    Lamb Rack Temperature

    Hello folks, I was wondering what the internal temperature should be for a well-done rack of lamb. Some at home like their meat well-done (absolutely no pink in the middle). My plan is to smoke the chops (from Costco) @ 250 until mine hit 115-120 and sear them and pull them off at 135 IT. What...

    Suggestions for Good Books on Smoking?

    Good morning everyone. I love to read and love to cook (duh). I got some great BBQ books for Father's Day, and now I'm looking for a few more to get me through the summer. I am looking for books strictly about smoking (recipes, techniques, etc)., not grilling i.e. Weber-centric. Any...

    Smoking ribs today (happy 4th of July) and using this probe. I've been pleased with it so far. Checked it for accuracy and the ambient temperature probes registered 212 degrees in boiling water. 👍 The unit's been working like a champ all day (Bluetooth, etc.). Problem now is the display...

    I have been asked to smoke some venison for a wife's friend. The problem is I have never smoked venison before. Needless to say, I have some questions. Which parts of the deer are best to smoke? Which type of wood would you recommend? What type of rubs go best with venison? (Salt and pepper...

    The OTHER categories...

    How many of you teams participate in the other categories at some of these comps? Dessert, side dish, or any other one for that matter. Any strategy involved in these? I just tried the dessert category at Lambs Farm in Illinois and ended up in second place.

    Whatt wood?

    I'm going to try to smoke (weather permitting) some boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I have about 8 that I stuck in a brine for about 24 hours(I know this is excessive for the cut, but I am still experimenting). My question to you is, in the brine I threw in some cored, sliced apples. Should...
