    I saw that. The original Allman Brothers are getting thinner.

    Should I smoke a while Chicken?

    I'll second the wet brine. I've been using Tuffy Stone's wet brine and its made a world of difference in not only how juicy the bird is but also flavor . Its a bit of a pain as it has to be made a day or two before, but its excellent .

    New member. The smoker I bought is out of my league.

    In late 1940's, my Dad's three older brothers left my Granddad's family farm in Seminole County, Okla. for Bakersfield. One worked for Sun Oil, another on drilling rigs, but the third repaired farm machinery, some kind of picking machines or something like that. They lived their whole...

    Should I smoke a while Chicken?

    I do mine whole or halved, spatchcocked makes it a lot easier. Beer can chicken puts the bird on the grate vertically, with different temps at grate level than above the grate. Spatchcock gets more even heating as it all lays flat on the grate. Its not hard. It was my first cook on a WSM...

    I've had Santana playing a lot. Primarily, his 2007 album called " Ultimate Santana " which has a few of his old hits from 70's but mostly tracks from " Supernatural " and " Shaman " . I've had this one with Michelle Branch earwormed all day today , really enjoying Santana's guitar tone

    New member. The smoker I bought is out of my league.

    That piece came from a " shale shaker " . Its part of a drilling rig. Mud is a liquid with high viscosity, its water and barite and maybe some other stuff I've forgotten, that is circulated down the inside of drill pipe. It " jets " out the drill bit and comes back up to the surface on the...

    Hey cat people, I got a question

    I've got no problem with cats. I'm just wondering why they have to be outside all night to roam the neighborhood, that's if they're not feral. The most common result from my Google searches was that it was irresponsible to let the cat roam. The cat could get run over on the street or other...

    Just bought first offset smoker to learn on! Help me fix it...She's a cheap one

    You're thermometer in the lid is going to be analog. A remote with a probe will be digital. Digital temp gauges react almost immediately to temp changes while analogs are slower. So the two will never agree, or rarely agree. And managing the fire by the digital gauge is a bit more...

    Hey cat people, I got a question

    But I like the rabbits. I plant a winter cover on my garden in the early fall. Mostly rye grass. It did not take long for a rabbit to find it and he's lived in my backyard all winter. I would see him every morning eating on the rye grass. I tilled the garden couple months ago and left a...

    If the 1050 sells for $900, I think there's enough upgrades to justify the $1500 for this XT. I'd still like to see a total weight comparison between the two.

    Hey cat people, I got a question

    I'm just wondering if the cat owners have a good reason for letting them run. I've googled it and not gotten any decent answers. The City here is not an option. They can't keep up with loose dogs. Animal control has more than they can deal with and the City doesn't want to spend the...

    Hey cat people, I got a question

    Do you let your cat out over night ? My security cameras are picking up a cat in my backyard every night, between 1 am and 3 am. I'm thinking this has to be a feral cat. I can't imagine any pet owner letting the cat run the neighborhood all night ? Sunday evening, we sat on the patio and...

    Cherry syrup on baby backs ?

    I'd love to source some cherry smoke wood that's NOT kiln dried. Not a lot of cherry orchards around here. I just threw out half a bag of B&B that I bought for T-Giving 2022. I put my moisture meter to it and there was not enough moisture to even make the meter register.

    Cherry syrup on baby backs ?

    Raichlen must really like this cherry baby back recipe. I've found where he did the same recipe in his Project Smoke series, season 3, episode 309 that aired in July 2017. Except this one, he brushed the cherry syrup on the ribs after they'd been on the smoker for 2 hours at 280* , then put...

    31$ 11.5 pound brisket smoked up

    Looks excellent. I smoked a brisket two weeks ago and did similar. S/P and put it on the offset and smoked it for 13 hours. No wrap. Nothing else. And it may've been the best brisket I've ever done.

    I think there was a thread in this forum when it was announced last fall. Its gotta be thicker metal than on the MB560. I'd like to see a weight comparison between it and the 1050 , or even the 800. It appears to be a better quality controller. I don't recall all the smaller...
