    Quick Turkey Smoke Question...

    I going to do a test run on my first smoked bird. I have found what I think are some good recipes for a brine and a rub. In doing my research though, and even in this forum, I have come across some who say smoke breast side up, and other sources say breast side down. Does it matter? Just looking...

I've been raving about the flavor and my parents called me out and want me to smoke the bird this year. I was nervous, but with all the help the SMF family has provided I am confident...

    Tried 3-2-1 ribs again on Sunday...

    The rub turned out great. Not too spicey for the gf, just right. I was disappointed though. The meat didn't pull back the 1/4" from the bone until after the 2 part. They were really juicey and a few end bones were falling out so I opted to do the 1 hour to firm them up. I let them set for a few...

    CG SFB damper....

    Anyone with the CG experience the SFB damper getting stuck? I did my first smoke (Q-View coming soon) and shortly after realized that the damper was stuck. It moved easily and freely before I put the fire to it. Tried lightly tapping it and the tab started to bend. I don't get it...is it too...

    Question on Spares...

    My first smoke today...gonna do two racks of spares on my new and newly modded CG! Question about the 3-2-1 method for spares...am I supposed to flip the ribs at some point. I didn't read anything about it, so I'm assuming just leave them meat side up for the duration?

    Arrrg! What to do!

    I just wanted to get some opinions, I know that it may sound dumb, but I want to SMOKE NOW! Dilemma...the local HD doesn't carry the Char-Griller Smokin' Pro in the store. I have to order it off the website. $102.00 for shipping plus the $169.00 for the smoker...$271.00, plus the extra for the...
