I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right. :-)
I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.
Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.
No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.

I did however help a friend smoke 6 hogs this weekend and shredded a couple hundred pounds of pork.
What kind are you getting? No judgement from me I've had different types as my life demands have changed. Currently on a rec tec thanks in large part to FMB. [Reply]

Me too. However it blew over when the wind blew 100 in December and bent the box some and the lid doesn’t seal.
Does anyone have one of those masterbuilt gravity cookers?
It looks really good, but was looking for non-biased reviews. [Reply]

Just ate my latest batch. This continues to be the best way I have ever made ribs. Foolproof. I'm sure there are alternative methods, but this is so stupid simple and consistent. [Reply]

I got a pit boss 850 pellet smoker. Judge away. my brother has a big ass homemade smoker on a trailer made out of tanks from a fire truck, a friend has one twice that size. If I need to do. Ore than. One will handle I’ve got options and options with a ton of experience to help me. A couple of my buddies are competition smokers, but I just neve have time to watch meat for 8hrs.
My brother says pizzas are about his favorite surprise item smoked. I’m leaning towards doing some blocks of cream cheese early on. I’ll read this thread and get some ideas. Due to circumstances I won’t divulge I’ve got access to more chuck roasts than anyone knows what to do with…I’m seeing already that burnt ends incoming. [Reply]

I won't judge a pellet smoker because it's so hands off. Good for you.
Just do a pork butt to start. Easy and requires very little baby sitting. You'll impress your friends and family so much you'll build confidence before you fuck up your first brisket! [Reply]
I feel like I ate a whole cow covered in salt, pepper and garlic. I took my cholesterol meds this morning now I feel like I should eat a bowl of Cheerios. :-) [Reply]
Watched a video of Rob Magee from Q39 explaining his method.I tried it on 2 briskets this past weekend. I will doing a lot more of that in the future. It shaved 4 hours off my cook time and the burnt ends were out of this world.
I bought a Yoder Smoker a couple of months ago. I still have my green egg but will only be using it for grilling and Pizza. The Yoder is a great smoker.
Back to Rob Magee for a moment-
I guess I live under a rock. Had no Idea he had passed away this past December. I hope his wife can carry on the tradition. [Reply]

I'd be interested in that too. I'm looking for a new set up, but probably won't purchase a new one until next year. I had not heard of this model until this post. Went and watched a video and it does seem like something I may be interested in as well. [Reply]
