    New meat thermometer

    I just ran across this on kickstarter today and it looks pretty cool.  I'm always getting into trouble with the wires on my mavericks... it would be nice to have a wireless one so that I can flip the meat if I want and not have to worry about where the wires are when moving meat around or trying...

    First attempt at Cheese

    I tried to smoke some cheese about a month ago in my behemoth of a vertical smoker.  At the time it was about 10 degrees F out and I was using the 12 inch amazin tube smoker.  I loaded it up and got the pellets good and hot and then went back to the game.  A couple hours later I went to check on...

    Gadgets and Tools

    I bought the Maverick 732 when I started smoking a few years ago.. The probe is awesome for thicker pieces of meat, but doesn't work too well for thin stuff like chicken or ribs. I decided the other day to get a Thermopop for quick reads on the thin stuff.  Ordered it off Amazon and had it at...

    AMNPS Positioning Question

    I just ordered an AMNPS for my off-set and was wondering if I place the unit between the air intake and the fire basket will the smoke make it to the meat or will it get consumed by the charcoal in the fire basket?   Lately I have not been using the off-set box and just making a small fire in...

    My Brick Smoker

    So, I have been plotting how to get this thing going and have stalled out on the firebox door because I don't want to spend a small fortune on something that seems to me to be a simple thing... The plan started out as a recycle of bricks that I took off my fireplace surround.  I quickly decided...

    Cheap Firebox Door

    So, a metal fab shop quoted me about $300 to $500 to make a door for my firebox.  Dimensions are rough opening 12"x20" but I could knock down the 20" if needs be.  This is way too much for my plans. I was trying to come up with a cheap alternative and wondered how a cake pan (12x18) screwed...

    Vertical Brick and Wood Smoker

    Hi all, I have some extra brick laying around my yard and was tossing around the idea of building a vertical smoker out of it, but I don't think that I want the whole thing made out of brick.  After looking at all the wood smoker builds, I think that I want to make a brick and cinder block...
