    Gas line clogged?

    Good afternoon all, I have a Smoke Vault 24 with a natural gas line connected. I normally have a nice firm hiss of gas before a large wooshing flame upon startup. I noticed today my flame was less than steller on high. I had very little gas coming into the smoker judging by the shear hiss of the...

    Beef problems

    Hot Sauce + Smoked Protein = ?

    Now for years I have been using mustard, but most use oil, water, and different sauces, to essentially hold the rub on to meat. I know mustard does not change the flavor of whatever I am smoking and doesn't burn due to its low sugar content. My question is if use a hot sauce to hold on a rub...

    Lodge Sportsman Cast Iron Grill

    I always talk about my grill, but never show it. I figured I would show it tonight with a few turkey burgers. Burgers overcooked while I was photographing but were saved by some cheddar and gouda cheese.

    Vertical Smoker Temperature Control

    I tried to search. I know for a fact this has been brought up but what is the temperature differential between my bottom rack and my top rack on a Camp Chef 24"? Hot air rises right?

    Beef Short Ribs

    Cooked up some beef short ribs in socal in my smokin it #1. Ribs are currently 4.99 a pound so I figured why not try them at least once. I overcooked them and they literally fell off the bone while I took a bite. The ribs cooked for 4 hours at 250 using the 2-1-1. I will definitely make short...

    I was contemplating adding aromatics and some other veggies to my rib foiling process. The thought came to me when i was about to make some brown sugar and whiskey carrots. Light bulb! Why not just throw the carrots in the syrup goodness under ribs in the foil. A "rib - roast" if you will. :P I...
