    Snack sticks

    I've read people saying to put the sticks in an ice bath after pulling from the smoker. This might sound really stupid but do the sticks go directly in the water, or in a ziplock bag rhen the water?

    chuck roast burnt ends question

    Hello all, I have at this point never made a batch of burnt ends.  I've been looking at the recipes using chuck roast to do this.  I want to make some for a Father's day gathering, but there is no way I can do the entire smoke session that day.  My question is: Can I smoke the roasts the day or...

    2nd chuckie attempt

    Ok. So i assumed that i could cook a couple of chuck roasts using the same method i cook pork shoulder. I just cant seem to get these to fall apart like the pork. Is there a method i should be changing or do these beef roasts just never get as tender as the pork?

    I put both probes of my ivation thermometer in a glass of ice water. Both the meat probe and the bbq probe. They both read at about 45 degrees. Does anyone know if these can be calibrated or anything else i can do?

    Costco baby back ribs

    First attempt at some salmon

    Best prize I've ever won

    Just got done loading my chest freezer with an entire processed hog.  Best part is, I only paid 20 bucks for it in a raffle!  I've never seen my freezer have so much meat in it.  Looks like I will be smoking plenty of pork in my near future.

    first butt.

    This was my first attempt cooking a butt. I think it turned out very well. 7 lbs. It took about 9 1/2 hours. I forgot to take a before picture but at least I remembered when it was finished.

    some fattie questions

    Still pretty new to using my smoker. Would love to make a couple of these this weekend, but have a few questions. It appeared that some of the recipes were without the bacon wrap. Just curious if it is by preference or if the bacon wrap is essential to holding the fattie together. Should...
