    Timing

    To me the only way to do this is like I have done in the past. Smoke it early, Yes you can keep it warm for quite a while, but for events I have done, or smoke it up, put in crock pots and set in the frig, Transport, then plug them in 3 hours before serving time adding chicken broth for chicken...

    Supllueer Smoke Generator

    I have the smoke-it also. Yes the airflow is too low and it most likely will never work for cold smoking. I would try to find another "box" of some type to use. Myself I made a cold smoker out of an old whisky barrel sat on the end and sliced it for a lid a lot of years ago. I posted some...

    Sweet Baby Ray’s

    I like the SBR's but it has MSG in it that I do not do well with. I found a copy-cat of it to make up in a sauce pan and doctor it up a little to fit my taste buds. One batch fits well in an empty 32oz Catsup bottle to keep in the frig. Gets used frequently.

    Pork butt not climbing fast enough

    DSmith 1651 By what you have said I would think most likely you have not necessary "overloaded" your smoker, but yes, you loaded it heavier than usual and changed the dynamics of the same amount of heat it is producing which is getting sucked up by the extra cooler meats. No different than if...

    I made some amazing St. Louis ribs yesterday

    I have noticed the ambient humidity makes a difference also especially if opening and closing the lid more than absolutely needed.

    Reheating pulled pork for a party

    Late here, but I have found chicken broth works well to keep PB moist while reheating. Hope everyone has a great game day.

    Concrete Protection from Grease and Rust

    Depends on what you want for a visual, the above are good ideas. I have an aircraft hangar I applied the below product to and yes every tire track that was on the floor from the steel erection petibone before applying is still there, (I should have pressure washed) but no new ones that wont...

    St Louis ribs...need help

    Another revived thread, but might help someone new here with questions or deciding what to do. I have a very slow airflow electric smoker. I just salt and pepper at 225' set it and forget it for 5-6 hours. Then take a look and see how pulled back from the bone they are and how flexy they are...

    Pinto Beans and Ham

    Looks great, I do something similar in my crock pot. With a ham, usually spiral cut, labeled "fully cooked ham", I put it in for two to three more hours in my smoker to get it to what my taste buds consider "done" with a little smoke. I cheat and intentionally do not clean it down too close...

    Pork butt overnight on Pit Boss 820 XL - only 153 deg after 10 hours at 200 F. Should I be concerned that it was <140F for hours?

    I do mine a little different, have a Smoke-it electric that has little temp swings like an oven that don't bother me, but I set it to average about 225 real rack temp and I set it and forget it until close to being done. Yes I worked with PID controls many years, we are not melting plastic to...

    Anyone Know About Ham Radios??

    Iffen you have a fear of plugging it in. Set it out on your driveway tuned to a local AM radio channel with the volume turned up with an extension cord. Plug the extension cord in away from it and listen for a pop, or local commercials. Ha Many of those radios are still functioning as built...

    Anyone Know About Ham Radios??

    Ham Radio, also known as Amateur Radio is a Unique hobby, been doing it 35 years or so. If we can find 12VDC we can do what we do and talk with others locally or around the world. No cell phones, no internet, just spewing electrons off our antennas to other antennas locally or around the...

    Knife Set $12.99

    Aw man, I was going to pick up another set I have been happy with for the lake house but it is for Prime members only at that price. Darn. Thanks for posting

    Anyone Know About Ham Radios??

    Nifty, and yes the capacitors could be dried out and will make a pop when shorted and be a little smelly, but not something that is big explosion or a ball of fire or anything like that. I would take it out to the garage or patio and plug it in to give it a try. If everything seems normal and...

    Temp probe cleaning tip.

    I also use a Scotch Bright scrubby and Dawn on the probes, but I hold the probe just below the wire/probe junction and never let it get wet from scrubbing or rinsing. I like many others have destroyed probes by letting them get wet where the wire goes in. It is such a common problem, I have...

    Brisket travel and timing dilema

    I have done this several times when expecting to feed a large crowd a few days later. Similar here as "Fueling Around" suggested, but I use a crock pot because I knew their oven was going to be busy with other foods getting ready for the feast. I smoke mine early and slice and store in a...

    Smoked balogna

    I do mine a little different. I slice the chub into about 3/8 inch thick round slices and coat with BBQ sauce on a baking sheet. Then I put each slice on a pretty hot smokey grill surface and cook/smoke till they are almost singed and flip over to finish off the other side. To me it is a lot...

    Bacon Up

    I saw it and did some research on the BaconUp product a few years back. Seems they are connected with producers of restaurant packaged already fried bacon who have a lot of leftover grease and I was told the BaconUp people collect it and use a three stage filter process to clean it up to...
