    Hi. I'm noggin, and I have a dirty smoker.

    As the title says, my smoker is filthy. I've owned this particular smoker for about seven years and it has never had a proper cleaning. The inside of the thing is covered in, what I assume is, soot. It generally stays put, but I've had it drop flakes onto the meat on more than one occasion. I...

    Cook-In-Bag Ribs - Sacrilegious or Phenomenal?

    St. Louis cut ribs have been a crowd pleaser in my house. Whether its family, or friends and family, they'd get demolished. I tend to let the meats I smoke stand on their own, so just salt and pepper went on them. Then my wife, almost as a joke, bought something from the grocery store. Signature...

    Cleaning Concrete Stains?

    This is a mess my last smoker, an upright, left for me a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if this is grease or rust stains. I think grease would normally be black, so I'm leaning towards this being rust. Any thoughts on cleaning it? I think I'm going to try bleach first, then TSP. I tried a...

    Barely avoided disaster?

    I went out to smoke some ribs today and found a hole burned up through my hopper. I imagine that this wasn't a flame, just a smoldering, else it would have completely burned up. The paint on top of the hopper lid is damaged as well as much of the paint inside the hopper. I contacted the MFR back...

    Reheat Whole Fatty in Sous Vide?

    Does anyone have any thoughts on reheating the fatty in a sous vide? I need to make a couple of fatties a couple of days in advance and will need to reheat them for breakfast for about 20 people. I figure I can make the fatties and then refrigerate them. I can set my sous vide for 135 the...

    Maverick XR50 Wireless Comm Problems

    Has anyone experienced communication problems between the transmitter and the receiver? I'm planning on contacting Maverick to report this issue but wanted to know if this is a common occurrence. I received my XR50 about 10 days ago and last night was only my 2nd time using it. This was the...

    Identify this cut?

    Can anyone identify that larger cut? I went to a local butcher shop a few days ago and asked for some short ribs from the short plate.  I've never smoked or had beef ribs before.  I knew they are much meatier than pork ribs, but this was a total surprise when he came back with this massive...

    Awww rats!

    I was about to put 3 racks of ribs out on the smoker for dinner and I found a rat nest and a single, big, fat rat in there.  I pulled the racks from the smoker and put them on my propane grill and have it going full blast.  I removed the nest and the droppings and then sprayed the inside of the...

    Getting Fed Up with my Smoker - Just a Rant

    super short summary of the entire thread - I had issues with an AMNPS as it wouldn't stay lit and switched to a tube smoker.  The tube pellet smoker kicks ass and is giving me no issues at all! Sorry for the long rant... there is a question at the end though.  Might be this evening before I can...

    Don't See Many Natural Gas Smokers

    We're moving to a new home in a few weeks and we'll have a natural gas line that I'd like to take advantage of.  I have a Masterbuilt XL and I'm aware that I can convert it, but I suspect the HOA would frown upon that.  I'm also worried that if something ever happens, I might get in a bit of...

    40" Masterbuilt Propane - Mailbox mod, terrible draft

    I was having trouble keeping my A-MAZE-N pellet burner lit, so I did the mailbox mod.  After doing the mod, I still was having trouble keeping it lit and never saw the thin blue smoke coming from the back opening of the smoker.  I had several ideas as to what the issue is, but what it ultimately...

    Deer Link Sausage in a Fatty

    My father-in-law is coming to visit this weekend and he's bringing a good bit of deer sausage links with him.  I was going to make a fatty this weekend with cheese and tater tots in it, but now I'm thinking I should put a deer sausage link in it.  Two questions... What would go well with deer...

    Smokin'Pi - Automated Propane Smoker Controller and Q-View!

    I purchased a Raspberry Pi and received it about a week ago.  If you're not familiar with the Raspberry Pi, it is basically a full blow Linux computer and about the size of a credit card.  I've added an ADC IC to the board and gave it the capability to monitor up to 10 temperature sensors.  I...

    First Smoke Stressful - Second Smoke a Breeze!

    I did my first smoke on Jan 1st (two 3 lb butts and 2 chickens).  By the end of the day I just wanted it to be over.  Turned out very well, but it just stressed me the heck out.  I did my second smoke yesterday, 7 lb butt and two chickens and it was a breeze.  My only regret is not starting the...

    Mornin! I smell hickory...

    Tried to give my greetings yesterday, but I believe I posted to the wrong forum.  I never saw the post show up and believe the thread was denied. In any case, I just wanted to say hello.  I received my first smoker yesterday, a Masterbuilt GS40, and assembled it last night.  It is currently...

    First Smoke Today

    Hi everyone, just introducing myself and hoping to get a tip or two before this afternoon when I head out to buy supplies.  My parents gave me and my wife some cash for Christmas and I used my half of it to buy a Masterbuilt GS40 which I expect to be delivered sometime today.  Along with it, I...
