    Smoke stack size

    Hey guys- I have a reverse flow smoker that I had made. I had it made before I ever heard of feldon's calculator. I ran my dimensions through calculator--my present smoke stack is 2" square tubing that is 7" long , which is grossly undersized according to feldon. Here is my question: is it ok...

    damaged Big green egg, would you buy

    I think if it sustained a hit from something hard, like ice, it would have fracture lines, I think dcarch is correct. Get a new lid for it and enjoy.

    Ribs and chicken question

    I plan on smoking some ribs and chicken thighs for supper tonight--I just lit my kamado joe. I have never smoked thighs before. I understand they need a higher temp around 275 for crispier skin.

    When and when not to use a cure?

    I forgot to mention: I believe actual wood smoke is antibacterial in nature. This helps in the curing process, at least for the exterior of the meat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When and when not to use a cure?

    I haven't rechecked the temp in the big chief lately,(I believe it's in the 140+ range)--for 4hrs. Then I keep the finished product in a ziplock bag in the fridge. Should I be using the pink salt?? (Cure #1) --Probably-I need to do some research- Will adding cure change the flavor profile...

    When and when not to use a cure?

    I also never use a cure on jerky. My technique is marinating in a soy based liquid followed by placing it in the big chief smoker. Best jerky ever made. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Types of wood

    How about a Bradford pear tree wood for smoking?ive never used it or heard of anybody using it. We see them all over the place here in MS. They don't produce fruit, more of an ornamental tree..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HELP FOR PIZZA PROBLEM !!!!!

    I am not a pizza guru-those other guys are--that being said, I had the exact problems you did with the sticking to the peel. I found the best/easiest solution was using parchment paper. I use a kamado joe with a pizza stone. Pizza slides right off the peel onto the pizza stone. Sent from my...
