    Charcoal Smokers and Wood Chunk Amounts, Does It Really Make Sense?

    This thought string has plagued me for a few years, so maybe some more experienced pit masters can lend a hand. Why is the general consensus to only put 4 or 5 chunks (tennis ball size) of flavor wood in your coals for long burns when cooking with charcoal? Stick burners run all wood, all the...

    How's Everyone Braving the Arctic Blast?

    Hasn't been above 0 degrees f for nearly a week here. Overnight lows have been in the -20 range. Had some cheeses I was going to cold smoke this weekend but I don't thing frozen smoking is a thing. Luckily I picked up a sous vide on black Friday, so I'll be doing some steaks for valentine's day...

    Input Needed. Cured Turkey and a 22" WSM.

    My dad has requested a smoked turkey this year. He fondly remembers a supply company giving his company a smoked bird every year that he says "tasted like ham". This leads me to believe it's a cured smoked bird. I've got a plan to do a 5 day eq brine with the cure and inject the turkey @ 10%...

    Zero Charcoal Experience - First Pork Butt and Brisket

    I've been smoking on a hand me down GMG Daniel Boone for about 3 years now. Even though the results were good, I've always felt like the food I was putting out could be better. All summer I've been researching, making notes, comparing prices, and trying to decide between a stick burner or a 40"...
