    No smoke ring!!!! Whats the dealio?

    "The smoke ring is caused by nitric acid building up in the surface of meat, absorbed from the surface. This nitric acid is formed when nitrogen dioxide from wood combustion in smoke mixes with water in the meat. Basically it is a chemical reaction between the smoke and the meat." Smoke rings no...

    Smoke my first pork butt, what a disaster!!!!, Please help

    As far as meats go, Winco is def. NOT the place to be buying good cuts of meat. Notice the EXP date on all the meat they sell, it goes bad within a day or two. I've noticed they repackage meats from the stores that couldn't sell it. Try Sam's Club or even Stater Bro's or Ralphs, anywhere but...

    Pellets in a gas smoker??

    Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try and get some pics up this weekend since it's difficult to explain. But I have noticed quite a bit more white smoke after switching to pellets.

    Pellets in a gas smoker??

    Just got a Brinkmann gas cabinet smoker. Works really well, and is much less work than my charcoal smoker. Anyhow I bought some pellets to use in the gas smoker, I was told you can use them even if you don't have a pellet smoker. Problem is my smoker has started to "leak" out the top and build...

    Good ol' ECB first timer here....

    Thanks for the reply porklvr, I'm pretty sure I was adding too many chips. I smoked a 3 lb shoulder last night with only about half as many chips, came out perfect! I did make a newbie mistake and started "smoking" without the water pan for the first 20mins, haha guess I had it lightly grilled...

The sides and bottom looked great, but the top looked almost blackened...
