    why brine and other questions

    Thanks for the explanations, Richtee, and the advice from everybody else. I'm not so good at carefully following a recipe or technique--always trying to throw some modification in there. Doesn't work so well if I don't know why the recipe tells me to do something. so my new thought is: I've...

    why brine and other questions

    another smoker in Washington state

    I've been reading the forum for the last month or so and decided to join up so I could join in. There's so much great information and experience here, in addition to a friendly atmosphere. I'm new to smoking. Just got my WSM in mid June and have done three cooks with it. Woulda done more, but...
