    First Loins in new smoker.

    Just pulled the first meat from my new Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite Electric.  Been a while since I've had a smoker.  Pulled them a little late at 155 so I hope they are still good.

    Chip Fire?

    I just picked up a new 30" Sportsman Elite from Cabelas after having an electric one a few years ago that the element went out on then failing miserably with a propane model. Anyway, I seasoned the new one all up and decided to smoke a couple loins this morning.  Loaded up the chip tray as...

    Propane smoker for cold weather?

    Anyone have any suggestions on a good propane smoker for less than $200 that would work good in the cold Iowa winters?   My Masterbuilt electric's heating element recently gave out so I'm looking to switch to a new propane instead.  I looked at a couple cheaper ones at Menards, but they didn't...

    Pork Loin Riblets

    It's been a while since I've had a chance to fire up my smoker, but I was at the grocery store today and picked up a 10lb box of Pork Loin Riblets for $1.49.  Yes, $1.49.  After I got home I realized how cheap they were and went back to get more, but they were all marked $14.90. So I have a...

    Rubs - Skin or Skinless

    Sorry if I'm posting everywhere, I figured I'd break each question down by category. Today I'm doing some country style chuck beef ribs, a few slabs of pork spare ribs and a couple small chickens. The birds are fairly small about 5lbs each, I was just thinking of throwing some BBQ rub over...

    Spare Ribs - Mustard

    Back into the smokin, posts all over. Not sure why, but when I get smokin, I go all out. I picked up a 25lb box of Bob Evan's spare ribs at the store the other day had a special for $18/box. They seem to be all trimmed nicely as well. Anyone else ever see these before? I thawed them out a...

    Country Style Chuck Ribs

    Anyone ever do these before? They were only $1/lb so I figured I'd try a few lbs. Any trick to making sure they end up tender? I just had some regular beef ribs from a BBQ place the other day. I might as well have gone out and bought a pack of BBQ flavored gum. Just hoping to avoid that...

    Smoker Cleaning

    I have a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker that I let someone use a few months ago and they didn't mention to me that they didn't clean it. Being at the end of the yard under a tarp, I never really bothered to check. I opened it up today and decided to get it ready to go and it smelled just like...

    Chicken Wings

    I'm thinkin of doing some BBQ wings in the smoker for the big game this weekend. Anyone have any tips on doing them? I saw the other post. I'm not really going for the crispy wings, kind of like a rotiserrie chicken slathered in some BBQ sauce. Maybe this isn't possible in my masterbuilt...

    Remote Thermometer

    I was just at Walmart earlier and picked up one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Smart-BBQ-Remo.../dp/B000NXUB62 Anyone ever use one before? I thought it was kinda cool. I can put the probe in the meat and sit inside and monitor its temperature. -Adam

    First Venison Jerky Help?

    Ok, this really isn't my first time making it, I've always used the dehydrator, but never really got a great batch out of it. It was edible, but more like a dried piece of cardboard. I'm lookin to smoke it this time to get that good smokehouse jerky flavor. The plan is to smoke for a couple...

    Round 2

    Well since the first time went pretty well, I thought I'd try again. The sirloin roast went over well, this time I did make a change and am using an adaptation of a friend's prime rib rub. Also, I'm attempting a whole pork loin. I cut it in 2 to fit in smoker and for seasoning. Put on a...
