    Feeding the addiction...

    So, today is my third go with my smoker... I'm doing brisket, salmon and whole onions. I couldn't get a whole brisket, so I have three <2 pound flats.

    Thanks! Glad to be here. I'm actually smoking two birds... one 10# and one 11#. My plan was to begin at noon for a 7 o'clock dinner. How does that sound?

    "Hi!" from Athens, GA

    Hi everyone, I've just started smoking with my CampChef 18" Smoke Vault propane smoker. I've had one smoking session so far (with pretty decent success), and I'm about to tackle Turkey day! I've got the bird in the brine and I'm ready to go with the smoker tomorrow. I'll be using Apple wood...
