    BURN OFF practice

    SUNDAY, 10:05 AM - PRACTICE RUN... First let me preface by saying I am going to try this with one bullet, as transportation constraints at this time prevent me from bringing the FEC to THE BURN! Lesson #1, the covers for the bullets don't necessarily prevent moisture from collecting in the...

    Holding uncooked brisket

    Has it at any time been kept out or above 40 degrees? Without puncturing the cryovac, you won't be able to measure the actual temp of the meat. In order to prevent a Food Born Illness, meat must be kept under 40. Freezing will not KILL any "viruses" just slow them down. I suggest freezing...

    Inaccurate Polder

    I have had problems in the past with a different probe for the wrong polder...see www.polderstore.com to get the right probe for the right polder...make sure the probe is really clean, and try checking the temp with an ice bath to see if that varies as well... BBQJEDI .02 worth

    BLACK LOOKING RIVS...cause/effect

    Thanks for the feedback..I think I got too fancy with soaking the wood and not watching the smoker more closely. Next practice run will include dry wood chunks and the Polders set on alarm....Thanks again

    BLACK LOOKING RIVS...cause/effect

    Q: Its been quite a while since my RIVS(ribs) came out looking black. What may have caused this..new seasoned smoker?, temp spikes? or wood soaked too long in H2O? Little help... I'm thinking one too many temp spikes over 155 Any help you care to lend is appreciated. Thanks.
