    That makes sense, I have always smoked @ 230 and every time I foiled it was pretty wet looking on top. Shes foiled at 250 now, internal temp is 162.9. We got company coming out, I hope this is salvageable. Thanks

    I think I screwed up my brisket! Any opinions??

    I always follow the brisket sticky here and have had great success. However I met a fellow smoker who has a BBQ stand at a local grocery store and we got to talking about our pellet smokers.... He was not satisfied with the volume of smoke he was getting from his Fast Eddie smoker between...

    FINALLY decided on a pellet grill.

    Ill get some pics. up shortly. I went with the Yoder, just my opinion, not bashing any other pellet smokers. I looked at the Memphis, very nice unit, the all stainless was nice, but,  for 2,300 +  I felt like it didn't have a big enough cooking surface to justify the  cost. Looked at the MAK...

    Ribs taste a little too smokey.

    Yes Im placing the pecan logs directly in the fire. Im probably using 6-8 small logs during the 6 hours, the smoke is whiteish and I have a Smoke Canyon horizontal smoker, not my first choice but, Home Depot had it brand new, marked down from 500 to 200, so I bought it.

    Ribs taste a little too smokey.

    I start with a chimney full of charcoal, get all the coals white and pour them in my smoker then add a couple of logs of pecan, get my temp. between 225-250 and then do the 3-2-1 method. During this 6 hour smoke, I only use 2 chimneys full of charcoal and the rest of the time pecan wood. The...
