    Pork pricing?

    For the last couple of years, I bought my baby backs at BJ's (or Safeway when they were on sale at the BJ's regular price), usually around $2.29 or $2.49 a pound.  I went in there to get ribs about 2-3 months ago and the price was $3.29 lb.  I was like, WTF happened to rib prices?  They had...

    Hello from Maryland

    VERY weird. Is Indiana the Bizzaro Maryland, or vice versa?  If you tell me you only have one child, a son named Elijah, I am going to run for the hills.

    Help with AMNPS smoke level hot vs. cold

    I have a new Masterbuilt 40" smoker I've been using for about a month or so.  I also picked up the AMNPS at the same time and have been trying to figure out what's the deal with the smoke level when the smoker is heating vs. cold.  I have learned to really get the AMNPS lit well before smoking...

    Hello from Maryland

    Hello everyone.  I'm Enoch, 44 years old, and I was born and raised in Washington, DC.  For the last 7 years, I've lived in Bowie, Maryland, just outside of DC.  I bought my first smoker, and MES 30" in 2010, and just received my second 40" MES about a month ago.  The 40" I bought in 2012...
