• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

    I have seen several posts on the tips and tricks to seasoning a brand new smoker. Getting a BWS Party G2 next week and am looking for opinions on the best method of getting her ready to cook on. On the forums there seems to be at least two schools of thought... 1) Just a hot (350+ degree)...

    Temp control on Backwoods... Advice?

    Hello, Brethren! Looking for some advice, especially from the BWS owners of the group, on controlling temps on these smokers. I recently got my Backwoods Competitor, which has been turning out some great Q, but I'm having difficulty keeping the temps down around 225 or so. Running a full load of...

    How long can a brisket rest?

    I picked up a 15lb brisket yesterday to smoke (yesterday was my Saturday), and realized that it could take a long time to smoke at 245*. I put it into the smoker at 9:15 last night, allowing it to have 18 hours in the smoker before I the time I want to pull it (this afternoon at 3:30pm). It's...

    Expected time to smoke a brisket, and rub question

    I picked up a 14.75lb brisket today (USDA Choice, $2.58/lb, thought I did well there). I usually expect 1.5 hours per pound, and that held pretty true for the only other brisket I've ever done. It was 8lbs and took 12 hours. Should I really expect it to take 22 hours to cook? I am going to...

    First Brisket (pron) - Updated at 4 hrs 30 mins of cook

    I decided to try a brisket. Just got her going at 8:45 (eastern) this morning. I did a light Montreal Steak seasoning that sat just long enough for the smoker to come up to temperature. This also gave the meat time to warm up to room temperature a little as well. I will post updates later today...

    Backwoods Smoker Durability

    BWS owners, How has your smoker held up? I'm trying to decide between a new Chubby and a used Party. I definitely would like the extra room of the Party, and it will be discounted a little since it's used, but I'm curious how well your smokers have held up? The used Party is probably...

    Starting a Backwoods Smoker

    I'm within a couple of weeks of getting a BWS. I've been looking through these forums for as much info as I can get, and found a lot of great stuff. As far as bringing the smoker up to temp, has anyone tried starting the charcoal and putting it in the bottom of the smoker with the diverter and...

    BWS Extended Party Unboxing

    My shiny new Extended BWS Party was dropped to my curb (and then some) today. Too late to fire it. But man she sure is purty. Thanks Kevin! Was 396 lbs in the crate :shock: Crate was very well put together. The BWS was centered in the crate, with good clearance from all sides. Here's the...
