    Brining without Cure

    I would normally add a lot more spice and flavour when I brine meat, but some of the missus' family are very picky eaters and not very open minded when it comes to trying new things.  In other words if it's a turkey, they want it to taste like turkey and nothing else.  I would normally add...

    Brining without Cure

    Hi all.  I have just put my Christmas turkey into a very basic brine, and the plan is to let it sit 'til Christmas Day then cook it.  I normally use Pops' brine recipe when I cook in my smoker but this turkey will be cooked in the oven.  Now that I'm a few hours into the brining process I've...

    Brining Frozen Turkey

    Hi all, I am going to be cooking a turkey I was given on Christmas Day, and given that it's frozen I wanted to know if you can still brine a turkey that's been frozen (once it's defrosted of course).  Any opinons would be much appreciated. cheers Pete

    New here, and new to smoking..

    How long to smoke meat comes down to personal preference.  Only you can decide what's the right amount of smoke flavour for your taste, so trial and error is the name of the game in my experience. Other, more experienced people than me can probably offer more insight into how long to smoke with...

    Best way to add thermometer?

    On the topic of thermometers, anyone have any recommendations for the best thermometer for a sfb smoker?  Have taken a look at the Tel-Tru website but with so many to choose from it's hard to get an idea of what's the best model/stem length etc.
