    First smoke on the BellFab

    I recently put a charcoal basket in my Bellfab offset. I originally bought it for my PK360 but hated it in that grill because I think it blocked airflow. In the offset it works great. I just put a chimney of lump in the basket and a couple of splits on top and I'm good to go. My smoker runs...

    Weber SmokeFire

    I would say the pellet consumption is greater than my Grilla Silverback was. I don't know the reason for better smoke flavor but it's probably a combo of several things. The fact it has the flavorizer bars instead of a big deflector plate also plays a significant factor in my opinion.

    Weber SmokeFire

    I've had an EX6 for about a year now. Mine was a gen 1 but I installed all the upgrades which Weber sent for free before ever firing it up. I've not had many problems with mine. You do have to clean it out regularly especially after a long cook. I use drip pans which makes that pretty easy. The...

    Storing meat after smoking

    Just bought a vacuum sealer, the Inkbird with the discount code from this site is like 30 bucks. Works great for a backyard cook not using it everyday. I've cut down significantly on waste. I hated firing up the offset and burning expensive wood when I couldn't fill it up. With the vacuum sealer...

    Smoking for meal prep.

    Just bought the cheap Inkbird vacuum sealer using the discount from this site. Love the thing can buy staples like chicken breast etc at Sam's and seal in individual meal size packages. Also been doing this with brisket and pulled pork which is great for the middle of the week when we don't have...

    Plate Ribs

    I recently got some of these at Sam's Club. They never have them out since they cut them into the flanken style ribs. I saw one of their meat cutters working on them and asked if I could buy the whole plate. She went in the back and brought out a cryovac with four full plates in it. Not cheap...

    First smoke - boneless chuck beef ribs

    Here is a pretty good article about cooking at altitude. If you get it much above the boiling point where you are at it can dry out pretty easily. I usually start checking things around 198 and they are typically done at a lower temperature than people at sea level might experience...

    Question on Brisket method

    Too complicated for me but interested to see how it turns out. Malcolm Reed has a good recipe for ultra low and slow brisket on a pellet grill on his youtube channel that's worth watching if you haven't already.

    To wrap or not to wrap...

    I'm north in Weld County. I was told the Rudy's in Colorado Springs was their busiest location in the country. There was one in Greeley for a few years but it closed down not too long ago. Rudy's isn't bad but authentic BBQ joints seem to struggle here.

    To wrap or not to wrap...

    I've tried it every way and I prefer to wrap. My offset runs at 275 plus easily and I'm also in Colorado. As you know it's pretty dry here so I think wrapping helps. I prefer butcher paper or the foil boat method and have had pretty good success.

    Peach wood

    Fruita Wood company has peach readily available. The Western Slope of Colorado where they are located is well known for producing some of the best peaches in the world. I was out there a few months ago and picked up some peach chunks. It tastes great, but the smell is even better.

    Passing it on

    I'm getting rid of my trusty Weber Smokey Mountain cooker this weekend. I am from Texas originally and spent several years in Kansas City during high school and college. When I moved to Colorado I was extremely disappointed in the lack of good bbq. We have a few decent places here and there, but...

    Re Wood Prices

    Wood is expensive in Colorado. I paid 260 for a quarter cord of Pecan early this year. Oak is a little cheaper but not much. I'm ok with it though as that amount will last me for several months.

    First try at Barbacoa

    I tried beef cheeks for the first time myself. I cooked them correctly as they were really tender my wife and daughter though almost had a mutiny they weren't fans. I used beer for the braising liquid which I didn't like. Don't know if they'll make the menu again at my house.

    Needing a new smoker...talk me out of going pellet

    I agree on the gravity fed smoker. The new Char-Griller gravity fed looks nice especially for the money. i'm happy with my Weber Smokefire it produces much more smoke than my Grilla Silverback did and the temp goes up to 600 so it functions pretty well as a grill also. It's my go to during the...

    Masterbuilt Gravity 800

    I definitely don't need anymore grills, but the Char Griller gravity fed is pretty intriguing. It looks somewhat better built than the Masterbuilt and is priced well. I don't see a griddle option though. https://www.chargriller.com/products/char-griller-gravity-fed-9800-charcoal-grill
