    Smoked brisket....

    I plan to smoke a 12 lb brisket this weekend for about 24 hours, which means I will start about 4:00 pm on Saturday for a 6:00 pm Sunday dinner. My question is if I double it to 2 12 lb briskets, will that double the time required? I will be using a Masterbuilt 40" electric smoker with mesquite...

    What to buy now that my grill is dying

    I have the Char-Griller with side fire box. They still have it at Lowes. I have had it three years, use it every weekend and at least once in the middle of the week. Always cover it and clean the ashes out after every use. It is holding up well. But now that I also have a pellet grill/smoker, I...

    Pit Boss at Menards

    My dome gauge seems to agree with my Maverick. Both show about 240 when the dial is on 220.  At 240 on dial it runs about 265.

    Pit Boss at Menards

    UPDATE on the Pit Boss 820: I called Dansons and told them all the symptoms. The very nice guy I spoke to said it sounds like the igniter is bad. He sent me another one and it took about 5 minutes to put in. Now this smoker is working great. Temp is easy to set and it runs about 20 degrees...

    ABT's are always good while drinking cold ones.

    Smoking on the Beach?

    I think having your smoker right there would be cool, and nothing beats ribs right off the fire. Depends I guess if you plan to go in the water and play at other things, might get to busy to tend the smoker. Me, I don't care much for the water here on Texas beaches so I usually take a smoker or...

    To me, the Texas rub is too salty, but I love his original rub!

    Pit Boss at Menards

    I would take it back but I live 160 miles from the nearest Cabela's, so I don't plan to be there soon. MY bad for buying it from a store so far away!

    Pit Boss at Menards

    I was eager to try my new Pit-Boss this weekend. First, it is plugged in an outdoor outlet in the backyard and it trips the GFCI every time the igniter comes on. So as an experiment I first moved the garage fridge off that GFCI as the combination of the fridge kicking on and the grill might be...

    Pit Boss at Menards

    I bought the Pit-Boss at Cabela's for $399 and was very excited to try it. My problem isthat everytime the igniter comes on it trips the gfci on the outdoor plugs. Do you think the gfci is bad or the grill is likely bad? Perhaps I should replace the gfci first and see if that fixes it. But at...

    Need some input on quickies

    I like to mix up boudain sausage with cream cheese and stuff in halved jalapenos, then wrap in bacon and coat in Jeff's rub. Then about 45 minutes at 250 and they are ready. If you want them really hot, pull out the seeds when you half the pepper, then process the seeds and the white pulp in a...
