    turkey breast

    Basic stuff here. I haven't smoked a turkey breast yet but I am going to give it a try this week. This will be a simple smoke. I am probably not going to inject or brine. I have read that some have smoked turkey breast without brining with good results. I am using an 18 inch WSM with pitmaster...

    thermometer

    I have 18 inch WSM and use it occasionally. I look at the lid mounted thermometer and also a Thermopro probe to monitor the temp. I use a Pitmaster IQ to control the temp. As would be expected there is a difference between the two indicators. Now my questions. What is the most accurate lid...

    Lump vs briquet

    I don't smoke a lot so I am not a savvy as a lot of people here. I usually use briquettes. I did a small brisket a couple of days ago and tried lump charcoal. I used briquettes to start the lump for the cook. I had a real problem with getting the temp to stabilize. I wanted to cook at 225 and...

    Corned beef brisket

    Wife picked up small corned beef brisket today and I am going to smoke it. Do I need to do anything different than if doing a regular brisket?

    basic question

    I made jerky a few years ago but would like a little help because I have a different smoker now. I have a WSM 18. What is the best temp to make the jerky and how long? Water pan or sand for a heat sink? Quarter inch strips? I don't marinate because I just like the smoke flavor. I have used...

    beef& butt

    I just ordered a remote monitoring unit with four probes so I should be able keep an eye on things. I will probably wait until the butt is about 190 and put the roast on. Thanks for all the responses, Pete

    beef& butt

    I have an instant read thermometer. I just didn't want to take the lid off until necessary. Not sure how doing two meats will affect the time. I just ordered a remote probe so I should be fine. I hadn't bought a remote unit earlier because I couldn't find what I wanted. I hope it woks out ok.

    Smoker cabinet

    I posted a while back about plans for a smoker cabinet. I couldn't find any plans or ideas so I made my own. I started from scratch and sorta let it develop. I now have storage for my equipment all in one place. Will try it out today. Might have to make some alterations.

    charcoal storage

    My cabinet should be weatherproof and,of course, will be outside. I would like to keep to keep the charcoal from getting damp. Like most of you I just keep mine in the bag in the shop now. Just trying to get everything in one place and portable. Thanks for the help, Pete

    heat sink

    For my last smoke I used sand instead of water in the water pan. (WSM 18") I noticed that the butt was a little dryer than usual. It was raining so I didn't wrap the butt. I have read that a lot of folk use sand instead of water so what went wrong?

    charcoal storage

    I am building a cabinet for my SM 18" smoker to keep all of my equipment together. What do you guys use to store your charcoal? I have looked at the Kingsford storage bin and was wondering if any of you have used it. I don't smoke real often but I like to buy charcoal in the twin packages to...

    2 butts

    I have not been on for a while. I really haven't had the opportunity to do much smoking in while. I am going to smoke a couple of butts for a reunion and I was wondering about the cook times. I am using a SM18 with two racks. I was thinking that if I cook one but on each rack the cook time...

    Brisket

    I am new to the forum so excuse me if I am asking a question that has been answered before. I want to smoke a brisket this weekend but the only one I can find locally is a select grade. Has anyone smoked this grade of brisket and what results have you had? It has been a while since I did a...
