    Got my New Braunfels Bandera! Here is my test run.

    She is fairly airtight. Some oven gasket when i do the rebuild will completely seal her up. The rebuild hasnt been done yet. Im looking at maybe Feb/March to do that. These are tough to find but you could have one built. I know there are plenty places online that show the dimensions in detail...

    I need suggestions on an Overnight/Early Morning Smoke vs. Reheating my ribs.

    I always do my smoking the day before we eat. After i let it rest for an hour or so, i wrap everything in foil and throw it in the fridge. The next day about an hour before serving i will reheat it in the oven at about 300 degrees until it is hot. I do not pull my pork until i reheat it the next...

    Why is my Butt tough?

    Aside from the thermometer on the smoker have you tested and/or calibrated the meat thermometer you are using to check the temp? If its showing 200 but its really only 180 you have yourself an undercooked butt. Not undercooked to where you would get sick but undercooked to where it wont pull.

    First time chicken smoke

    To get crispy skin just bump the temp up at the end. You can smoke the chicken at whatever temp you want. Just for the last 10 min or so, open your vents up and let it hit 350-400 and youll get your skin crisp. You have to be careful not to let that dry your chicken out though. Ive done it...

    Questions on Cornish Hens

    Marinading after brining will actually remove some of the brining effect, which in essence is infusing flavor and moisture from the brine. Brining infuses the meats cells with flavor and moisture through the process of osmosis. Ill try to explain how brining works and why you dont want to...

    I need some guidance on my first smoking voyage

    I dont mop anything. I have a water bottle that is about half water half apple juice and 1 shot of scotch or bourbon and mist my meat when i am flipping it or checking on it.

    Pre-partytime prep

    Just as piney said, once you get to the point where you foil your meat, just finish it in the oven. Seems like a lot of people are saying pull the meat once it comes off the smoker then bag it and use it the next day, but i have tried both ways and personally think it is juicer and better...

    Pulled Pork, Baby Backs and Brisket

    You know i didnt notice too big of a difference between marinating or injecting. I think you get a little more of the injection flavor when you inject, but it seemed to be more moist when i marinated it. It is a lot less work to marinate it instead of injecting so i think i will marinate it...

    Pulled Pork, Baby Backs and Brisket

    Here is my Memorial Day contribution! I tried marinating my Butt and Brisket this time instead of injecting it. I figured if i didnt poke holes in it it might be a little juicier.... not that i ever cook anything dry, but i wanted to try it out anyways. I marinated them both for about a day and...
