    Temp difference between Redi Check and Oxo instant read thermometers

    Guys, thanks a million for how to properly measure the thermometers. Apologies for the late reply but was on business travel the last couple of weeks. I will do this test (the video was very helpful) and see which one is more accurate. BTW, my pork shoulder came out AWESOME, had great food...

    Temp difference between Redi Check and Oxo instant read thermometers

    Wondering if anyone can tell me how to measure the accuracy of a given thermometer. I was smoking a pork shoulder today and was using the Redi Check dual-temp thermometer to measure the temp of the smoker and pork. When it read 200 degrees, I took it out to let it cool for a couple of hours...

    Virgin run with pics

    For what it's worth, I tried the 3-2-1 method during my first attempt at ribs (babybacks) and they came out very tender BUT next time I will modify that by reducing the cooking time in foil to 1 or 1.5 hours, which has been suggested by others on this forum. I like tender but I prefer the more...

    Something tells me those old smoke masters in Kansas City never followed that recipe.

    Did an all nighter Monday night.

    Terrific looking pulled pork. I'm doing a Boston Butt tomorrow while watching football all day. I'll start it early in the morning as I have a charcoal smoker so have to attend it while I'm smoking. I hope it turns out as good as what yours looks. Nicely done.

    Brinkman - is it worth it?

    Get yourself invited to someone's house that has a charcoal smoker and see if you can taste any difference. Then you can decide for yourself if you want to go through the trouble of cleaning off the Brinkman. Love mine by the way (Smoke-n-Pit model).

    My First Smoked Babyback Ribs

    Thanks a million for the explanation. I'll definitely get the expanded metal and build a new coal basket. Is expanded metal sold as a sheet roll (that's how I bought the wire for my current basket) or do I need to ask them specifically for it? I added smoke chips throughout the first three...

    Tray to catch charcoal ash and protect wood/patio deck?

    I also have the same pad from Lowes. It's got a rough texture to it and is fire resistant and works great in helping to protect my wood deck. I had to buy two of them since I have the Brinkman SnP horizontal smoker, which is pretty long. But two of them give me plenty of space on the Firebox...

    Orion Cooker

    Is the texture of the meat the same? Reducing it to such a short cooking time is pretty attractive if the end result is just as good. I just started using a smoker and have really liked the results so far.

    Starting amount of charcoal

    Hey KC, for what it's worth, I have found in my limited time on my smoker that natural wood charcoal seems to burn quickly and not that hot. Regular charcoal briskets (e.g. Kingsford) run hotter and longer and lump charcoal burns the hottest and the longest for me. I have a Brinkman SnP so it's...

    My First Smoked Babyback Ribs

    Hey Todd, can you help me out with your comment? What is the issue with galvanized and what should I do to improve it? Always looking to make things better. Dutch, I completely agree with you that the next time I do this, I will reduce the amount of time in the foil. The ribs came out great but...

    My First Smoked Babyback Ribs

    Made my first babyback ribs in the Brinkman SnP. They came out terrific. I definitely benefited from the collective wisdom on this website so a huge thank you to everyone. First a bit of background. I made a couple of mods to the SnP based on suggestions received here. I raised the coal grate...

    Can't get Brinkman Smoke'N Pit hot enough to smoke

    By the way, I have tried Evan Williams bourbon. Like it quite a bit. I've tried just about all the major labels. Evan Williams is a good one, so is Blantons single barrel, Kentucky Spirit and Rare Breed (both Wild Turkey) as well as Elijah Craig 18 year boubon (one of my favorites). I'm getting...

    Can't get Brinkman Smoke'N Pit hot enough to smoke

    -Salt, first off Merry Christmas to you and all the other members of this forum. My first venture with the smoker went well although certainly not without mishap. I did a chicken since I had read from various other forum entries that the first one or two times are not all that good. So I wanted...

    Can't get Brinkman Smoke'N Pit hot enough to smoke

    Hey JW, not Ohio, I live in North Carolina. We're getting just the rain from a pretty bad storm that's to the west of us going from south to north that has potential for tornadoes. But while it's completely overcast today, I think there's going to be a good enough break in the rain that I can...

    Can't get Brinkman Smoke'N Pit hot enough to smoke

    Thanks Jonnie Walker. Appreciate that. I've now seen posts from Jck-Daniels and now Jonnie Walker. And here I am sitting here drinking a glass of Wild Turkey Kentuky Spirit (which is being discontinued and I have no idea why as it's a terrific burbon - but I digress). I really am learning a lot...

    Can't get Brinkman Smoke'N Pit hot enough to smoke

    Hi guys, after Jck-Dnls gave me the link to the Maverick, I thought about going to W&S to see if they had one in stock but then I ended up just ordering it online with overnight shipping to get it quickly before seeing the other suggestion about getting it from Todd. Apologies to Todd as I...
