Hello all! Started smoking meat on a Brinkman Charcoal Smoker back in 1988. Went from charcoal to electric and then gas while working in Iraq as a contractor.

Now looking forward to getting youth football season and hunting season over with here so I can get started building a Reverse Flow Smoker out of two tanks I have acquired, a 1000 and a 500 gallon LP tank so that I can get experience stick burning. Don't know as of yet but I may just cut the larger one in half and build two out of it. The reason for multiple builds is to donate one to the to the Booster's Club to use as a fundraising tool. I mean who can resist buying a fresh pulled pork sandwich at a football game when you walk through the gate and smell the smoke?

My question is to each of what is your favorite way to smoke your meats;

Dry Rub and Smoke

Dry Rub, Wet Mop and Smoke

Dry Rub, Wet Mop, Foil and Smoke
Dry Rub, Moisture Pan and Smoke

Dry Rub, Wet Mop, Moisture Pan and Smoke
Dry Rub, Wet Mop, Moisture Pan, Foil and Smoke

And if you use a Moisture Pan what do you use in it? I currently use 1/3 Apple Cider Vinegar and 2/3 mix of Apple and Citrus Juices. I look forward to hearing your responses.

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "SMF User Guidelines" .....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per TulsaJeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!

Welcome to the forums!  Glad you've joined our group.  You'll find there are lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks here who genuinely enjoy helping one another.  Looking forward to your input, and just ask when you need anything...someone here will surely have the answer.

As far as my favorite method...I guess I'm all over the place cuz it depends on the mood I'm in.  I always dry rub, but sometimes I mop and sometimes not...sometimes I foil and sometimes not...I used to use a water pan sometimes, but don't any more.
