    Free maple in NJ

    I have a 14lb. box of chunked and seasoned maple ready to use up for grabs. When our tree was taken down 2 years ago I took more than I can reasonably use. I am unloading the extra. Email me at jeffyr@verizon.net if you are interested in picking it up in Bergen County or the Newark area. jeff

    bunch of pork skirts to cook

    Hi all, I have about a dozen skirts that I save from the past couple of spare rib cooks that I was going to cook today. Last time I did the skirts alone they were a little dry and chewy. Any suggestions for cooking the skirts or secrets to share would be appreciated. Thanks ! Jeff

I purchased my smoker a few weeks ago and after reading the comments on this board about the Maverick ET-73 I decided this was the way to go since I could check my temps at bedside when cooking overnight. The thermometer was callibrated fine...
