I am relatively new to forums in general, but I cam across this one when I was looking for cold smoker plans. I am currently a high school senior in rural Montana who is an avid fisher and hunter. I enjoy cooking as it has always been my passion and wanted to explore the world of smoking b...

Ok so my electric smoker finally went out on me (R.I.P). I’ve been looking into pellet grills and I’m wondering if anyone has smoked food on them? Im also limited on find these days and looking for one under $400. I’ve seen some pit bosses that are right around that price point and will be large...

My Thanksgiving is in danger!!! My Pit Boss 4-1 electric smoker is not getting above 150 degrees. I have a 19lb turkey, the smoker can do up to 20lbs. The temp outside is in the low 40s. The vents are also open and the temp is turned all the way to high. I also have the prob in the breast. I...

New member, long time smoker. I always "smoked" with a weber until a few years ago I was lucky enough for a friend to gift me a custom built oil drum smoker. Unfortunately this year brought us more rain than usual and it's rusted on the inside. I've searched this forum on how to clean it, but...

I am new to the BBQ cook off competition and I have done a BBQ competition for 3 years thus far and I have had less than 4 people to all of my events to compete . How can I get it off the ground to have more people to come compete. There is always people coming for food and fun , but we almost...

Hey everyone! I'm new to the smoking game and currently using a Masterbuilt Portable gas smoker (gift from in-laws). I've done a few cooks (chuck roast and brisket point) but I can't seem to get a good bark. My question is if I keep having to replace my wood chips every half hour, and opening...

Hey guys! First of all, I would like to welcome myself to what appears to be a wonderful forum of enthusiastic smokers :) Now, on to more pressing matters: HELP I have a smoker at home and whenever I try to smoke a brisket or steak without any dry rub, (for dietary reasons or whatnot) the meat...

I am 7 hours in to smoking 2 9lb butts. Internal temp is currently 140, need these by 2 this afternoon. Am I going to make it? Should I increase cooking temp?

Hi all I bought a small (4.5lb) brisket flat that I plan to smoke tomorrow. I don't do brisket near as much as I do ribs and pulled pork and it has been awhile since one that I did came out the way I was hoping. The last two or three times I have tried a flat, it comes out decent but each time...

Hello I plan to make pastrami next week but i can't find any pink curing salt, all i can find is white curing salt and morton tender quick. Is there any subtitute for pink curing salt? Can i use white curing salt or morton tender quick for making pastrami? If so how much should i add? Sorry...

Hello! I gave smoking my first ever attempt today, the results where...Mixed lets say! I was following a recipe from DJ bbqs new book for Pork ribs, and although they tasted great and smokey, they were really tough and a pain to eat. I have a feeling i know what went wrong due to my...

So far I've only smoked 5 racks of pork spare ribs over a couple of smokes. But I'm jumping to brisket this Saturday per the request of my dad for our Father's Day celebration. I picked up a 15 lb packer at Sams, and have come up with a game-plan based on various threads and articles on here...

Hi, I am very new to smoking. In fact, I haven’t even smoked my first cut of meat yet. I was given an Oklahoma Joe Highland as an early Father’s Day gift. I’m starting with a few dry runs before I try to throw any meat on this pit. I am having issues with the pit maintaining a constant heat. If...

I am looking in to upgrading from my current rig. I have a basic "Brick and Mortar" store bought smoker my wife got me a little of a year ago. Very cheap, leaks bad (I had to plug the holes up), thin metal, small cooking space etc. I think I have about got all I can out of this one. I am...

Hello. For the time being, I have a cheap electric smoker (analog), that I got as a gift. All I know is that it came from Sam's Club at some point. I received it, and it sat in my basement for three years. Yes, I seasoned it before use. The issue I have is that when I use my Amazen smoker...

I'm a total newbie to smoking. I just bought a Vision Komodo S series. For my first smoke I tried chicken breasts. I put 5 Breasts on, 4 wrapped and 1 not. I added about 5 or 6 chunks of hickory like the guys with this grill on YouTube did. Got good smoke for the first hour and a half to two...

I have a question about ham. We got a pig butchered at the local butcher a while ago, and there were some hams wrapped up in butcher paper. They don't look like they are pre-cooked or smoked, just cured as it is pink. Looks like a picnic ham. If it is only cured (to get the pink color) how...

Hey Everyone! Still new to this, and learning everyday. So far on my smoker, I have only done Pork Ribs, Loin, and Chicken. I want to take a foray in to the beef world now. I went down to the local grocery and took a good look through the meat section. This is what I found: Sirloin Tip...

Hello, I'm new here and new to the smoking community but where I work I need to become an expert over night. Now that's not going to happen but that doesn't mean I can't try with help. I am looking for a smoker $1,000 or under that is a cold smoker to smoke salt (We use it in house). But I need...
