    Thermometer recommendations (not Inkbird)

    Any specfic advice for the Fireboard 2? I'm looking very heavily at that one. I've pretty much ruled out Inkbird....wasn't wild about the Thermoworks Smoke. Had the ThermoPro TP20 for less than a year and it's gone really inaccurate on the ambient temps in the smoker. My Thanksgiving smoke...

    Rec for new Stick Burner

    Kicking some tires and looking for a new/larger stick burner. Reverse flow, offset... I'm not a caterer or business, but at times need something with more space than what I have. Suggestions for companies that make them? In in GA, but will consider from anywhere. I've looked at: 1. Lang 2...

    Christmas Ham Help

    Need some help with doing a Christmas Ham - I have several/multiple questions: 1.  A Christmas ham is the shank portion of a picnic ham? 2.  Do you buy them uncooked/unsmoked?  (I've read the thread on Bear's Twice Smoked Hams) 3.  If uncooked, should they be brined?  If so for how long...

    Questions on a reverse flow -

    Esteemed smokers - I've got a couple of questions about a reverse flow... Basic info, it is not a Lang... Barrel is roughly 60" x 24" I've done exactly 2 smokes on it now, and am left a bit disappointed... End closest to firebox would at times run 50-75F hotter than the middle...so much so I...

    First Time Turkey

    I agree with Wolfmann, keep it at a low temp. I go straight from the brine onto the smoker....I do try and let it drip out, and give it a good shake before it goes on the smoker...but it goes straight to heat. For me, I don't oil or rub the skin.  It ends up being sacrificial...in my opinion...

    Need An Ash Rake-

    I've got me a new stick burner with a nice sized fire box. However I need some type of ash rake.  I have a couple of shovels and they are too large to fit all the way in, and the fire grate is not remove-able. I've thought about a small garden hoe, but not sure that will fit either. I'm...
