    Whole Chicken

    IMHO chicken doesn't benefit from low and slow like other meats. Cook at 300 to 325, maybe even 350. Season as you like, like you say watch the salt, and cook to proper IT. Take care of you firefighter, from a volunteer from Missouri.

    Spare Ribs "5 and Up"

    MellerAM, I bought some ribs similiar to what you are describing a few years ago and the butcher told me when I bought them they were from older hogs, larger bones and stringier-tuffer meat. I bought them anyway, found them to not have the fat content of the smaller ribs. Cooked them 3-2-1...

    "Fireball" my makeshift smoker!

    Fine looking food there Jim and don't feel bad about using the grill to smoke with. Started that way myself in the early '80's. Just watch the wooden deck when using the grill on it, I'm a volunteer firefighter and we responded to a deck fire a couple months ago after the owner grilled some...

    BBQ Newbie here! Hello to all...

    Bman welcome to SMF. One thing to remember when building a smoker is to build it a little bigger than you think you need because when you start turning out good "Q" you will have more friend than you think and they will all be hungry.

    When to add and when not to??

    Smoknrookie, I run a homemade stickburner. I personally fire up with the wood I am using to cook with. Put several sticks in the firebox and let it get going good to heat up the smoker, and shut down the air vent to less than the setting that I normally use when smoking and watch my therm to see...

    Confused???

    This came from the link Surfaday posted. 1. One roll of aluminum flashing for the chimney. 2. One piece of unpainted, non-galvanized 22 to 16 gauge light steel for the baffle. 3. Pipe plug or metal cap to fill the thermometer hole. 4. If you don’t have one, you will need either a 3/4″ drill bit...

    Cherry Wood

    Wild cherry is about all I burn in my stickburner. Never heard of it being poisonous, and until someone shows me some good proof, I'll keep using it as we love the flavor it gives to our food.

    Lt. Smoker needs help

    Ltsmoker, I believe the folks have it nailed down with the smoke. When smoking the smoke should be barely visible, just light blue wisps of smoke coming from the vent. Look aroud the forum at some of the pics of TBS that folks have posted. Also in my case, I use cherry wood to smoke with...
