    Master Forge Dually smoker and grill

    I had purchased a Master Forge Dually Smoker and Grill about 2 months ago and I love it!! The only draw back that I have seen so far is that it leaks to much smoke out of the back of the lid. That can be fixed with thou so I am not to worried about that. It does better with slow cooking than it...

    How and why did you first start smoking meats?

    Curing The New Smoker and old Charcoal removal on an offset smoker.

    Never do that with a new smoker or a grill!! You need time to get use to it...find the hot spots and all that good stuff. Better luck on the next rack, we would like to see some pics!

    Smoked Salmon Help :)

    The one thing I can see that I would change is how long you are letting the fish brine. Fish doesnt take as long as beef or pork does and if you let it soak in the brine it may become to salty. If you dont want the brine as salty just add more brown sugar to the mix. That should keep the salt...
