Season's Greetings From Brisbane, Australia

[fumo]

Greetings one and all.

I'm new to Smoking, tried it in the BBQ a few times, liked and wanted more. Bought myself an Aldi Special made by Hark about a month ago. It's a Gas Smoker with 3 Shelves. On the first day, tried Turkey Drumsticks, Chicken Thigh Fillets and Lamb Shanks.  I brined the Drumsticks and a couple of the Chicken Thighs, marinated the rest of the Chicken and herb rubbed the Lamb Shanks. General consensus from the consumers was, TOO MUCH SMOKE ( I thought the Drumsticks were great), Shanks need longer. So now I'm here to learn some more.

Cheers

Fumo

Fumo,
Welcome, from southern Ohio, to the best forum on the internet if you are looking to learn how to BBQ/smoke/brine/cure/inject. Well you get the picture if you can do it to something you put on a plate to eat then someone here has probably done it then smoked it.

Use the search bar at the top of the page and you will be led to the answer to most every question you can think of. If you don't find the answer there then just post it and someone will chime in with their opinion on the subject.

What type of wood did you use for your smoke? Poultry IMHO requires a mild wood like apple or oak. Also was the smoke thin and blue not heavy and white, white smoke is not good and will leave a strong over smoked taste.

Always remember the only dumb question is the one you don’t ask!!
Keep Smokin!!!
