    Gonna Try Ribs

    I've smoked plenty of butts and briskets, but never ribs.  Wife wants some baby backs.  What do I need to know?  I prep my brisket and butts with mustard, then dry rub and start smoking.  Everything has come off nicely.  Are ribs any different?

    July 4th Smoke - First Butts

    I've always done briskets or birds, but pig is on the menu this year.  I'm cooking for about 20 people, so I'm thinking 20-24 lbs spread out among 4 butts.  My plan is to start smoking them the morning of the 3rd and re-heat the next day out of foil pans. I think I've pretty well settled on...

    Another Turkey Question

    Found turkeys on sale for .59 cents / lb at Publix today, so I bought the smallest bird they had.  Right around 16.5 lbs.  Being the impatient person I am, I started thawing the frozen block of bird in water, still in the shrink wrap.  It's heading to the fridge now, with the idea in my head of...

    First Turkey with Q-View

    Here's what has turned into a practice run. My wife who's never really liked the brisket I always smoke loves this turkey and won't let it leave the house to go to dinner tomorrow night. Next year I'll smoke a whole turkey and let the rest of the family enjoy.

    Exploding Concrete

    I haven't raked leaves in a while, so I decided to get a chimney of Cowboys going on my concrete patio. I lit it off then went to my storage area to put away some ammo that just arrived. When I got done with that, I checked on my coals. They were ready to go, but I was wearing open shoes. I...

    Smoke a Turkey with Brining?

    Ever try it? I don't have a good way to brine it before smoking.

    First rack of ribs w/ Qview

    Marinated them, and rubbed 'em last night. They got a good 11 hour soak in the good stuff. Just got them on the smoker about 45 min ago.

    It's that time again....

    Lit off the smoker about an hour and a half ago. 15 pounds worth of brisket just went on. Been marinating all night in the good stuff. This time I have pictures if someone will tell me how to Qview it. I'm way too computer stupid to figure it out on my own.....

    2nd Attempt

    Since the first brisket didn't come out so well, I decided to try again today. We had some good weather for sitting outside with a few beers. Hit almost 70 today with clear skies. This time I went for a bigger cut. Almost 14 lbs this go 'round. Started the process last night with my dry...

    Tough Brisket. Help!

    Well, I just pulled my first brisket off the smoker. I ended up getting about a 1 to 1 1/2 in. thick brisket that was a little over 1.5 lbs. It smoked for about 3 and a half hours, then I thought it might be a little over-done, so I pulled it. Turns out I was right. It's rather chewy. The...

    Another Pro 830 Question

    Hey folks. Just got my Pro 830 last night. I've seen lots of useful info on the mods that I can do to this thing, but what about breaking in it? I think I saw something on here ages ago about spraying Pam inside before lighting it off for the first time. Any helpful hints before I get this...
