Smoked Ham on the Cheap with Q-View
I thought it might be a good challenge to smoke a ham from the butcher. Of course, I didn't realize hams have to cured, etc. So, as an alternative, I bought a cheap grocery store ham and smoked that. I'm still working on my skills with smoking, so I'd say this came out "ok". I used...- corrib

First brisket and Pork Butt with Q-View
I spritzed with apple juice every hour after 100f. Does adding Jack or Captain Morgan to the apple juice make a difference? The temp got a little hotter towards the end, mabye 250-260. Is the brisket sensitive to temp spikes after 6-7 hours? Thanks for any thoughts. Maybe have to try... -

Brisket smoked with White Oak?
Just ordered a brisket for the weekend and had planned on smoking with hickory chucks. Of course, my local supplier is out. I do have a good supply of very dry white oak firewood and a bandsaw. Will white oak work to do a brisket or should I go with hickory chips? Thanks! -
Grapho-Glass and Food Safety
Picked up some stuff to work on my smoker and noticed the home center had the Grapho-Glass stove "ropes". I was going to pick some up, but in two places, the instructions say "keep away from food".

Starting on the process of modifying my offset Pitmaster smoker. It's been awhile since I've used and somehow all the grates are missing. I'll definitely use expanded metal for the firebox grate. Has anyone used it for the top grate in with the main chamber?- corrib
