    My first pork butts - with Q-view!

    I posted this a while back on another forum, but thought people might enjoy it here too.  This is the first long smoke I ever did. I'm using a Weber Smokey Mountain.  This was a couple of years ago.  I'm a little better now, but still by no means an expert.  I hope everyone enjoys laughing at me...

    How much of a difference does 250* vs. 300* make for poultry?

    I'm trying to choose between two different electric smokers.  One will adjust up to a top temp of 300* while the other will only adjust up to a max of 250*.  I plan to cook a lot of chicken and some turkey on this thing.  How important is the capability to get up to 300 instead of 250?  Will I...

    Meat capacity of Smokin Tex 1400 or Cookshack Smokette

    I've been smoking on a Webber Smokey Mountain bullet for a while, and now want to buy an electric smoker to use when I'm too lazy to tend the charcoal.  I've done a lot of research and narrowed my choices down to Cookshack or Smokin Tex.  My budget constraints mean that I can afford either a...
