    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...

    Sear this brisket or not? (photo attached)

    Doing some smoking this weekend. I've made a few briskets before but never with a sear. This brisket is about 6.5 pounds and has a nice layer (1/4" or better) of fat. Trying to decide whether to sear and would appreciate any thoughts.

    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". Does this just mean the food shouldn't touch the Grapho-Glass (no prob) or is the "rope" putting...

    Expanded Metal Grate?

    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?

    I'm looking for some recommendations on how to get started with smoking, specifically equipment. I have a Weber kettle style grill and also a grill/smoker similar to the one in the Smoking Meat logo above. I'm also considering purchasing an electric smoker instead. I've produced a few beer...
