    Smoking Hatch Peppers

    My buddy (a good ol boy from New Mexico) has a large shipment of Hatch Peppers coming in. His usual method of cooking them to extract the meat is 20 minutes in the oven at 385. We got to talking about smoking them last night, and I know that 385 is way too hot for my propane Smoke Hollow, but...

    Help with brisket in the smoker

    It's been awhile since I've done a brisket, and after reading around I decided on this method: 1. Brisket in pan, smoke at 250 degrees until thickest part is 165. 2. Cover pan in foil. 3. Increase temp to 300 and cook until 195 at thickest part. 4. rest 1 hour and slice. This is in my...

    Membrane on wild boar hams and shoulders

    I'm processing my first cuts from our recent hog hunt, and all the hams and shoulders have a spongy, clear and extremely tough membrane on part of the meat. It almost has a bubbly appearance to it. This is on the outside of the cuts, i.e., the parts not facing the body cavity. I've been trimming...

    Y hoses for dual propane tanks

    Is there such a hose that'll let me hook up two tanks to one smoker? I've tried Google any only found a Y that'll let me hook up one tank to two grills or whatever.

    First time beef ribs with Qview

    this was my first attempt to make beef ribs. I made a rub similar to what you'd use with prime rib, that is, heavy on the pepper, with salt and garlic powder. I toned it down and gave it a Florida twist with celery seed and orange peel. They turned out pretty good. They didn't even need a sauce...

    holiday brisket with chicken and little fatties and lots of Q View

    first up, a 6 lb brisket, injected with lime and rooster sauce, and then barked and rubbed with brown sugar, pepper, chipotle, and cayenne. Smoke time was about 9 hours (I overslept), with another 4 or so in the oven at 190. Unlike my last brisket, a good cut selection and the lime helped to...

    tough brisket

    I smoked a 7 lb brisket (with a Dr Pepper marinade/glaze) last weekend for my little brother's graduation party, and the thicker part of the flat came out tough. I set my GOSM to around 225, and smoked it until the internal temp hit 195, which took around 16 hours. The burnt ends where a...

    Newbie questions about GOSM

    I'm finishing the setup on my GOSM, and now I'm testing the temp and calibrating the thermometer in the door with my digital probe thermo. The GOSM is running around 270 (read using the digital thermometer on the middle rack) on low completely empty, no water pan or smoke box. the flames are...

    A spice shoulder

    I decided, after last week's sort of bland shoulder, to spice this one up. My wife is a big fan of Penzey's spices for baking, and I've picked up quite a few flavors there myself. I made the rub from 3 TB of brown sugar, 3 TB of Penzey's BBQ of the Americas, and 1 TB of Penzey's Northwoods Fire...

    ECB's last hurrah

    my ECB is finally giving up the ghost, and I thought I would give it one last smoke before retiring it. This is 5.5 lb shoulder with a chipotle and brown sugar rub. I totally forgot to mustard rub it to get some good looking bark. that last chunk of meat I ate right off the meat fork.

    Master Forge smoker at Lowes

    I saw the Master Forge smoker model DGY784CP at Lowes for $149. It's not on the website. The doors on the floor model didn't seem like the close well, and the walls seemed a little thin. Does anyone have any experience with it? Thinking seriously about moving to propane from electric... EDIT...

    howdy

    Hey all, I've been a long time lurker. I currently have an ECB, which has done well for our smoking needs. I've smoked just about everything in it: ribs, brisket, sausage, shoulders and yardbirds. This past thanksgiving I smoked a 15 pound turkey in it, which was a tight fit but came out...

    ECB tripping GFCI

    Hey guys, I've got a ECB, which has worked well up until the middle of the night last night. Somehow, it tripped the GFCI outlet on the porch, when it hasn't done that ever. The porch circuit is a 20 amp, and I know it's not overloaded. The only thing on this circuit is a ceiling fan, two...
