    First Rib Q-View!

    This is my second time trying baby backs; the first ones turned out so good, I was brave enough to do four racks this time.

    Pulling membrane from babybacks

    I made that mistake earlier... I've got a rack that has fallen apart in my smoker, about to take it out shortly

    Need ideas for an internship

    Wow, congrats on the career change! I've been doing logistics and dispatch for a few years now, and have considered that same move many times. Dont forget to wrap it in bacon!

    When/Where did you get your FIRST taste of REAL BBQ?

    For the most part, the only bbq I ever had was ribs at various chain restaurants. Don't get me wrong, I'll take a rack of ribs just about any way you make them - but you guys know they just don't compare. Then a couple weeks ago I stopped by Buffalo Brew Pub for some homebrew, and decided to...

    Pulling membrane from babybacks

    Thanks for the tip, I am going to have to try this out! I've only done ribs once so far; I was having a hard time finding and gripping the edge of the membrane to peel it off. What I ended up doing was making a small slice across the width of the ribs, right at the center. Then I spread the...

    Great tutorial, and you've got my mouth watering! I've never heard of using pineapple rind in the smoking process, and didn't find anything about is by searching. Do you just take some of the dried rind and toss it in with the wood?

    Using the search feature to find answers

    This is a limitation of the software which powers this forum (vBulletin) and not this forum specifically. The reason for this, is because unfortunately people purposely search forums for something such as "i" or "the" in an attempt to slow the forum down.

    First smoke

    After my first rib smoke, I know exactly what's next: more ribs.

    Fattie Rookie

    You should probably time it so you'll be preoccupied when it's time for the fatties to come out of the smoker. It's almost impossible to resist the temptation to just tear into that thing!

    Yeah, NY has it's downsides, but we have... uh... hmm... I'll get back to you on that.

    My first smoke!

    I used a roll of Jimmy Dean Regular sausage. One thing I wish I would have known before making it - this stuff sticks to everything! Make sure whatever surface you're making it on is well lubricated, and I suggest keeping the sink running, so you can keep your hands wet. Once I got it to stop...

    Nope, just started four days ago! Already smoked a fatty, two Cornish hens, baby back ribs, and a salmon fillet though.

    Makita Drill driven Pepper Mill.

    Nice Pepper grinder, Tim Taylor, but why didn't you use a Binford drill? ;)

    My first smoke!

    As I mentioned over in my Roll Call, today was my first time ever firing up my smoker (GOSM) and I only planned on seasoning it. Well, the smoke smelled too good to waste, so after a couple hours I tried to toss together a fatty and put it in there. It sure turned out good... it's official, I'm...

    New smoker reporting for duty!

    I finally had a chance to put it together today. I only planned on seasoning it today, and not any smoking, so I only had some fresh Apple twigs. Well, after letting it season for a while, and smelling that smoke for a couple hours, I decided I had to at least put something in there. I quickly...

    New smoker reporting for duty!

    Thanks everyone! I just got the notification that the smoker arrived today, can't wait to put it together. I think I'll take some of the above suggestions and try out beans, fatties, and pulled pork.

    New smoker reporting for duty!

    After reading around a bit, I just purchased a GOSM 3405BGW Gas* Wide Body (is this what everyone refers to as the Big Block?) and can't wait to try it out for the first time! It probably won't be here for a week, but I'll update this thread with how my first smoking experience went. I haven't...
