smoker

OH man, I am beside myself excited!!! Just a few hours ago, the shipper unloaded it and helped me move it up my driveway to my smoking spot. I was actually quite amazed how easy this thing is to move on the heavy duty casters it came with over concrete. I imagine over any non-paved land would...

Hi all, just got permission from the boss to add another piece to the outdoor cooking arsenal. No doubt I'm a griller and NOT a smoker so smoking is where I want to focus. Current equipment Weber 6-burner NG Summit with rotis/side burner Weber charcoal kettle with Gabby Grill Santa Maria...

TARGET INTERNAL TEMPERATURE FOR CHICKEN* This one took a while for me to adjust to, but now, it's like I've been blind and now can see. We've been taught to cook chicken to 165F, right? This blanket, highly generalized recommendation is so deceitful. Yes, your chicken will be safe to eat. But...

Good morning all and Happy Father's Day! Just took this pic about 5 minutes ago. It's been smoking (Traeger Pro Series 34) since 10:45 pm EST last night (about 8 hours) at 225 degrees. It has about 4 more hours before I start checking temps. Dry rub - SPG Hickory pellets Peace

Hey guys. I started prepping my brisket this afternoon for my Father's Day BBQ on Saturday. I picked this up on Wild Fork. It weighed in at 16 1/2 pounds. It took about 20 minutes to trim. I have a nice amount of beef fat that I will render down in a pan during my cook. I'm planning on a very...

For those who use a pellet smoker as I do, do you use a specific brand based upon the type of meat you are smoking? Are Lumberjack pellets and Bear Mountain pellets made by the same company? Which is your go-to pellet brand?

1. Do you have a specific pellet brand you use for individual meats? 2. Are Lumberjack and Bear Mountain pellets made by the same company?

I've been using the 2-2-1 method for the past year and simply love the way the ribs come out (see pics). I'm using my Traeger Pro Series 34. But like all cooks, I'd like to experiment a bit and try a few new methods. I want to run this by the group and get your thoughts. Dry rub and smoke for...

Hey all, Pretty pumped about my new cooker being built by GreenMoneyFab out of NJ. Hit some hiccups along the way but can't wait to post pics of the unit. I was going to originally sell it after being built due to some financial stressors. Then my wife left me so i decided something good mind...

Hey guys, I have recently been put in charge of a club I belong to's commissary, i.e. I have to cook for 25-50 people every weekend during the summer, and we have a small wooded property where I have been introducing the common folk to the wonders of smoking, an art I have only been practicing...

Hello! First post here. I've been restoring a New Braunfels Bandera smoker and finally finished! I give you the Frankensmoker! https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmdnVQNGniCqgW6-pWKXGpJ9Xhkp https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmdnVQNGniCqgXL8lErHg8XpeB-E I picked this thing up for $100 and it needed a lot of work. There...

Hey Folks, I’m new to this site (or any BBQ type forum) and also new to smoking my food and I have a couple questions. I recently got a Weber Smokey Mountain (18 inch). The first thing I made were baby back ribs and they came out great. Now, I was thinking of making some sort of beef thing on...

Consider me lucky that a big fire didnt break out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo_bANJhPkk&t=4s

Original Thread "New SF Order Submitted" Its been a long wait. I finally took delivery on Sunday and I am very pleased. The one loose end is sausage hangers I ordered were not included. I've emailed Tyler on the issue, so im sure that will get sorted out. I hit the ground running seasoning...

Don't miss Episode 3 of Tacticool Kitchen, this one was my daughter's idea and we did Johnny Trigg Inspired BBQ Ribs...they turned out amazing! https://youtu.be/20gdz3GC6hU https://youtu.be/20gdz3GC6hU

Hi Guys, Found this Brinkmann, what I think is a Cimarron of some sorts or a Trailmaster 855-6300-0, and am picking up down the road this week. Pretty sure this is a 1/4" thick model so for $70 not bad. Here's the only pic that I have of it. When I looked at the manual for the Trailmaster...

Howdy Y'all, I'm an amateur pitmaster still learning the ropes and in the process of opening a new BBQ restaurant in a few weeks. I got my start smoking on a reverse flow offset stick burner and had success with my product, but my new smoker is this Southern Pride cabinet smoker and its giving...

Do any of you have a masterbilt gravity series. would love to see some real world feedback on it. I have always been a weber guy and rarely stray from that. All I have ever seen from masterbilt is their little electric smokers and always thought they were not that impressive(never actually used...

Hey Guys, glad to be apart if this forum. I’m looking to pull the trigger on a Gravity Fed Smoker. I have done months of research & narrowed it down to Stumps XL baby & Assassin 24. Any suggestions on which is better & who owns either one? Strictly for backyard & maybe a few comps a year at...

I’m looking to replace the backyard OK Joe with something quite a bit nicer that takes less work on the firebox during a smoke. I’ve narrowed it to three pit makers in Houston but I would like some suggestions/feedback from anyone that cooks on an offset or has had a pit made by any of these...
