    Where can I get the best price on LumberJack Pellets?

    The trick is to microwave the pellets to dry them out before using them. I use a glass baking dish microwave for 2-3 minutes give them a quick stir and then another 2-3 minutes.

    Gloria didn't want to be a hog...

    Wow that was a great find. I thought 1.99 for BB was good but, .99 blows that away. For that price I would have bought up 100lbs! As the cheapest I normally find bb's for is 4 bucks or less.

    Wife bought me a gun!!

    I have shot over 100lbs of jerky from hamburger and have always done start to finish on the smoker. On average it takes 10-12 hours to complete. Worth noting I have a pellet grill so it acts as convection wich helps dry things out with prolonged exposure. I just bought a new stove that has...

    Smoker repair question?

    Make sure to use the regular jb weld not the quickset and you should be fine. Make sure the area is clean and allow it to cure an extra day or 2 and it should work great.

    Its called a grill press. If you want to do the same thing for cheap use a paver brick and tin foil.

    Jalepeno Jam

    Couple of idea's. First one that comes to mind is moink balls coated in jap jelly and then a bit more smoke or a quick trip to the gril. Or make bbq sauce sub the jelly for any sugar and or vinegar in the recipe. I had some raspberry hab jelly that made great bbq sauce last year. Good luck.

    Wow! You did the exact build I want to do. I have a cs570 wich is great but I am wanting a cabinet smoker to do large batches of jerky and other smoked sausage that needs cooler temps and lots of room.

    Sausage casings

    My local meat shop says he soaks his caisings in meat tenderizer. His only caution is you leave it in to long you will end up with mushy AND/OR casings that bust way to easy. Mm

    I love bark so I try to trim some of the fat off and smoke fat side down. I use to do fat side up, but I was always lacking the bark which is the best part of a smoked pork but!

    Kroger Ribs

    I have done both with water and with out water. As long as you have your methods down both have turned out great. With the water ones I like to let them rest over night in the fridge on a cooling rack so that a lot of the water will come out. I rub them up the next day and throw on the...

    It's On!

    If you are using the stock thermometer that could be your issue. Mine was never accurate. On my smoker the only use for the thermometer is to look pretty. I have plans to replace it one of these days, but just not quite there yet. If you have another thermometer take a potato stick the probe...

    20 lb shoulder

    I wouldn't worry about it in my opinion since people do smoke whole hogs. Just make sure to keep your smoker temp up and you should be fine. As a precaution just smoke a bit hot to start off with then bring the temps back down to finish it off.

    First run ABT's with rack

    This is my first try at making ABT's. I did up about 24 poppers and 4 Anaheim stuffed chilie's I stuffed them with cream cheese and fancy shredded sharp cheddar cheese. They were awesome, but I think next time I will take them out a bit earlier. The same with the hot dogs. The smoke flavor...
