Back then I was using a crappy Brinkman cabinet charcoal smoker that leaked everywhere and I thought thick white smoke was a good thing. Pulled the ribs...

    Many thanks to those that have come before me. Smoked my first chuck roast today and searched the site for tips on temps, time, and if/when to wrap. This is my go to strategy for almost every cook as the wealth of information here is immense, and I'm basically still a newb. Got a 4 lb prime...

    Best app for Inkbird Wifi Grill Thermometer?

    I picked up the Inkbird Wifi thermometer, IBBQ-4T, and was wondering which app would be the best to use along with it? The instructions point me to the Inkbird Pro app, however, I've heard others use 3rd party apps such as BBQ Go. Anyone have experience with this thermometer and success with...

    How to cook thin porterhouse steaks?
