    Heat Glove suggestions

    I'm looking for some decent heat resistant gloves. I have a pair that are just way too bulky so i cant really maneuver much with them. They almost look like gloves made out of fireman gear or slippery rubber. I see a lot of videos where people are using what look like your typical winter/snow...

    This is a poll! So select from list! I have only smoked brisket a few times, and when I did, it was never as good as some of the good local restaurants. I live in N. Georgia, and we've got some good pork BBQ places, but only a few that know how to cook brisket. Moonie's BBQ, in Flowery...

    PID Controllers - Part 1: Why I don't recommend one

    My thoughts on "PID Controllers - Part 1: Why I don't recommend one." Note: I'm specifically saying I don't recommend a PID controller, not that I don't want to control the temperature! Also, there is nothing wrong with using a PID controller; I'm just saying it's not needed! I'm going to...

    Pitts and Spitts Pellet Smoker arrived.

    Well after years of seeing others use pellet smokers mostly Treagar. I had to try one myself. I opted to go with a trusted brand and I'm glad I did. Its build to last and boy does it smoke. Can't wait to fire it up for real today.

    Brisket for the WIN!

    Loving the flavor... lately, I have stopped using the Texas crutch. I've been pellet smoking lately, so starting with low temps (190) to get more smoke, then up to 250 once I hit 160ish IT. Every so often I am adding a little spritz and additional sprinkles of my rub.

    Camp Chef Woodwind on the way

    After reading Jeff's review and doing my own research on this pellet smoker I was convinced this one is for me. I've smoked with various smokers for many years and this one almost seems like cheating. Cant Wait!!
