    16# Bird & 12# Ham in an Electric Smoke Hollow

    Well friends it's been awhile since I've posted on here. In that time I've handed off my dual ECB smokers and replaced them with a deal I couldn't refuse on an electric Smoke Hollow.  As we speak I've got Wicked Baked Beans almost done for tomorrow. That's so I could fit both my 16# turkey and...

    Pork Butts for Celebrate Recovery Today!

    Our Celebrate Recovery group celebrates 2 years today at our church and they wanted BBQ. Instead of forking over dough to some retail outlet, I told them I'd smoke it. Went to Sam's and picked up a twin pack weighing 19#. Rubbed em down and wrapped em in plastic wrap on Wednesday night and took...

    Smoking An 18# Turkey

    I'm wondering if I really have to spatch-cock my turkey. I will be using lump charcoal and soaked wood chunks combination. I started brining yesterday in a spare refrigerator I have in the garage. I know to let it come to room temp before I smoke and to get the smoker good and hot first. I have...

    Advantages to a Different Smoker?

    Well, I saw what I thought was a deal today on a used Brinkmann on Craigslist. I've been using my dual-stack modified ECB's for a number of years now. I'm hoping that while I lost a little smoking space, I'm hoping that I'm gaining efficiency. It look like there's very minimal oxidation and...

    Smoked Rainbows

    The wife and I just came home from the lake with 8 Rainbow Trout that are 12" -15". At that size is it better to brine or not brine and if the answer is to brine, any suggestions? Thanks!

    Thanksgiving Do-Over!!! With Q-View!

    Well, some of you may remember yesterday I had to toss (2) 13# turkeys since the brine stayed too warm too long. So Thanksgiving morning I went and bought two more turkeys and thawed them in the tub. By evening they were thawed and ready to brine. The brine I simmered briefly and then cooled by...

    Nee Some Turkey Advice!

    I'm frying a bird and smoking one for the mothers at our church tomorrow. When those festivities are over, I've got a couple of nice Tri-Tips resting with my own rub on them that I'm going to throw on the smoker later. Here's my question though. How does cutting a turkey in half change my brine...

    Expanding My ECB (revised)

    I've owned my first ECB since back in 2000. Never smoked in it. Two years ago, on the 4th of July, I was BBQing at my sister's house in town and less than 1/2 hour after I took the meat off the grill someone came and stole it. Hot charcoal and all. Needless to say I had to have another. So I...
