    question about smoking baby back ribs and a boneless shoulder butt

    Tough chicken skin

    SOunds really good AL.  Thanks for the replys.  SO you think that the skin gets too dry by cooking it at a lower temp?  The skin last smoke was definately not dry of moisture, how does the water make the skin tough?  I will try keeping it real dry next time.  ANy other pointers?  Thanks

    Tough chicken skin

    Well I have been smoking a ton on the 84 deluxe lately.  Ribs and shoulder are coming out fantastic.  The smoker is just so easy to use.  Burns about 10-15 splits of wood for about a 8 hour cook, pretty efficient for its size.  Anyway, I have been having trouble with my chicken.  I have been...

    Attn: All Lang owners and the rest of the SMF world!

    I've got an 84 deluxe.  Acutally just seasoned the thing today.  I have to say that this thing works like a charm.  Got it up to 425 in about 45 minutes and then settled in back down to 235-250.  Once its hot it stays hot.  From front to back it was only reading 5 degrees difference after the...

    Jerky smoker for deer processor

    Hey guys.  Got a question.  My buddy is in the deer processing business during the fall and he has a need to upgrade his small electric smoker to something larger. Most of his customers want jerky and his small smoker is not up to the task.  He had mentioned that he would like to find one that...

    Great Job!  That fish looks great.  I use about the same method for brining.  I am going to try the overnight in the fridge method though to form the pellicle.  Thanks for the pics!

    Goose Jerky

    Hey guys.  Just wondering if you could give me some pointers on what you cure or marinade your goose in.  We killed 33 geese in the last 2 days of the season.  Needless to say I have alot of meat.  I want to try to make some good jerky out of it.  Any pointers would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Meadow Creek smokers?

    They are sweet cookers.  I live about 1.5 hours away from them.  There are a tad on the high side as far as price but they are definately quality built.  Alot of their units are made specifically for charcoal, so I am sure that they would be efficient.  No direct experience with them though.
