    Smoked Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar, and Jalapeno Cheese

    I just picked up some of the Cabot's Habanaro at Costco. Excellent flavor and a heck of a kick!

    How many of you use your water pan with your AMNPS?

    Same here. I never use water and only use the AMNPS for cold smoking.

    Refill on Charcoal

    Thanks. I've cooked a few briskets in my time but heading up close to the UP and the temps I'm sure will be cold. I'm guessing I'll need to do a refill about the 8 hour mark or so. I'm guessing I'll be in the stall around the time I'll need to reload. So I understand correctly, would you suggest...

    Refill on Charcoal

    Good morning, I'm sure this question has been asked more then once but I can't seem to find the answer so I apologize if this is a redundant question. My question is this. I'll be smoking a brisket in cold temps this weekend and I don't think I'll be able to get the whole cook done on one full...

    Smoked Pheasant

    Thanks for the replies. I breasted these pheasant out so I'll just me smoking the breasts. Do you suggest brining the breasts. These are skinless. I was also thinking maybe I could wrap them in bacon. If going to 165 will be like chewing leather, do I go to 150ish? Thanks again

    Butcher Paper

    Question on butcher paper. Looking to switch over from foiling brisket to using butcher paper. Gordon's seems to be the only place local to pick any up. I was looking for pink butcher paper but they only seem to have peach or white. Is the peach actually the same thing as pink? Also, all the...

    Issue with brisket

    I haven't found a way to correct it but because of it, I don't use it anymore for anything but low temp cooks. I was shocked at how far it was off. I bought mine it 2015 as well.

    Issue with brisket

    Don't be scared to smoke the brisket at 250-275. I have an MES 40 and a WSM and I smoke all my briskets between 250-275. They turn out just fine at the higher temps. The one thing I can tell you though is my MES chamber temp isn't even close to what the digital readout says it is. When I put my...

    WSM Temps

    Thank you sir for all the information. I did read your thread but after I bought KBB over the 4th of July. I'll try the Royal Oak next time around. On my initial light up, I'm only firing up around 12 briquettes, and putting them in the center of my ring. I start closing down my vents around 200...

    WSM Temps

    Hmmmm. I filled that basket to the brim and only got 10 hours. I shook the ash off and all. No big deal I just had to add about a quarter bag of unlit to finish out the smoke. As this thing becomes more seasoned, will I be able to run at 225 - 250 with no water? I haven't been able to run that...

    WSM Temps

    Thanks for the quick response. I did another smoke last night and put my therm in the middle of the rack. It was much closer this time. The dome temp was 20 degrees cooler then my TP-08. One last question. How much burn do most get out of a full basket of charcoal using the minion method? With...

    WSM Temps

    Quick question. Finished my third smoke on my 22' WSM. I used my Thermo TP-08 at the grate level and the temp at the grate level is 25 degrees hotter then the factory thermo on the lid. I realize that the factory thermos are never accurate but I expected it to read hotter at the lid then at the...

    Smokey Mountain, First Smoker?

    Which seal kit is the best for the WSM and where do I purchase it? My door doesn't leak at all but my top is out of round and leaks smoke on opposite sides of each other pretty bad. Thanks for the help

    Where do I buy wood?

    Hey Rings, the guy on Craigslist sells splits like you're looking for. Type in barbeque in the Detroit metro area and he will pop up. Reasonable price too.
