    Brisket for Two: First Brisket Questions

    I have been smoking for several years, but have never tried a brisket. I have been wanting to for years so yesterday I bought an 11.5lb Prime packer. This site has enough information for me to figure out how to smoke a brisket on my WSM. I'm not to worried about that. My problem is that the...

    Can I speed up Boneless Pork Butt

    I bought an 8.5lb boneless pork butt. I don't usually buy boneless but the price and look of the meat made it worth a try. It is just my wife and I and we're pretty busy so I was thinking of cutting it in half and smoking half tomorrow. Would this cut the smoking time? I was hoping for 7 or less...

    Still Lurking, Still Smoking.

    I have not posted any of my smokes for quite some time but I still lurk here and am still absorbing information. I figure I owe you a Q-view though since I owe this one to what I've learned here. Thanksgiving weekend I smoked one Canadian Bacon, some Hocks, and my attempt at Kassler...

    CB First Timer and AMNPS First Timer

    I have to say after reading a ton on Canadian bacon here I was mostly confused. As far as I can tell there are a few variations on curing and also smoking. I pieced together what I thought would work and did it up. Please check it out and help me dial it in. I used Pops cure recipe and a ~2lb...

    A-MAZE-N Products for my WSM

    I have read so much about these A-maze-n products on here and have yet to find a bad word about them. Therefore I'm interested. The problem is I don't understand the product so I have a few questions. All the threads I find seem to be product reviews and comparisons but not explaining how to use...

    Dried Mangos

    I brought a bunch of dried mangoes back from the Philippines. I was wondering if I could use these to make a sauce or something. Any ideas? There was sugar and a preservative added to these.

    Beef Loin Roast

    I did this a few weeks ago and it went really well. I can handle Pork, chicken, and fish very well but I always struggle with beef. maybe because it costs more and I get nervous, I'm not sure! I read through Smokin' Al's Loin thread and decided to follow it using a 4 lb loin. I was not planning...

    Saturday: First Smoke of the New Year!

    I hope this is posted in the right place it's kind of a mish-mash smoke. I smoked a turkey on New Years eve in my new WSM and my wife has been chirping about wanting me to try more this weekend. What a woman! We talked about doing a small pork loin we have in the freezer. Then we start digging...

    Equiptment advice please

    I currently have a Cook n Cajun that is a few years old and has a rotting water pan. I have had fun and learned a lot over the past few years. Now I'm getting frustrated. I cannot control the temperature very well at all. I'm thinking about getting something else. I don't mind building or...

    Can I salvage my Salmon?

    I followed Bear carvers recipe to a T except that I struggle to control the temp of my smoker. I tried my best but it went way up over 100 degrees. It has only been an hour and 15 minutes and the meat is 140! I quickly switched from hickory to apple wood chips and decided to allow it to go up to...

I was planning to put them in the smoker but a dangerous street gang broke into my house and stole one of them. The Liars Wife...

    My turn to try one too!

    I've been reading some of these fatty posts for a while now and I have to admit I was skeptical. I was concerned it would taste like a big overwhelming pile of grease but all the rave reviews convinced me that I had to try one for myself. I did it today. My wife had even more concern than me and...

    Fresh Herbs and citrus zest

    I was wondering if any of you have tried a rub that uses fresh herbs or citrus zest? I have an herb garden and I roasted a turkey breast on my Weber using fresh sage and lemon zest. I have used that recipe over and over again and would like to try something new. Any recipes or ideas would be...

    Monday Night Dinner

    I'm off tomorrow so I'll be making everything except the salad. To start I'll be tossing a Butt  on the smoker. While the final goal is pulled pork the whole thing has a German influence. I married one and a friend is visiting. Two German women in the house? My fate is sealed! Growing up they...
