    New weapon in my arsenal

    I ordered and have now received my CyberQ Wi-Fi. I got it with one 25CFM fan, adapter for my WSM 22.5" and an adapter for my large trailer smoker. Won't be using the trailer smoker any more this year due to surgery on my arm, unless I heal REALLY fast though. Planning on putting it to the test...

    I'm doing my first competition this weekend! There are 3 categories, Pork Shoulder, Brisket and Chicken. I am curious what would be the best to do for turn-in for the Chicken category.

    AMNPS in a large smoker

    I have a pretty large smoker and would like to try to get some other wood flavors in my meat than what are available in my area. It is pretty difficult to find peach and pecan wood around here. I am wondering if using an AMNPS would generate enough smoke in my smoker to really impart those...

    Walmart picnic shoulder

    I went to Walmart and bought 3 picnic shoulder roasts last Saturday. They looked pretty good, I just didn't want to trek over to Sam's, as it is about 25 minutes further down the road. BIG MISTAKE! I have gotten the picnic shoulders at Walmart in the past and never had a problem. I checked the...

    Firebox

    Hi everyone. I am getting ready to use my new smoker this Friday night and wanted to get some ideas on what to do in my firebox. The guy I bought it from didn't give me what he used for a rack in it, so it's just an empty box. I went to Menards to see if I could get a few high temperature bricks...

    New Rig

    A friend of mine and I have been searching for a decent stick burner for a while now. It is hard to find a decent on for less than a couple grand! We were looking for something on a trailer with plenty of capacity, reverse flow and not in need of a ton of work. I finally found one on Craigslist...

    I am smoking meat for my nephew's graduation party next weekend. We are expecting no more than about 50 people. It starts at 1pm and runs until 5pm.
