    It seems too simple...

    I am a teacher at a school and they were going to get rid of an old food warmer  It is insulated and has places for lots of racks.  The element in the bottom is shot.  I was thinking that it would make a perfect smoker.  It needs some work to be convereted.  Then I though, what else is insulted...

    Pork didn't pull...

    A few weeks ago I smoked a pork butt. I have done this many times without a problem. Temps were perfect, smoke was great, even my timing came down to +/- 3 minutes of my projected finish time. The problem was, when I went to pull the pork, it just didn't pull. The only thing I changed was I...

    Was my chicken undercooked?

    So I got a really good deal on a vertical propane smoker this winter and decided to try it out finally. I butterflied, brined and injected a whole chicken and put it in the smoker. Temps held great at about 230 degrees the whole time. I took temp reading from the chicken in several areas...

    Full rack... 1st attempt!

    I have made some country style ribs before, but here is my first shot at a full rack. I was running around trying to get the ribs ready so I didn't get any early picks. I picked these up on sale at my local Wegmans. They came prerubbed and vacuum sealed. I used the 2.5-1.5-1 method. My...

    My First Fattie w/Q-View

    The fatty throwdown got me inspired. I couldn't think of any good ideas that my wife would actually eat with the secret ingredients, so I figured I woudl start simple. FMCowboy inspired me with his Fattie Italiano, so I figured I would try something like that to start out. So I started out with...

    Meatballs... First mini Q-View attempt.

    So my wife found a recipe for meatballs she wanted to try. It was a pretty weird recipe but I agreed to go along with it only if we get to smoke them. Sorry no pics of the process, but here is the result. Smoked them up in my fake smoker (propane grill) for about an hour. Had to use the pan...
