    My "Wi-Fi" Maverick ET-73

    I have searched the interweb high and low but alas I have not been able to find a Wi-Fi digital thermometer. I know it sounds like a crazy and trivial option. For me to go off site to be able to monitor my smoker temps a few miles away from work while catching a few zzz's or running errands its...

    MES 40" busted element.

    I've owned a MES 40" all stainless w/ window for over a year now and about two weeks ago the element went cold while I was smoking some peppers. Thank the smoking gods it didn't break the night before as I was smoking 45 pounds of pork butt overnight! Using the unit 40-60 hours a month for over...

    Holy Whaa It's Been Awhile! Two Butts w/ Q-View!

    Sorry it's been so long everyone! It's great to be back, sorta... I kinda been on hiatus for the last six or seven months as I've been relocating from the Midwest to the Northwest. Alas I've come from the land of beef to conquer the land of lumberjacks with my tasty pork! Really though my Uncle...

    Spares and Baby Backs! Cooking for friends and myself!

    Been so busy the last couple weeks smoking other peoples food I nearly forgot what it's like to sit back toss a few beers back and smoke some treats for myself and good friends. Not to say I didn't eat good, I did a turkey and 48 brats for my bro's graduation, and 10 slabs of spare's for a...

    A little ribby here… A little ribby there… A little ribby everywhere! [Qview]

    Doing a few ribs for my friends Aunt’s birthday tomorrow. It’s only 15 racks don’t judge me! I have to say that I made a few friends at the grocery store earlier when I picked them up. I never knew a cart full of meat could attract the ladies! Not the cheapest at $1.99 a pound, but my brothers...

    I cooked myself... [Qview]

    I had a bad accident with my smoker this last Wednesday. What happened was the charcoal went out after just lighting, which is fairly common with the way the firebox on my smoker is setup. We have often resolved this by spraying a little more fluid inside and re-lighting without issue. This...

    Smoked Candy Cabbage [Qview]

    Well I got this recipe from my dad a couple weeks ago. He learned it from an old toothless guy at a BBQ competition at the old casino he used to manage. This was extremely simple and amazingly tasty. Take equal parts of butter and dark brown sugar, we used 1 cup of each and pack them into a...

    Fatty Does Philly - [Qview]

    When Dmccurry and I had the idea of making a Philly Fatty we were faced with finding the perfect ingredients to make this dream a reality. Soon enough we found ourselves on a routine journey to the local butcher shop(who know us by name now). Luckily enough they had their famous jalapeno cheese...

    Itty Bitty Butt [Qview]

    I gave my first attempt at pulled pork the other night since I've never smoked any type of roast by myself. A little practice for what comes next, which in the near future will probably be three or four larger pork butts. This little 3.8lb butt came out pretty good, the rub I whipped up needs...

    Termites an issue?

    Well just started splitting some of the hickory I got (thanks for the help identifying it). And it appears they are full of termites. First split and right there was the queen. Smoke it still or bag it up and toss it?

    Little help identifying some wood?

    My buddy got some free "hickory" from school today. The guy who brought thought he had four trees, but three of them turned out to be Elm. He was pretty sure that it's hickory, but I'm going to say that he is a little un-knowledgeable when it comes to wood. We burnt some up, right next to some...

    BELT Sandwich

    Double Barrel Build - Indirect Heat

    Been getting questions on how the smoker my friend Dmccurry built came to be. Ask whatever you want, we'll try to answer the best we can! From what I know talking to my old man, this is a true indirect heat build. Both the barrels are 55 gallon drums and were purchased un-painted from a local...

    Tasty Bacon Treats From Omaha!

    Hey, gotta make this quick. Just got done breaking in the new smoker, I am impressed! Wanted to do something simple and fairly quick for a first time today. I had an idea after seeing a smoked side pork Qview yesterday. I needed a rack desperately to hang juicy tidbits from. When I stumbled...

    Another New Husker

    Greetings! Looks like I found the place to get started! Currently I live in Omaha Nebraska, been here about half my life and I'll be 29 in a couple months. My father is a chef and a hunter so I've grown up on tasty smoked morsels of various juicy animals. My friend that is finishing his...
