Mighty fine looking cooks guys.... may need to start up Rev-2 of Pit Masters soon.

I have a freezer full of different sausages, and soon I will have a smoke with em. Tomorrow its 3 racks of baby backs.

2.5 hours into the cook... just tossed some sausages on for a snack. This smoke will be no warp.

Ok I need some advice. Just got a new offset smoker/grill for bday/fathers day. I'd like to get some sort of wireless temperature gauge to monitor temps in the smoker and monitor what's cooking. What are y'all using and what can y'all recommend that isn't junk?

Thermoworks makes good stuff. I use a Dot thermometer and it's solid. They make a Bluetooth version, but I have heard mixed things about it's reception. My next one will likely be one of these. It's 2 channel and has seperate wireless monitor with it.

+1 for Thermoworks

I agree with Thermoworks. They can be expensive but worth it.

Well fired up the grill for the first time tonight, it's been way to long with out one. Grilled up some T-bones, potatoes, and a few other fixings. It was a big hit.

Excellent looking corn... cannot find that quality around here (yet).

Just some I picked up at the local ingles, it wasn't too bad. I've heard that the mennonite farmers market up in Delano, tn has started harvesting some really nice stuff though. I'm gonna make a run up there Friday to see what all they got.

You might try a farmer's market on the weekend. I know there are multiple good spots around here (Kingston Pike near Watt Rd, market square, etc).

I use this... its awesome.

There's one in Bearden. Expensive, but great reviews.

Willy's?....yeah, bring your wallet. I spent almost $60 on 4 pork chops. They were fantastic, but I agree with your other post about "prime" pork chops. That's the way to go!

 

[volfanjustin]

Been wanting to try that. Doing it on the JOEtisserie sounds even better.

Friend of mine does one on his Joetisserie about once a month, it’s fantastic

That looks incredible

That looks incredible

You got a lot of pork there. You have got to save some for the recipe. I got some pork in the freezer that I am going to Sous Vide to bring up to temp and make the Lasagne.

Best of luck my friend. I love cooking and sharing things with others. Hope all goes well tomorrow. I would love to hear an update on how things went.

3 rack of St. Louis style ribs... had an issue mid smoke. Seems the auger jammed and would not feed pellets into firebox. Did not turn on Iphone to track the temps as I though there was no need. That set me back ~2 hours. Fixed the jam and am now just getting to the end.

One of the racks shrunk to half its original size... huh!

I hate shrinkage.
