First attempt at Ribs...with a side of venison
Better wrap them up, I ruined a couple of venison loins. They dried right up even though I sprayed them several times. Looks good though. -
Smoking Elk this weekend
I did a venison roast with mustard and Jeff's rub and ended up with a worthless piece of dried out meat. The bacon may help you. Good luck! -
Virgin Smoker from Texas
Hi Chris, welcome. I tried to make a smoker from a COLD water heater(hot water doesn't need to be heated) and found it difficult to weld as it was so thin. I ended up using 2 old propane tanks and they worked great. Good luck and most importanty, HAVE FUN! -
help
You have a serious problem somewhere in there. I would think about replacing the whole thing. Sounds like yours is shot now anyways. Propane can be very dangerous as it expands over 300 times from its liquid form. Being a fireman, I have been to several structure fires and seen them blow. Makes...- nymatt

Best surgeon in the world
Three surgeons were playing golf and one stated that he was the best surgeon in the world. "I had a patient that lost 4 fingers and I reattached them and he went on to play piano for the Queen of England". The second surgeon went on to say that he was the best surgeon because he had a patient... -
When/Where did you get your FIRST taste of REAL BBQ?
My first experience with smoked meat at a BBQ was last August at my wedding reception. The BBQ was pulled pork, beef brisket, sweet corn, beans, ect. The smoker was on a trailer and fueled by charcoal. I got a good look at it and told by new bride"I can build that". I was blown away by the...- nymatt

Why does my TBS end so soon?
I have a GOSM and I love it however I only get about 1 hour or less of smoke out of it. I have used large chunks, packed it with small chips including Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey pellets, which are awesome for sweet smelling smoke and a wonderful flavor, but I still only get about 1 hour of...- nymatt

My new GOSM's very first smoke and the first time I used Jeff's rub.
It's 5:00 a.m. and the shoulder has been in the fridge with Jeff's rub all night. Half way through. 12 hrs later it's at 175 degrees. I ran out of time or I would have shot for 190. Cooked at 225. Let's eat! -
what's in my wood?
If you split the wood open I'll bet you'll find a white grub like bug about 1.5" long. I've seen them in pine several times but not in hardwood. If you listen close you should hear them. They sound like a swamp frog as they burrow through the wood.- nymatt

Apples in my fire.
I smoked some pork loin and beef steaks today and decided to chop up some wild apples that fell nearby. I put them right into my fire as well as near the top of my firebox and it produced a nice sweet smoke. We just ate dinner and you can taste the apple. It was a really nice twist and the wife...- nymatt

I Got To Smoke Today
I like your pictures. I tried to post some but was not able to do so. I kept getting a error message saying the pictures were to large to upload. What's the trick? Thanks! -
Just getting started in N.Y.
Hello,I just got married and had a catered BBQ. Wow was it good! I took a good look at the smoker used and came up with some of my own ideas. I went home,after the honeymoon, and built my own smoker out of 2 old propane tanks. My new wife has named it "The Rocket" because she swore I was going... -
What did I do wrong?
I just made my own smoker and smoked some steak and a brisket. The steak was awesome but the brisket was so-so. I smoked the brisket for 7 hours at 210-220 and then wrapped it tight in foil and into the oven at 230 for 2 more hours. I had to slice it, it wouldn't pull. It was juicy and full of...
