    my biggest smoke to date,turkey,ribs,fattie, w/qview

    As all have already said, very nice work there! I've only done ribs 3-2-1 once and they fell apart on me, but I may have to try again now looking at yours. What kind of smoker do you have? I saw 4 racks..my GOSM only 3.

    Fresh Ham Smoke w/QView

    Looking great so far...I have to ask though, why so little mustard? I put a 12# brisket in at around 11:30 this morning, but I've really been itching to do a whole ham like you've got. Can't wait to see your progress!

    Greek Yard-bird...mmmm

    ...and we're finally done and well rested. I pulled the birds when the breast therm hit 170°. Here's what they look like: Lots of juice as you can see and keep in mind, I didn't even brine . After cutting through the first I could see a little red around the joint area. I think the new USDA...

    Greek Yard-bird...mmmm

I did a probe test in both ice water and boling water before the smoke and there was a...

    Greek Yard-bird...mmmm

    The marinade alone is killing me! I wanna taste it all now, but they just went in the box. I had been going back & forth with SmokieOkie a few days ago, about doing some chicken this weekend and thanks to him, he steered me in the direction of using my greek marinade. Mama-Fokker loves the...
