    Masterbuilt 560 ashes in cook chamber

    Last couple cooks I've been getting a lot of ashes blowing in on the food I'm cooking. I've been using Masterbuilt lump charcoal for this and don't know if that's the problem. I mostly use Kingsford briquettes and don't recall this problem. But the cook, season is young and I'm getting senile...

    Double smoking meat?

    I just got a Masterbuilt 560 Gravity smoker. After seasoning, my first smoke was some venison ring bologna. Since this was my first time with this smoker, I didn't know what to expect. Over a few hours I was able to get the meat temp up to 160. Cooled it off and let it bloom for a few hours. It...

Also picked up the cold smoker accessory for it I am replacing my Dyna-Glo 36" Vertical Charcoal Smoker I've made some pretty tasty stuff on the Dyna-Glo but I never could get the hang of regulating it and it took a lot of baby-sitting. Being more about...

    Replace three with one?

    Thanks in advance for any insights. I am not a "pitmaster" by any one's definition. I grill multiple times a week from spring through fall and do a smoke several times a month. I have a smaller Char-Broil gas grill, A Weber kettle and a Dyna-Glo Vertical offset smoker. Smoking in the Dyna-Glo...

    Finally! First smoke of the year.

    Second year smoker who has been champing at the bit to smoke something but work has kept interfering with the important things in life to an alleged retiree. Yesterday the moon and stars aligned and I was able to fire up the Dyna-Glo and smoke a 3-4# chuck roast. I tried a different charcoal...

    I may have lost my mind

    I've had3 cooks, so far, with my Dyna-Glo charcoal smoker; 2 were fantastic so I may have gotten a little cocky. At the store today, they had sirloin tip roasts on sale. I picked up a 12 pounder. Anyhow, I'm having second thoughts and some stage fright. I'm wondering: Should I try this as one...

    Liverwurst

    60 years ago, when we butchered pigs, my mom always made "liverwurst" and it was delicious. For years I've been looking for the recipe and can't find it. Maybe someone here can help? I remember they cleaned the head up and boiled it for the meat. I suspect there was some organ meat, (possibly...

    Armstrong or Butler County?

    Any smokers from this area? I'm from north of Kittanning and for all intents and purposes a raw novice with a new Dyna-Glo wide body vertical smoker.

    Deer ring bologna in offset smoker

    This will be my first time making bologna in my smoker and I'd appreciate any suggestions. In the past, I've made it in my oven and it was sort of ok. Last time was overcooked. I think because it was difficult to get a low enough temperature. I bought a mix that I had used before and it's...

    8# bone in pork loin

    Got two halves today that weigh around 8# each. I would like to do one in my offset smoker Sunday. Any guidance and tips would be greatly appreciated. Seasoning, cook time, covered or uncovered, in a pan or no, anything to help a newbie. Thank you

    Newbie with dumb questions

    I apologize for these questions but am trying to figure out how to use my equipment. I realize I don't have very good stuff but hope I can use what I have to learn until I upgrade and make some good stuff while learning. I have a Red Stone 3 in 1 grill from Tractor Supply. There was no real...

    My first smoke? Good or bad idea?

    I don't know if this is a good idea or not. I have some scrap pieces of venison in the freezer that I'd like to make into dried dog treats. I talked to someone who has dried that stuff and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to try to smoke it. I have a small smoker that is an integral...

    New to smoking

    Thank you for having this great looking site and allowing me to participate. I am new to smoking but have read a couple books. Last year, I bought RedStone8482 4 Way Charcoal & LP Gas Grill from Tractor Supply which has a small smoker attached. Unfortunately, the only documentation was the...
