I got my first brisket from Costco yesterday.  I've chatted with a person who gave me some suggestions on a rub.  They suggested I do 225 degrees until 200 degrees, then let rest in a cooler for a couple hours.  Does this sound like a reasonable approach in a Smokin-it?  I'm sure they are...

I have 2 butt roasts in the #3 right now.  One is: 10.78#’s and the one is 9.30#’s.  They have been in for a little over 17 hours.  I left it running a bit warmer than I normally would have overnight, at around 235, but it is very cold here, -3 right now. These are suppose to be for dinner...

Hello; I got the James Jerky Dryer for our #3.  We have 6 pounds of Top round steak that the butcher cut to 1/4 inch thick curing right now and I plan to put it on early tomorrow.  I may have missed them, but I'm not seeing much in the way of jerky directions / suggestions for temperature and...

I just ordered the #3 and it shipped.  I would have got a #2 if it was in stock as I think that is all the room I need, but wanted to make sure I got this in time for christmas. I was at over $800 as it was, so I didn't get a cart / stand.  I'm trying to figure out if I should have gotten a...

HI; I'm from Neenah, WI.  About 6 years ago I got a propane smoker, (just a 4 foot tall metal box with 3 or 4 racks, no idea of the brand) which I got rid of after about 3 years of use because the burner started having problems.  It also did not heat very evenly.  I used a inexpensive electric...
