Smoked Spoonbill
Well, I had this giant fish to do something with and I personally don't like spoonbill. I had tried everything. I tried searching my favourite Smoking sites for some ideas and didn't find allot so here is what I did: Not a whole lot different than Salmon, I brined it for about 36 hours with a... -
Two Christmas birds went without a hitch!
First, I apologize for no pictures, it was a busy day. I smoked a couple of 13 lb turkeys on my UDS today and everything went perfect! Thank you all of you for all I have learned here. I learned patients, preparation and practice. I can't show you what it looked like, I really wanted some... -
First Spare Ribs and Large Pork Butt
Yummy, I LOVE spare ribs. This will be my first attempt! I will also be smoking my first full size "bone in" pork butt. Today I'll be using "Jeffs" rub again, not only because I love the stuff, but it's what I had ingredients on hand for. I rubbed the ribs and butt last night and let sit in the... -

Educational Smoke (my try at Chili fatties)
I learned a few things today when I smoked some fatties. I saw the recent thread on the chili fatties and wanted to try one. I learned that: Thicker chili works better. The one that split open was very tough to roll, wrap and put on the smoker, I rolled the other one first with a slotted...- rugsrme

Made some changes and I'm liking my UDS even more!
Well, I got the hinges attached to the drum for the lid, I love that, it was so nice to flip the lid with one hand and not have to set it down. I also got my charcoal basket out of the bowl I was using for ashes and put some 3" legs on it. That bowl was really messing with the way the coals...- rugsrme

Moose, Deer and 2 other fatties
Had I guy I work for gave me some deer burger and moose burger to try out in some fatties. I figured the bacon wrapped around them would make the meat moist and flavorful. They were OK, the moose was very dry, could have used more filling (onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and cheese) but it was... -
I need some help understanding temperature readings
Ok, I'm seasoning my new UDS, I have the dial thermometer mounted just under the upper rack. I also used a digital thermometer putting the probe through some holes on either side of the lid, the holes were from some sort of rack in the old uni-flame kettle grill. Any way, the temp seems to be...- rugsrme

Chicken, whole and parts
Well the results were "OK". These were some frozen chicken we had in the freezer and I needed to use it up so I decided to do some learning with them. I did whole chicken marinaded in the Mexican road side. The parts I brined over night just salt and brown sugar and used the snake bite rub... -
First try smoking Salmon
Just to get started, I bought some frozen salmon from Aldi's a small discount grocery store because it was relatively cheap and I didn't know what I was doing. I brined them 1 lb of fish per bowl with kosher salt and brown sugar for one hr. I let them dry attempting to form a pellicle but I... -

First time using a Charcoal Smoker, couldn't get the temp. past 150
Anyone familiar with the Grillpro 16' smoker or ECB's may be of some help to me. I couldn't get the temperature above 150. I used kingsford charcoal and mesquite wood chips, 2/3 coal. This unit was very inexpensive so I didn't expect miracles so... Is there a material I could use to tighten...- rugsrme
