HELP, SMOKER IS TOO HOT
I think this might be the problem because the water isn't really boiling which I would think it would since it's so hot. Maybe the thermometer is just off. Thanks. -
HELP, SMOKER IS TOO HOT
This is actually my first time using this smoker, normally I use a charcoal smoker. -
HELP, SMOKER IS TOO HOT
The water pan actually has a decent amount of water in it, which is another reason I'm confused. But I think I'll add some more, thanks for the input. -
HELP, SMOKER IS TOO HOT
Hi, I'm using a grill pro vertical propane smoker and I have the gas set on the lowest setting but the temperature won't go under 325. I'm making a brisket but I can't get it to 225. I've tried adjusting the vents but I can't get it down. Somebody please help. Thanks. -
Smoking a brisket in the winter
Thanks for the advice guys. I'm doing the smoke now and the temperature is actually staying too high. I'm keeping the vents open to let some heat out, but it's also causing the wood chips to catch fire which is raising the temperature again. If I close it to stop the fire, won't the temperature... -
Smoking a brisket in the winter
I have a really cheap smoker, I can't remember the name now but it's a vertical charcoal smoker. Its definitely not very solid but it worked fine in the summer. So I guess the time factor is the biggest deal then? -
Smoking a brisket in the winter
Hey everyone. So, I'm still pretty new to smoking in general and so far I've only done it in the summer. I'm planning on smoking a brisket tomorrow and now the temperature outside is around -5 to -15 celsius and I'm just wondering how that'll affect smoking time or anything else with the... -
Need some ideas!
Hey everyone, I've just started smoking and so far I've made a brisket and a whle chicken. The brisket was great but I really didn't like the chicken very much and I think it may be because I used hickory wood chips, which I've heard can be kinda strong for chicken. Anyhow, I'm planning on... -

Need help smoking my first brisket!
It turned out great! But the smoke didn't go exactly the way I wanted it to. I couldn't regulate the temperature properly, but I've used it a couple of times since then and I think I got it down now. Anyway, the meat tasted really great and was pretty tender. But since I had problems with... -

Tips for smoking a whole chicken?
If I were to do it in an oven, what temperature would be good enough to crisp it? Also, how long does a whole chicken typically take on the smoker if its set at 275-300? -
Tips for smoking a whole chicken?
I'm not really sure how high I can get the temperature of my smoker, but I'll try to get it to 300 and see if that crisps the skin. I've been hearing that once the chicken is smoked you can't crisp the skin anymore, so it needs to be done before smoking....is that true? -
Tips for smoking a whole chicken?
Hey everyone, So I'm about to smoke a whole chicken for the first time and I was wondering if anybody has some advice for anything that I should watch out for. I've heard that the skin doesn't come out well at all after smoking the bird, but I've also heard of people putting it on a grill for a... -
Just used a smoker for the first time and made a brisket........
Hey, thanks for the advice. Wrapping the wood in foil sounds like a good idea for next time. I really want to start using chunks instead of chips so that I won't have to keep checking on the smoker. I really am having a problem finding chunks at local places but I'll keep trying. And yeah... -
Just used a smoker for the first time and made a brisket........
People were telling me to start off with something easier but I really wanted to try a brisket, since that was the main reason I bought a smoker. I'm using a cheap meco vertical charcoal-water smoker and the water tray is really close to the charcoal tray, but that's where they put it on this... -
Veal brisket?
Hey, just wondering if anyone has had any experience smoking a veal brisket? Or if anybody knows anything about it and how it's different from smoking a beef brisket? -
Just used a smoker for the first time and made a brisket........
Hey everyone, So I finally got everything together for my smoker and smoked a brisket on Saturday. Things didn't really go as planned, but in the end the meat tasted great! Since I ran into some trouble I ended up having to do the last 40 degrees wrapped in foil in the oven, but it was still...
