    Returning former member

    Greetings fellow smoke-a-holics! I am back from a 2 year hiatus. Not really sure why I left, or why I didn't smoke much during that time. I spent some time with the baby girl, but most of all I think I'm just sick of my smoker. It seems I was always battling my smoker, it never worked with...

    Barbecue Championship Series on VS Channel

    I found this on the VS website. Sounds like some variation of "The Iron Chef" or one of the other head-to-head cookoff shows, but its BBQ. Quote from the website: Presented by Kingsford Charcoal, this competitive bracket-series tournament features the worldâ€8482s top BBQ chefs vying for...

    Which would you use more?

    I've been looking at a few custom built smokers and I can't decide which of these two options I would prefer. You could have a grill/griddle combo built on top of your firebox, or you could have a warming chamber put on top of the firebox. The warming chamber is like a big vertical smoker...

    18 pounds of pork shoulder, 12-31 smoke

    Today's smoke was really important to me. This is the first time I'll be cooking for a big group. Tomorrow I'll be feeding somewhere between 15-20 guys. Its a pot luck poker game, but I'll be one of 3 guys bringing a main course. Because of this, I tried my very hardest to do the best that I...

    Peace, Love, and Barbeque

    This book was highly recommended to me and it did not disappoint. It is well written and laid out more like a story than a recipe book, but don't be fooled. There are tons of recipes in this book, and they are all indexed so finding a bunch of recipes is always easy. The author(s) of this...

    Smoke a whole turkey?

    The spouse and I were talking the other day, and it turns out neither of our parents are having a Thanksgiving dinner this year. That leaves us to our own devices, and we thought about smoking a whole turkey. About how long should I expect a whole turkey to take in the smoker? I know its a...

    Wood Swap

    My neighbor is moving and has given me all of his pecan wood that he had ready for smoking. It is well-seasoned (probably at least 2 years) and has been kept dry. It is also cut and split into what I consider the perfect size for medium sized off-set smokers. Now I'd love to get my hands on...

    Need advice on how to keep BBQ for a week?

    I'm going on a float trip in two weeks, and I'd love to take a big batch of pulled pork with me. The only time I'll have to cook it up will be the weekend before, so I'm wondering what I might have to do to keep the pork good for a week until we are ready to eat? I'm thinking that...

    My 3-2-1 Success!

    Last Friday after work I stopped by the butcher shop to see about getting a pork shoulder. With the help of the great folks here, I had figured out what I had done wrong and I was confident that my next pork shoulder would be perfect. As soon as I walked in the shop, my eyes immediately fell...

    Pulled pork won't pull! Help!

    This is my second attempt at pulled pork. First, I started with a cheap 4lb shoulder. It was wrapped in some stretchy netting, when I removed it the piece of meat fell into two almost equal chunks. Great, I thought, it will take half as long to cook! I rubbed it down using a rub that I...

    Another Missouri Guy here!

    Hello! I just found this great forum yesterday. I decided I'd be sociable and start posting! Grilling meat has been a long time tradition in my family. My father started making his own BBQ sauce a long time ago, and its always been a favorite of my family and whoever else tries it. After...
