Show Special for this weekend!

The "Top Secret" Project Big Red is finally out!  No "leaking" here!  It's available for EVERYONE! So, what the heck is it?? Big Red is a WiFi-equipped, super easy to use and read, PID controller for the D-model smokers!!  Holy Cow, is it a WINNER in my book!  The app that controls it is on...

Picked up a 3.27 lb cowboy ribeye at Sam's.  I smoked it at 200, to an internal temp of 129 (like Prime Rib), then reverse-seared on the grill.  Simple rub of sea salt, fresh ground pepper, onion & garlic powder.  Hickory wood, with a little mesquite too.  Simple, easy, and perfect!!

It just never gets old!  3 racks of baby backs in the 3D with mustard & Bad Byron's Butt Rub today!  Of course, a water pan, 4 oz of hickory & cherry, at 225.  Mmm-mmm good! 8)

I want to thank everyone who checked on me!  I've been missing in action for the last few weeks due to the flu that turned into a bad case of pneumonia, and a few days in the hospital.  During all of this, I also found out I have Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure! So, the last couple of...

This seems to be a trend, with me.  One of these days, I might actually get to smoke a turkey on Thanksgiving day!  At any rate, duty called yesterday, but I'm off this weekend! This picture is not a trash can...  There is actually a 14.5 lb turkey doing some scuba diving in that cooler!  I...

On Monday, 11/28/16, SI Forum members can get 15% off ANY accessories!  This doesn't apply to smokers, only accessories. Use the code # 1 FORUM at checkout!  It has to be spelled just like that, with caps, to work.

Here's a few shots of the app, showing the detail view and graph from the 2 smokes I've used it on. 

I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to evaluate the Fireboard thermometer, and I'm impressed, so far! Fireboard is another Kickstarter project, and is a Kansas City based company.  The Fireboard has ports for 1 box temp probe, and 6 meat probes (or 7 meat probes, if you don't need to...

I've put together a short eBook called "Lazy Q."  It's available, as a free download, on the Smokin-It website.  I can't attach it here, as the file is too big. Click on the link, then click on the Lazy Q link on the SI page to download. Check it out - I hope it helps those just starting out...

The 2D is on sale for $549.99 through Sunday night at midnight, 8/7/16! Hurry, before they're gone!

From now, until 7/5/16, use the code KARMA7 to receive 7% off of anything on the SI website. (Corrected code....sorry for any confusion!)

I buy supplies from Food Service Warehouse (www.fsw.com), and received an email today that they are liquidating!  Lots of stuff gone, but there's some great deals to be had.  Hurry, before it's too late.  I just placed my last order, which included a 22 qt Cambro poly container for $17.
