    Just tried hardwood lump coal

    I've always used just lump charcoal, heard that binders used in briquettes could impart an undesirable taste in slow cooking. Use briquettes for grilling all the time, though. Wonder if anyone has tried using briquettes in a smoker. What's the opinion out there?

    See the World ... Smell the Smoke

    I see now that they may be a bit small. I can post larger if requested. But I forgot to say, notice my son's hat. Terps Rule!!! Thanks for giving me a reason to take pics of food, family thinks I've lost my mind.

    New member in Columbia, MD, question about smoke rings

    Thanks, gypseyagod, I think my inconsistent results are due to not enough smoke. I use lump charcoal with wood chunks but maybe I dont add wood often enough. Also stopped soaking the chunks because I think in my previous water smoker, the incomplete combustion was creating an occasional...

    Thanks to all for the warm welcome. I can see there is much to learn from you all. I appreciate the reference to the smoke ring article. So humidity is a key! I'll try it this weekend with a turkey breast and maybe spare ribs.

    1st Brisket tomorrow

    Searing brisket before smoking. I assume there's no rub? I always sear roasts before oven roasting but I've not seen it in recipes for BBQ. Let us see how it turns out, Meowey.

    What are guidelines for posting pics? Is there a file size or resolution that works best? Will probably do some Q this weekend, wife LOVES my turkey breast !

    New member in Columbia, MD, question about smoke rings

    I can try this weekend, MSmith, I'm away for a few days. It's basically a backyard version of a full-sized smoker, too small to take just wood, hence the charcoal. I probably can't do better than the pic on their website, at http://www.bbqgalore.com/store/view_...bbq?img_id=195. Nice unit...

    New member in Columbia, MD, question about smoke rings

    Greetings! Just found this site and posted a question about smoking a sirloin tip. I've only a few years of experience, starting with a water smoker and graduating to a small Barbeque Galore model with a firebox. I generally use lump charcoal with a few wood chunks thrown in. Sometimes I...

    5# sirloin tip roast

    Hello to all. Just found this site and thread. My sister tells me she has a 9-lb sirloin tip and we were wondering if this would work in my smoker ( a BBQ-Galore model with a firebox, not a water smoker). I figured a brisket rub might work but was wondering if a marinade is a better idea...
