Are you using any type of water pan? That might help add some moisture

which can help the tenderness. Also, have you tried the 3-2-1 method?

This might be what your striving for. Good Luck Smokin'.

Thank you all for the quick responses...I completely forgot to add that

Jes, i am using a baffle ont the 3-2-1 method...With this method i have

achieved my best result but it is still lacking the tenderness...I'm

it is on the top ont in the middle of the smoker where the heat rises.)

I find uneven cooking to be a particular problem (especially with

Getting Started

If you are going to try your hands on

cooking for the first time, it is

advisable to choose the recipes that are

not too complicated, as you would not

like to be overwhelmed by the recipe

with unusual ingredients or difficult

steps. Read the entire cooking recipe

carefully before starting, and make sure

you have all the ingredients, appliances

and utensils ready.

Understanding all the directions is

important, and make sure that you have

enough time to finish if off within the

time you have at hand. Collect all the

ingredients in one place, and measure

each ingredient before cooking. Always

wash your hands with warm water and wear

an apron prior to cooking. Deal very

carefully with raw meat, fish, poultry

and egg products.

Where To Find Cooking Recipes

Cookbooks that are available in

bookshops are a great resource for all

kind of recipes. Cooking recipes are

also available in magazines, newspapers,
