    Any Mother's Day Smoking Plans?

    Been at least a year since I've busted out the smoker. It's a rarity that I cook, so I figure mother's day is as good a day as any. I'll be doing some Memphis style baby backs on Sunday. What are you all planning!?

    Memphis in the Desert - Babyback Q view

    It's been 5 months since my last confession Q-view. My in laws came to visit from Korea have been eating nothing but Korean food the entire time they've been here. I decided they needed a taste of real American food, not just burgers and fries. Made some Memphis in May babybacks and they turned...

    Smokin' tomorrow!

    Firing up the smoker tomorrow for some spare ribs with Jeff's rub. It has already been an adventure and I haven't even started cooking yet. Went to put rub on my ribs and realized I don't have any yellow mustard... used dijon... hope it cooks out lol. As I was mixing my rub together, I realized...

    Bison Burgers with Jeff's Rub!

    So after getting some burger advice from the SMF'ers, I tried my hand at bison burgers today. Didn't know I was going to do bison, just happened to stumble across it while shopping for burgers at the commissary.  I used Jeff's Rub as my seasoning. I cut the recipe in 1/4 and still had more than...

    Need a definitive burger guide

    I need some help. I don't think I've ever made a burger that was worth a damn and I'm looking for a dummy guide on how to get good simple burgers. Anyone have some a good resource or care to post their process (in detail)? I'd like to make some burgers this week probably using Jeff's rub. Cheers!

    I'm back!

    Hey everyone, It's been awhile since I've been around, so I thought I'd re-introduce myself. I've been in Korea for the last three years and left my smoker in storage since I knew I'd be living in a high rise apartment. I'm back in the US now and my smoker just showed up today, so this weekend...

    Oven Methods

    *Disclaimer* I would not be oven baking ribs if I had the choice. It is embarrassing to even post this, but I am desperate. I have been living in Seoul for a year and a half and left my smoker in storage because I knew I'd have no place to smoke at. I have occasionally had ribs at restaurants...

    First Pork Shoulder w/ Q-view

    Doing my first shoulder today. They are calling for isolated thunderstorms, so lets hope that they are isolated somewhere else. Got off to a decent start this morning; I got the smoker fired up pretty quickly and the shoulder is on. My ET 73 receiver isn't getting any readings though, so I have...

    Looking to smoke my first butt

    Thus far I have only smoked ribs and my wife has been wanting me to do pulled pork, so I think I'm gonna give it a go this weekend. I am a bit lost in the sauce, if you will, about the whole process.  In Jeff's 5-day, he talks about prepping the butt the same way you would ribs pretty much. Do...

    Bring the Rain! (Memphis in May ribs w/ Q-view)

    My brother-in-law is here to visit from Korea and has never had smoked ribs, so I am going to blow his mind today. It has been storming off and on all day, but since there is a break in the weather I am going for it. My wife liked the Memphis in May recipe I used last time, so I am going to try...

    I haven't smoked since October and I have been craving some good ribs. My wife has been complaining every time she has ribs that they aren't good as mine, so now I have the chance to make her happy. I'm about to get the smoker fired up, cleaned and ready to go.

    Stout-Spiked Spareribs w/ Qview

    I'm back from my deployment and it is time to get the smoker fired up! Last night we invited some friends over and I decided to go with a recipe I found in a Better Homes and Gardens grilling magazine. I was very happy with the Minion method for the charcoal and didn't have any of the heating...

    Homeward Bound

    My tour of duty in Iraq is coming to an end, which means by this time next week, hopefully I will be firing up my smoker. This will be my second smoke (I purchased my WSM while I was home on R&R) and I am stoked! My first smoke turned out quite well and I was quite happy to find that it even...

    First Smoke - WSM - Kansas City Spare Ribs

    I set put together my WSM yesterday. This will be my first smoke ever, so I'll keep this post updated as I go along. Enjoy the ride! The WSM was easier to put together than it looked. After it was put together, I did the seasoning. I was confused about the water pan and why it sat directly on...

    Digital Thermometers Necessary?

    The majority of posts I see dealing with thermometers are digital this, remote that. What about a good old fashioned analog thermometer? I am a bit of a cheapo (I can't help it, I'm young and married), and I would rather not spend 50 bucks on a thermometer at the moment. Do constant updates on...

    Buying First Smoker

    I plan on buying a smoker in a few weeks here while I am home for R&R. I was thinking about getting a horizontal with the offset box like a Brinkmann smoke n grill or smoke n pit (they are the same thing it seems). Some of the reviews on it worry me though, it seemed like a bunch of...
