    Looking for a specific bbq sauce recipe...

    I'm looking for a fairly specific sauce recipe, that had been over on the old Smoke Ring forums. I found it late last week, but didn't screen shot or copy it. Went to grab it today, so I could get it made for ribs tomorrow. And the forum is now gone. Don't know who posted it, but, I know it...

    Turkey help, please

    I smoked one turkey for Thanksgiving, and another yesterday for today's dinner. Ran into the same issues with both, and I can't figure out where the issue is. So here is what I know. 22.5" WSM, Blues Hog Hog Logs. All vents wide open. Smoker was running at about 260 for the most part...

    Yesterday's turkey

    It's that time of year, again. Smoked a turkey yesterday, and ate way too much. Sides were interesting this year, but very good. Had my brother, plus my parents over for dinner. Dad ate exceptionally well. I was surprised, because at least twice a week mom talks about how 3-4 days of the...

    First picnic shoulder, need advice

    I'm trying to plan out my smoke for this weekend. WSM 22.5 with RO lump and oak, is the plan, at this moment, along with the inkbird. May try to pick up some fruit wood this Saturday, to add in. Same place I would pick up the fruit wood also has B&B briquettes. Should I get that? The goal...

    First turkeys for the WSM

    The oldest daughter, her husband, and 3 of the grandchildren came down for Thanksgiving. The wife wanted a big bird, like 25#, and I told her why not do 2-3 smaller instead. Then I talked her into me smoking them, to save room in the oven. So off she goes, with my instructions: we want them...

    2 in 1... first cook on the wsm, first chuck

    So there I was, digging through the freezer. Found a chuck roast in there. Wife had me get it out, and I managed to talk her into letting me smoke it. So, I fill the wsm with RO lump. Find half a dozen or so big chunks and set them aside for lighting. Mixed in several pieces of apple...

    Stalled chuck roast

    At this point I'm very concerned. I threw the chuck on several hours ago. I know the smoker was sitting in sunlight for about half the afternoon. The chuck has been stalled, for a lack of a better word, for the past 3 or 4 hours. I was expecting a stall around 170 or 180. Not at 2 hours to...

    My new smoker

    After a few threads asking questions, and pestering a member or two about their specific set up, and then sitting on the fence, and... forgetting to get the money from my awards account at work, I finally ordered a 22" WSM. Arrived yesterday while I was at work. Put it together today...

    Things have changed, suggestions needed please.

    My plans had been to modify the Masterbuilt smoker my wife got me. That is still the plan, however, I just got handed a piece of news that means those plans may need to be shelved for a bit. My oldest daughter, with her husband and kids, are now expected here for Thanksgiving. That means that...

    My first fatty

    As said in my chicken thread, I got the urge to smoke. Today, I did 3 new things at once. Tested out my smoker. Did some chickens, and my first 2 fatties. One I went for a pizza one. The other a club. The pizza one was pulled at 171, the club, once I moved the probe some, turned out to...

    Chicken thighs

    So today I decided to run my smoker, even though it's still unmodified. So, I prepped some skinless boneless chicken thighs. Seasoning I kept semi simple. SPOG, plus a bit of sage, basil, and smoked paprika. Since the smoker doesnt hold temps like a it should, temps were all over the place...

    I said to heck with it. (Long and pic heavy)

    Mods: if this needs moved please feel free to do so. I wasn't sure if it should go here, in the build forum, or under ECB. So I took a chance. So, a year or two ago, the wife went out and got me a smoker. Of sorts. I guess she had heard me complaining about wanting to smoke again. The one...

    Recommendations requested please

    I need new cookers. Stores I have local are Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, Academy, Cabela's, Walmart, and not quite as local but close, Tractor Supply. My last offset smoker I gave away, when I transferred out to Guam. While there, I converted an Electric ECB to charcoal. I gave it away when I...

    Hello from Kansas

    I'm new here, but not to smoking. Used to hang around another forum, more reading than posting. Unfortunately, the activity in that forum seems to have lowered drastically since I last participated in it. I've used an ECB, a Brinkman offset, and converted a Brinkman electric smoker to...
