    Pecan chips in an offset smokebox

    I just had a 60 ft. pecan tree taken down in my front yard. Besides not needing wood for the rest of my life I have a 6 ft. mountain of chips. I was thinking the best way to utilize these would be to place them in an old wok or sauce pan and sit it on top of the hot charcoal. What do y'all think

    Smoked raisins?

    That plate looks delicious. Do you think it would be best to mop all my fruit with grapeseed oil. Which btw I heard is one of the best oils to fry in since it has a higher smoke point.

    Smoked raisins?

    i guess this advice follows along with your signature. yeah that makes sense. i was thinking the moisture in the grapes would help penetrate the flavor into the whole fruit.  raisins are more dense so i didnt think the flavor would penetrate much.  i've made raisins in the oven before. place on...

    Smoked raisins?

    Anyone ever smoke grapes to make smoked raisins? What other fruits are good to smoke. I like melons of all sorts so I guess it would be like making dried fruit. Apples?  The same as melons I guess. I'll get some of the amazin mat material and lay it out and just do a nice single layer of...

    Proper planning questions

    @Grits  i'll be using an amazin for the smoke production but i read on a bacon post that there should be some sort of heat to get the smoke flavor into the meat. @chef    ok. cool. yeah i'll be using pink salt. my question was more in response to what i had read as mentioned above.  my plan is...

    Bacon made the easy way...

    How do I incorporate a honey cure into this method?  I'm guessing after the 2 weeks I would rub it with honey and go for a week more in ziplocs?

    Proper planning questions

    Just perusing the bacon forums in anticipation of my end of year plans. I'm getting 4 whole bellies and cutting them into 4 pieces each. My first attempt at bacon was just curing a honey cure that we all loved. I'm getting an amazin smoker for Xmas though and plan on smoking all 16 pieces. I'm...

    Wow, thanx. I think mfalto has it nailed. My temp usually stays around 250. I will NEVER EVER soak my wood again. Here's a pic of my Thanksgiving smoke. Y'all can see the kind of smoke I'm talking about.

    Bradford pear and birch

    Awesome chart. I hadn't even thought about using the 2 HUGE pecan trees. Both the pear and birch are good. I've already downloaded some plans to build a smokehouse in the back. The better half just doesn't know it yet. I'll convince her by explaining how much money we'll be saving on firewood...
