    St Louis Ribs what wood

    Almost everything I smoke is done with a 3:1 mix of pecan to hickory. Sometimes I throw some apple chips in.

    Pernil (Puerto Rican Style) in a Pit Barrel Cooker w/Pics.

    Yeah, that's what you will find in most recipes in English as they are written for people in the States where the ham is not as readily available. Pernil actually comes from the Castilian Spanish word for "leg" (pierna), and in Catalan (another language in Spain) it means "ham".

    Pernil (Puerto Rican Style) in a Pit Barrel Cooker w/Pics.

    Don't mean to quibble, but technically pernil is made with the ham (rear leg) cut, even though many mainland Puerto Ricans use the shoulder as the ham is far less available than the shoulder. But I doubt anyone would notice either way, and  it looks good!

    Bear claws worth it?

    Concur...moving large hunks o' meat is so much easier with bear paws, and the pull time is dropped significantly.

    Pork Roll Egg & Cheese Breakfast Fattie AKA "Trenton Fattie"

    Ha! Never heard of a "fatty" before. I saw the title and I assumed it must be about a breakfast sandwich. Probably b/c I am chomping down a porkroll, scram. egg, cheddar, hashbrown s/w as we speak. I then saw then ingredients and immediately I thought.

    which propane smoker to get?

    I started with a Masterbuilt 7 in 1 as my first gasser. I could do 3 racks of SLSR rolled, 2 butts around 8 lbs each, or 2 whole chickens. You could probably do a turkey if you cut it into halves or quarters. It's not big (grates are about 16 in.), but it's portable and versatile (you can use it...

    How good is the Smoke Hollow 44" smoker ?

    I've got the 38", and I've done 2 smokes with it so far and it's pretty dirty. I haven't tried it yet, but I have heard bar keepers friend works.

    Smoke Hollow 38" vs 44"

    Thanks. We had some decent wind the other day, and it was a major pain keeping it from blowing out, my only problem with it so far. Do you think the needle valve would help with that?

    Smoke Hollow 38" vs 44"

    So far I've done a whole chicken and turkey parts in the 38. Everything has come out nice and it holds temps well. Currently, making 3 racks of mostly untrimmed, but de-membraned spares for the holiday. They all fit, but very, very, tight on the ends. The one grate that has 2 on it, and they are...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    My brother & I one day were in  the backyard yard just knocking golf balls around with some clubs, and acting like jackasses. All of a sudden, don't know why, I started wailing on them and yelling "Shekky!". Ever since then my brother has called me Shekky or Shek as my nickname. Years later I...

    Advice and comments on Vertical Smokers to buy?

    Just bought the SH 38. I'll update when I do my first run with it.

    Smoke Hollow 38" vs 44"

    Well, I bought the 38, which should be arriving in the next day or so. I really don't need the space the 44" has. I've seen posts elsewhere of people doing 6 racks of ribs. That's more than enough for me. Based on the pics I would bet I could easily do 4 nice sized butts, or 2 packers. I'll...
