    Celebration of life

    So sorry for your loss. I love your BBQ wake idea. Those pork shots sound good, give them a try.  Best wishes for great weather, cold beer, smoky Q, and shared memories.

    newbie

    Hi philc!     I have a propane smoker, and I like how easy it is to start and maintain temperature. A bag of wood chunks or chips is easy to store, and I often swap my propane tank from my grill to smoker if needed. Whatever you choose, Happy Smoking!  Everyone here is great and has lots of...

    My Smoker's Back in Action!

    Well, it's a breezy spring day, I'm off work, and smoking some meat. There have been a few problems- Wrecked the meat probe of my thermo (and two others) using it for brewing beer. That's OK, the smoker probe still works and I have a new instant digital for the meat. Blew the spider webs out of...

    Help for a Complete Noob Please

    My advice is to pick one meat that you'd love to smoke, then do a forum search. There are lots of rub recipes and photos that people post as they're doing a smoke, and most everyone will give temps and times. That way you're not overwhelmed by all the great information found here. Focus on what...

    Anyone not foil pork butts?

    I haven't foiled my butts yet. One 12-pounder took about 22 hours at 230*. I will be foiling this weekend, though. I'm happy to hear that it will cut down the time a bit!

    I need a good pickled egg recipe

    I like mine just pickly with no heat or sweet, but you can add hot stuff to this: 1 1/2 cups water                                                                                                                  2 cups white vinegar                                                             ...

    Bad Wood?

    Thanks, I'll check it out. I did pull the chunks out, and they were pretty stinky as they smoked on the ground. I won't be using that wood any more.

    Bad Wood?

    The last few times I've used my smoker, I've had an awful lot of trouble with the smoke being too much and nasty, using either chips or chunks. I noticed today that the "bad" smoke has been from the same brand of store-bought wood.  What could be the problem? Is it too dry? Or just a bad brand...

    RATTLESNAKE (smoked)

    Oh, boy. How did I miss this thread?  I've got a house in Phoenix, and when we move there(hopefully next year), I'm gonna pay big money for a snake -killed and cleaned!-  then smoke that rattler and feed it to my husband on the sly. The big guy will totally wig out. That's what I'm lookin...
