    Getting back at it, smoking wings

    Haven't used the smoker in a good 2 or 3 years (or maybe I should say a bad 2 or 3 years). Going to do some wings. I plan on smoking dry and then adding hot and BBQ sauce after they are cooked. My smoker only gets to 275°F. Will that be hot enough to get a good crisp or should I throw them...

    Fridge temp of chuck roast

    I'm pretty sure I know what 98% of everyone will say but I just need to ask.  I bought a nice 5lb chuck last night for today.  This morning I came down stairs to find my fridge door cracked open.  The chuck was on the edge of the top shelf so it was closest to the door.  I took the internal temp...

    Cooking brisket in oven

    I'm having a few people over on Saturday.  I would love to take out my smoker but I have about 2.5 feet of snow covering my deck.  Just not feasible to bring it out right now.  What is the best way to do it in the oven?  I'm most likely going to go with a small point. I'll probably do potatoes...

    When and when not to use a cure?

    I'm new to making jerky.  I made it once years ago using the Alton Brown method.  It came out ok.  I think I dried it too long.  I want to start making it more now.  Since I don't have a dehydrator (yet) I will be using either my oven or smoker at around 160°.  I do plan on buying a jerky cannon...

    Brisket cooking extremely fast

    I bought a 14 pound packer brisket at the butcher yesterday.  This morning I got up at 6am to start prep.  I trimmed the fat and removed the silver skin.  I injected with beef broth.  I spread a nice rub on it.  Smoker was cooking a little high (250*).  After about 2 hours it was already at...

    First attempt at smoking chicken thighs

    I will be attempting to smoke chicken thighs on Sunday.  I will be making my own bacon bourbon bbq sauce to put on them.  I have bone in skin on chicken thighs. Should I let these sit in a brine for a few hours first or will they stay juicy enough?  I want to smoke them at 300 until they get to...

    Pulled pork with bacon...smoking the day before

    I will be smoking a Boston Butt on Saturday for tailgating at the Pats 49ers game Sunday.  There is only 4 of us going so I'll probably do 4 to 5 pounds and whatever we don't eat I will make pulled pork nachos with :) So anyway, I will be putting the rub on tomorrow night to let it sit.  My rub...

    Process for smoking a whole bird the night before?

    I'm having about 15 people over this Sunday for a Friendsgiving.  We all go see our family on Thanksgiving so I thought it would be cool to do it again with friends.  Anyway, I plan on smoking a whole turkey (probably 16 to 20 pounders...I heard 1 pound per person is plenty).  If I get the 20...

    Yet another brisket thread...on the smaller side though

    I'm going to be doing my first brisket tomorrow.  I want it to be ready during half time for the second games which is why I was thinking of doing a smaller brisket...maybe around 4 pounds.  I haven't bought it yet but I want to get something with some fat to keep it moist. My plan is a 4 pound...

    New to smokers...need a little help picking out the right one

    So I'm in the market to buy my first smoker.  I know picking out the right smoker for someone else is hard to do but I would like your help. Some quick info to help...I live in RI so during the summer it can get over 100* and in the winter it can get into the single digits.  The good thing...

    Hello from RI

    Hi all!!  Haven't been lurking for too long but I'm no newbie to forums so I jumped right on.  I'm currently in the market for a smoker and just not sure what to do.  I'll be doing a lot more research to get the one best suited for my needs and location.  I'm sure with all the info on this site...
