    Building and Tending your heat/smoke source.

    Smoking Beef . . .in general.

    Good Afternoon All, So yesterday was my first smoke of the season.  It was a bit on a whim, the wife and I don't do much on Easter but enjoy the day we have together.  She came across some nice Prime Rib a few days back so one way or the other we were gonna eat it. Now typically, I reserve the...

    Good day for a brisket!

    looks great.  My first Brisket was a bummer but it was my second or third smoke.  It came out like a well done London Broil  (my smoked London Broils are great ironically). I see you injected it with broth, that may be the key for me.  I don't know why but I though Brisket was a naturally fatty...

    Theres a first time for everything.

    I will take this advice because you are a fellow Philadelphian. Seriously though, I got some nice racks from the Amish butcher @ Booths Corner.  My girl and I smoked 2 racks in foil for about 3 hrs.  They were ok, but it was my first go.  I don't think i cooked long enough.  Oddly enough we...

    question for all you wood burners

    I was hesitant to say what i used last time, in my soul it didn't feel right using match light for smoker fuel. I repent and will give the remaining amt to the neighbor.

    question for all you wood burners

    keeping temp. in my smoker

    i most likely have the same Grill/smoker as you do and ive noticed similar problems.  I tend to just work through it honestly.  Im not about to bust out a fan or burn my lips off blowing into the box. Ive noticed that poking the fire works well and can get the heat up.  Im still looking for...

    1st Baby Back Ribs
