    Curing Chamber

    Great thread here and thanks for sharing your project. Wish I had stumbled on to it weeks ago. Our beverage fridge in the kitchen started running real loud and I replaced it and moved it into our mechanical room in the basement to give this a try. Have the ink bird set up with similar...

    My friends and I always have a poker tournament during the draft. Last weekend I smoked a 7lb pork butt, a 4.5 pound chuckie, and 10lb's of chicken hindquarters - then pulled, bagged, and froze them.

    IA Newbie w/ Rib Question

    Thanks JDT. I did remove the silver skin and I had a thermometer probe on the grill grate. My ECB thermometer is useless. My probe will say 230 degrees and the ECB will be on the "A" in warm.

    IA Newbie w/ Rib Question

    Thanks for all of the input. I'll give it another shot soon, and post with some Qview. Sounds like doing ribs is more about feel than other cuts of meat.

To...
