    Lazy Sunday Smoking Dino/Plate Ribs

    Our first warm day of the year here in the SF Bay Area. It's 74 degrees out! I have not smoked beef. I have read a great deal on this site. Thought I'd give Dino ribs a try. Seasoned the Dino ribs Texas style, salt and pepper. Took a bit to get the smoker out of it's hibernated state. Started...

    Adding PID to Smoke Vault Smoker

    I have a Smoke Vault 24. I like the Smoke Vault for it's compact size and that it uses propane. It's taken away the hassle (for me) of attending to a wood smoker. From day one I had a problem hitting and maintaining 225 degrees for ribs. I did a boatload of mods (Smoke Vault Lessons Learned)...

    Smoking meats or WWII history... Here I am.

    Smoke Vault Lessons Learned

    I wanted to take a moment to give a shout-out to the Smoking Meats Forum, and no, this is not paid advertising. When my Smoke Vault arrived I could not wait to put it to use. Needless to say my first attempt was an unmitigated disaster. The meat had bitter tones, and there was black gooey...

    Camp Chef 24" Smoke Vault vs Masterbuilt 40 inch ThermoTemp XL vs OTHERS?

    I am new to smoke products. I grew up on propane and as a new home owner, I only own a 36" Blackstone Griddle and want to get into cooking more food at home; using just a griddle isn't enough.

    TRI-TIP AND BEANS IN THE SMOKE VAULT

    I was in Publix a few days ago & they had a bunch of Tri tips. They weren't cheap, but the meat guy said they will be carrying them from now on. I guess they have been getting a lot of requests for them. So I picked one up. It needed no trimming, so I just put some Worsty & Montreal steak...
