a packer cut. Trying a basic Texas rub. Kosher salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder, parsley, oregano, chili powder and sugar. In at 6:30/250* - will start checking IT at 9:30.

    Tri Tip

    First try at a Tri Tip (a little under 2#). Olive oil and a good Texas rub, in the fridge for 24 hrs. Coming up to room temp now. Will go in the smoker for an hour at 180*. Second hour at 325*. Target temp for resting is 135*. Thoughts - suggestions? Keeping my fingers crossed!

    Baby Backs

    Did Baby Backs at 220* instead of 225-235* (have done them at both temps). 3 - 1&1/2 - 1. Total time 5 1/2 hrs. Without question, the best ribs yet. Oh by the way..used Smokin Bros Apple & Hickory pellets.

    Temp Drop

    This is a bit concerning! Ribs on at 235*. Twice now the temp has dropped down to 218* before recovering. The second time (not sure about the first) came just after spritzing. Cover not open that long and I don't think its happened in the past. Next spritz at 2:30. Will watch for a drop then...

    Exploding Grill?

    Just read a report about a pellet grill (not sure if I should mention the brand here) exploding and bursting into to flames. Seems the problem was started when the owner noticed the grill had gone out. He said he opened he hopper and noticed "....it had burrowed a hole down through the center...

    Replacement Grills

    I have a GMC Daniel Boone smoker. I would like to replace the grills with either ceramic or iron. Does anyone know of a company that sells after market replacement grates?

    Grill Grates

    Just ordered a sear station from Grill Grates. Looking forward to a nice 1.5" bone in rib eye. Reverse seared of course!

    Grease & Muck Buildup

    Let me start by saying that I am anal about keeping my grill clean. I have it about a month, used it maybe 10 times and have scrubbed the plates and grills twice with biodegradable BBQ cleaner. Incidentally, I clean the grill after each use. Decided today to pick up a small wet/dry vac for the...

Injected beef broth and rubbed with BBQ Bros Texas Rub. Oh yeah, a few garlic cloves too. Figuring 10 hrs plus at 235*. Will post updates tomorrow. In...

    Excessive Smoke/Moisture

    Tuesday late afternoon I decided to throw a couple of burgers on the smoker. I cranked it up to 400* and then got myself a beer. Came back out and the patio was covered in smoke. I have seen this before at higher temps but this really was bad. I keep the smoker covered at all times and my patio...

    Packer vs. Flat

    I will defer to those with much more knowledge and experience when smoking meats. I am a "Newbie" and have been smoking for about a month. I bought and am pleased with the GMG Daniel Boone. That said, I am getting ready to try a brisket soon. Advice (very much appreciated!) has been to go with a...

    Gaining Confidence!

    Second go-round with ribs. Tried St. Louis this time instead of baby backs. Two racks, one wrapped after 5 hrs, left the other one "naked". The wrapped rib (one hr) had Parkay, brown sugar and honey. Uncovered the wrapped rib and let both finish off for about a half hour (did cover both with...

    Excessive Smoke Level

    New to this forum but not forums in general. Tried searching but coming up empty. Bought a GMG (and GMG pellets) and tried it this past weekend. Not sure if it's the pellets or me but I thought the grill produced excessive smoke. Is there a pellet that will produce less smoke? I realize I now...
