    Can it be done?

    When I first started smoking food I used my Ducane gas grill. I just fired up the right side burners and left the left side off. I put the food on the left side and cooked with the indirect heat that way.

    Wood chips or chunks in a propane smoker?

    Agreed with blacklab

    How long for Smoke?

    The conventional wisdom seems to be that you apply smoke until the meat reaches around 140 degrees internal temp. But in reality, if you can smell smoke while it is cooking, it is still smoking and probably still absorbing smoke. I recommend a simple fattie to start with. Fry up some...

    My first smoke ever!

    Good job! I also recommend pork shoulder for a "can't lose" smoke. Very hard to mess up and the end results are fabulous!

    Does anyone know if there is

    There is a competition in Topeka too. If you send me your registration you are almost guaranteed to win. Currently I am the only judge and you are the only competitor! Let me know if you need my address!

    Simple Salmon Qview

    A successful salmon smoke. I used Dutch's Maple Glaze and just threw in a chunk of cherry wood on my electric Brinkmann. Went on at 11pm and came off just after 1am. I mopped the glaze sauce on about every 45 minutes. I didn't brine the fish and have never really considered doing that. I...

    Maple Glaze for Salmon

    I am very impressed with this glaze Dutch! I whipped up a batch and mopped it every 30 minutes on my salmon. I was a bit skeptical when it was cooking, as the soy sauce was overpowering the smell of the other ingredients. But the product put on the fish with a hint of cherry wood smoke is an...

    Stolen!

    This kind of thing really p*sses me off. I hope that they catch them and that they get the hard hand of justice right across the face. I'll keep an eye out here in Topeka for a listing that matches theirs. Unfortunately, the smoker will probably end up at a recycler so they can collect...

    Topeka KS fruit farm

    I'm way late to the party! Yes buy their wood no matter which one. Apple and Cherry are also favorites from Rees.

    Dr. Pepper, Really?

    I have used Coke in the water pan for a turkey. It really did infuse in the meat! I was impressed. I am sure that DP would add flavor too, but it would have to work pretty hard to compete with the strong flavor of pork. I recommend you search for SoFlaQers Finishing Sauce. It is amazing on...

    Turkey Temp

    I try to maintain about 225 to 250. If you want a little crisp to the skin, rub it with mayo before putting the rub on. Otherwise the skin might be a bit rubbery. You can also bump the temp up near the end of the smoke but that is a risky game to play as a higher temp probabaly won't jack...

    I Need Great Recipes For Smoking Meat!

    I serve this with anything BBQ. My co-workers and family usually demand that it be made for any sort of food related gathering. 1 can regular corn (15 ounce) (drained) 1 can cream style corn (15 ounce) 1 stick of butter 8 ounces sour cream 1 egg 1 package Jiffy corn muffin mix Preheat oven...

    Like a virgin! Smoking for the very first time!

    I snapped some pics and will get them up soon. I figured if I was gonna smoke all night long (and I did) I might as well make it well worth it. Dutch's baked beans and my Corn Dish Bliss, some SoFlaQuer finishing sauce and I was full! I was going to reply to threads yesterday, but I slept...

    Like a virgin! Smoking for the very first time!

    Is that a custom built thing or can I pick one up at a store?

    Like a virgin! Smoking for the very first time!

    Thanks for the encouragment! I just put on a batch of coals and opened the stack all the way up. I also added a pan of water to help regulate the temps coming from the firebox.

    Like a virgin! Smoking for the very first time!

    I'm back up to 237 and have a chimney of coals burning in the grill ready for when the temp starts to drop back down. I put two large chunks of hickory in and have more than thin blue coming from the stack. But as the chunks burn off that will taper down. I noticed that there is quite a bit...

    Like a virgin! Smoking for the very first time!

    No, it has nothing to do with sexual experiences, but I am losing my virginity in a sense today! Many of you know that I have smoked with an electric Brinkmann Gourmet for many years. It has served me very well, and continues to do so. But 2 weeks ago my neighbor told me that her brother...

    BIGFOOT? What does everyone think?

    I hope it is real. I think it would be very cool. And regarding the corpse and not finding them all over the place, I have yet to find a dead bald eagle around these parts, but I know we have them. I don't think that a body rotting in deep woods is something that people are likely to stumble...

    Ever Use Freecycle?

    I posted a wanted ad for a smoker, but I was turned away since I hadn't given anything away yet. Hmmm, where did the wife put that new purse?
