    Tapatalk Phone App screen shots

    Jeff, thanks for implementing this app! My first time using it with my iPhone and it sure looks like it's going to be much better than using the phone browser! Seems very straightforward and easy to use. Well I should wait and see if I can upload these initial screenshots before saying that...

    Sunday's Practice Turkey (Qview)

    In preparation for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday I thought I better do a test run since my last attempt smoking a turkey was some 20 something years ago, when I gave up on smoking.  Unfortunately at that time Al hadn't invented the internet yet so I didn't have SMF.   Anyway, started out...

    1st Full Packer Brisket w/Qview

    For a second weekend beef was on the menu!  I picked up the smaller of several briskets, 13 lbs 10 oz, after work last Thursday afternoon.  The plan was to trim it up, rub her down and smoke as one piece on the UDS with some Kingsford original briquettes and Mesquite chunks at 225*.  The UDS...

    Ribs Glazed 3-2-1 Qview

    Food Safety Question

    Ok, being the over concerned person that I am and still an obvious newbie...I just spent 20 1/2 hours nursing a couple 9 pound butts.  They never did reach 200* (188*).  They hit the 140* mark just over 3 hours into the smoke.  I didn't foil until I decided to go ahead and pull them.  Spritzed...

    Stubborn (Marathon) Butts!

    I'm just glad I started these 2, 9 pounders at midnight last night. lol  Trimmed them up, rubbed with Jeff's Rib Rub  and have been spritzing since the 3 hour mark with a 2 to 1 mix of apple juice and cider vinegar. Decided to give the UDS a break this weekend and use the GOSM.  The butt I done...

    2nd Butt Attempt in the UDS w/Qview

    Finished the Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) last weekend and took her on her maiden voyage last weekend with a 7 lb butt which was only "ok."  After a couple practice burns, the first butt attempt and some more reading here on SMF I finally conquered the beast! lol  The first attempt was a 12 hour...

    For all you Dallas Cowboy Fans

    Here in my little part of the world (NC), I live in a rather large diverse community right next door to one of the largest Army bases in the world (I know, you Texans are gonna say nu..ah, Fort Hood is bigger...LMAO) which may explain this obviously crazed and  obsessed Cowboy fan being here...

    UDS Build Stall (Build Stalls Over, We're Smokin' w/Qview!)

    Friday ended with some great scores...all "free" but not so fast!  Like a 15 lb brisket stalling, my UDS build has stalled for now!  Getting ready to leave work and a friend brings by an open head barrel in excellent condition.  After work I stopped by a car wash to spray out the barrel which...

    Just A Butt, ABTs to follow

    Picked up a 6 butts on sale last week for .98 cent a pound.  This one here was just over 6 lbs. Trimmed a lot of the fat cap off because I've found with the last few I've done they are plenty moist and have enough internal fat.  Plus I think with hourly spritzing and foiling at 165*, it can't...
