    Brisket "Fake News"

    There is so much mis-information about smoking brisket on the www. Cooking temperature. Rubs. Marinades/injections. Style of smoker to use. Finished internal temperature.   Wrap or no wrap?  Foil or butcher paper? Rest method and time. Wood. I would like to thank the senior members of...

    You can't smoke to temp or time

    Please....the brisket is done when it's done.  Probe it.  Feel it.  Do whatever you have to do to make sure it's done.  But please don't use time or temperature as a measure of when it's done.  This is an art.  Be artistic.  Be patient.   Usually, the brisket is done when it's internal...

    Boneless skinless thighs - loss?

    Will I get any weight loss smoking boneless skinless thighs for pulled chicken? I'll be adding my BBQ sauce to keep it moist when holding for serving. Yes, I used the search tool but didn't really get an answer to this question. And while I'm here, what are your thoughts about boneless...

    Prime Rib for two with Q-View

    Just 1/4 of the the 14# monster purchased. Fired up the Klose mobile smoker for this smoke - I'm still getting used to burning wood, so I'm doing smaller cooks until I feel confident.  The smoker worked well, maintained a good 200-235 degrees and the results speaks for themselves. Also made...

    YNOT2K - St. Louis ribs - first time with AMNPS

    It was 6:00 a.m. when I rose from a sound sleep to get the smoker going - ah, the life of a pitmaster... The grow lights in the greenhouse are the only lights on this morning. Ok,  I'll be using the Masterbuilt 40 for this small cook so I turned it on.  Wow, that was easy.  So far so good...

    I may just buy this one - if the price is right

This pit is fabricated from 1/4 inch plate in the main cook chamber and smoke box as well as 3/8 inch plate...
