    Thoughts and opinions on hanging ribs on WSM

    Thanks for the replies all! and JR, those ribs look mighty good! I think I may try a run of ribs hanging with the water pan in place but wrapped and empty.

    Thoughts and opinions on hanging ribs on WSM

    Hi JR, I actually purchased the expandable rack for the WSM. My thought for hanging them was set it and forget it... won't have to worry about temp differences between the two racks and no flipping. Where my WSM rib hangers at!? lol!

    Thoughts and opinions on hanging ribs on WSM

    I also plan to rub and let the ribs sit at least 30+ hours before smoking... I heard that when hanging the drippings tend to wash away the rub. I'll give the ribs ample time to marinate... There's no foiling here so I'm guessing the rib texture wouldn't be fall off the bone.

    Thoughts and opinions on hanging ribs on WSM

    My lovely lady just purchased a 22.5" WSM for me. New 2014 model with the grommet for the temp probes and all. Broke her in this weekend and getting ready to smoke some ribs this coming weekend. I purchased the expandable hanging rack for the WSM and was thinking of smoking 6 racks. I see...

    Master Forge smoker at Lowes

    I've been using this smoker for just about six months now. I've made some very good smokes using this propane smoker. One most recent struggle has been to get the temps low enough for smoking sausage. After reading some threads here and across the web I found an 'acceptable to me' solution...

    What size plate for Kielbasa...

    Thanks for the replies! I definitely think I overworked the meat going through the grinder... I'll take it slower next batch. Digging, any differences without soy?

    Maverick Model ET-732

    I just received my brand new ET 732 last night. It looks like a nice piece... First thing I did was install the batteries, connect both probes, set it on a wooden cutting board and walked away for two hours. When I came back one probe was reading 64 while the other was reading 66. Shouldn't...

    What size plate for Kielbasa...

    Thanks for the replies all... On my first batch I used the bigger of the two kitchen aid plates that it came with... the consistency was too mushy even after putting the cut meat in the freezer. I'm beginning to think I may have overstuffed the grinder thus causing the bad consistency.

    What size plate for Kielbasa...

    I'm getting ready for my second run of Kielbasa and in an effort to achieve the right consistency I purchased a set of grinder plates for my KA Grinder. Thinking back on my first Kielbasa run I think I may omit the soy protein with hopes of getting a bit chunkier consistency. Here are the...

    Vacuum Sealer Bags & Supplies - Discount Coupon

    What is the difference between the Premium and Economy Rolls? The 11.5 x 50ft roll seems like a good deal but curious to know what the difference is between the Premium rolls. Thanks!

    First time sausage making and it happens to be Kielbasa...

    The good ole regular garlic will definitely be getting attention next round. I agree the elephant garlic didn't have the smack in the face I look forward to... Venture, I also enjoy a coarser grind like traditional Ukrainian Kielbasa. How do you accomplish your coarse grind... I believe the...

    first attempt at sausage making

    Hang in there bud... I just finished my first sausage making and it was pretty seamless. If your time is precious like mine is; invest in a $65 Grizzly 5lb stuffer... down the line upgrade the gears if you feel the need. It took me less than 5 minutes to unload a 5lb canister into 35-38mm...
