Hi all, Did my first brisket last weekend. Just getting around to posting about it. It was a 6.5# flat I think. I'm not to experienced with brisket yet so I had a hankering to try one. I followed the sound advice from this forum and had great results  :). I trimmed it up the night before and...

Hi all, I'm looking for a couple knives to invest in. I did read the review on the victorinox in this section. The link still works in that review. Looks like the cheapest place to purchase. I'm on a limited budget, say 100$. Is the consensus to go with the victorinox line? I need a slicing...

Hi all, I have the maverick-732 that has 1 meat probe and 1 grill temp probe. I love that I can set it on the night stand with alarms and monitor temps. My question is how do you clean the probes? Not supposed to submerse them in water. I have been just washing the probes very carefully with...

Did some baby backs last weekend, just getting around to posting pics. I have good results with a basic slather in mustard and famous daves rub so I don't change it. I always throw in a tater or two. They really absorb the smoke flavor and are great for frying with breakfast. Luv my SI  :)

Hey all, I haven't posted in awhile but I have been smoking away  ;D mostly ribs. I need to do some butts for a wedding this weekend. I was going to try brining at least one of them. Never brined before. I did buy a briner jr bucket at cabelas when they had a sale. I have 2-8#'s and a 5.5#...

Hey all, Was reading on here about smoking smaller amounts of meat since i'm only cooking for me most of the time. Girlfriend is a nurse and on duty this wkend so its just me. If I do 1 rack of ribs, keep them close to the top at 225-230 for 4.5- 5hrs with potatoes on second rack right? Plan on...

Hi all, After reading all the good things about this company I called up and ordered the u pick em sampler today. You get 3 choices, 6-7lbs of each. I got peach, cherry, and post oak. Asked them for a smaller amount but 20# box is smallest they offer. I did ask them about smaller chunks to and...

Hi all newbie here, I posted in the intro section to. I'm new to smoking. Just did first smoke today (sun) in the #1. After much reading on here and picking up tips decided to smoke some ribs first. Bought 2 racks, said loinback ribs. 1 from Kroger store and 1 from walmart. Took the membrane...
