    Distinguishing different wood flavors?

    I've been smoking for over 20+yrs. And have used everything from a charcoal to stick burner, pellet and gasser smoker. I've catered several weddings and parties so I know a couple of things but not claiming to be a know it all. I don't know if it's just me but from the beginning I don't really...

    This is probably on here somewhere, but it makes me laugh every time I read it. Texas Chili Cook Off If you can read this whole story without laughing, then there’s no hope for you. I was crying by the end. This is an actual account as relayed to paramedics at a chili cook-off in Texas...

    After the smoke recipes

    Hi everyone, with everything going on in the world lately I thought a leftover thread may be in order. I am interested in other peoples creations with left over smoked goodies. For example I recently smoked a 10# pork shoulder, but pp sandwiches get old quick (to some in my house) I personally...

    New KBQ smoker

    I recently purchased a KBQ C-60. I finally had a chance to fire it up and take it on a test run a couple of days ago. I AM IN LOVE WITH IT!!! If you like the steadiness of a pellet or electric smoker, but like to tinker with and play with fire (in a good way) this is the smoker for you! I smoked...

    Pork Prices

    Over the last few weeks I have noticed the price on pork going up dramaticly. Early Feb the price of pork shoulder was $1.79lb today at the same store $3.19. After seeing a few people on this forum talk about it I did some research about a virus that has hit the swine industry. It may pay to...

    So Valentines Day was an eventful one this year (long story short she said yes) and now I have been elected to prepare the main coarse. We have decided to do pulled pork and brisket. My question is how much to make? We are keeping it relatively small, probably 80ish people. I have 3 smokers so I...

    Anyone have or tried a Greasyhill customs smoker?

    For the last several months I've been wavering back and forth about either building or buying a trailer mounted reverse flow smoker. I've looked at Lang's and Meadow Creek and really like them but they come with a hefty price tag, I recently stumbled across greasyhillcustoms and from the looks...

    Football Sunday pulled pork

    Put a 8 3/4lb Boston on the smoker this morning on the UDS. I used a base recipe from forluvofsmoke and tweaked it. It is a blueberry, cherry, apple rub. It smelled great on the smoker and can't wait to try it. Last night I scored the fat cap I applied the rub last night and put it in the...

    Need some help identifying this wood.

    I went to the local sand and gravel yard that also sells firewood they only sell pine or oak. I told the guy what I was doing and he said I could have whatever I needed for free. So I got 3 large splits and will use my miter saw to cut them into chunks. Just wanted a second opinion to make sure...

    Apple Powder?

    Has anyone dehydrated apples or any fruit for that matter and then used a spice grinder to make it into a powder? I am wanting to make a few different rubs but wasn't sure if the fruit in the rub would go bad in the pantry.

Second question is to have it powder coated, is high temp powder really necessary, considering they cure it at 400-450 and i...
