Hi Guys and Gals, It's been ages since I visited. I forgot what great info I was missing. Anyway, I recently turned a buddy on to smoking and he's got the bug bad! The other day he mentioned wanting to use walnut to smoke with. I told him I don't recall hearing of anyone using walnut before...

Call me crazy, but I started two 10# butts last night in the rain. So far so good. I'll let you know how they come out. My question is..... I'm using a (no laughing please) a Brinkmann SnP. I KNOW I KNOW, I need a WSM, but I will have to use the SnP till I burn it up (which I'm working on as...

Thanks again to all! I think my biggest issue is the temp spike. I think I know what caused it and how to prevent it the next time. I think I may also drape a sheet of foil on the meat closest to the heat to allow a more even cooking between the meats. Seems the closest hunk seems to have a...

Hey All! Thanks for the all the great advice! As far as the wife and I are concerned the shoulders came out great! But what do we know? I had lots of great tasting "Bark" and the smoke ring seemed to penetrate almost 1/2 inch. The taste was killer and the meat was good and moist throughout...

WOW! So much for sunrise! OK, Midnight sounds good. So, next question, do I prep the Shoulders anyway special or just rub em down and throw them on?

Hey Guys and Gals, I'm planning on smoking two 8 - 10lb pork shoulders this weekend. These will be my first shoulders. Any advice on prep would be appreciated. The plan is to start at sun up tomorrow, so I should have max time needed. I plan on a Memphis style dry rub. I guess my biggest...

Hey ALL, Quick question. I've got a couple of old trees in the back yard that have lots of dead branches. I think they are either Elm or Ash trees. I'm in the process of finding out which. But in the mean tme..... would either be ok to use as fire wood in the smoker?

OK, now that I've read all the pros and cons of the why's and wheres of thermometers, I'll ask the stupid question....... whats the best way to check the accuracy of a thermometer? Pull it from the unit and stick it in boiling water? Does anybody know how being in the Mile High City will effect...

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your honest opinions! Unfortunately, I purchased my BSnPP several months ago, mistakenly thinking that bigger is better! My bad. At this point my only option (as far as the better half is concerned!) is to use what I've got until I burn it up! At that point...

Hey guys, Just as a matter for discussion. If I were about to buy a new smoker, and was looking at this big new Brinkmann Smoke n Pit Pro and the Shiny red WSM, can some one point out the pros and cons of both for me? I know you guys are all PRO WSM, but from a factual stand point, what...

Hey, you guys might not realize it, but you guys a theraputic as well. Just got in from one of those @#$%&*$#@ days at works, checked my email and I've already got a smile on my face and a better attitude. I think my wife, kids and dogs owe you guys a THANK YOU! Thanks again for all the...

Are you sure you guys are not on the WSM payroll?? LOL My Brinkmanns are starting to develop a complex! Actually, I wish I had run into this forum long ago. I'm sure I'd be cooking on a WSM at this point. As it stands, I think I'll have to suffer through a few years of using these...

Hey Jim and Kevin, Just wanted to Thank you guys again for the GREAT information. Sorry about my first reply, I think I had a few too many Frosty Barley Pops! Anyway, I had a chance to check out the smoker mods and they make great sense. I read up on the "Minion Method" and can't wait to...

WOW! Thanks guys! I'm impressed. Two of the All-Stars right out of the chute. You guys really know how to make a newbie feel welcome! I'm looking forward to checking out the modifications and have enjoyed reading all the previous posts in the forum.

Hey, I'm the new kid, just getting into the BBQ/Smoking arena. I've got A Brinkmann Bullet style and a Brinkmann Smoke n'Pit pro. I'm pleased with both. I've tried a variety of things in the bullet style from Salmon to big Turkeys with relative luck ( all was edible at least). I like my Smoke n...
