    Woods For Smoking

    Smokey Bruin, I have 3 fig trees that have to be pruned every year and I keep the trimmings for the smoker. IMO the flavor is not as good as I expected it to be, kind of bland. I would much rather use apple, maple, cherry or hickory. I also cut down my Bradford pear tree a couple of years ago...

    Having Challenges with Skin

    That sounds interesting JJ. If you do this are you still able to easily separate the skin from the meat to apply rub under the skin? I don't really want to say the skin on my birds is rubbery, just not crispy. Mine was low and slow 250 Deg,  Was it a mistake to foil the bird during the last 5...

    New build of a 125 gallon Offset RF Smoker.

    Hey Len, Thanks for the explanation, I thought gas just stunk because of the natural sulfurs, I had no idea you had to add anything to it to make it that way. So when did you leave old Chuck town? I am actually a transplant from New York, the Navy brought me here and I couldn't leave. I...

    First brisket bust

     Sorry to hear about your bad luck Gator. Are you sure about the accuracy of your grill thermometer? It seems as though 11 hours should have been plenty of time for an 8 lb. piece of beef to not be still raw. Should take about 1 - 1 1/2 hr per lb. The final internal meat temp for brisket needs...

    Best Beginner Charcoal Smoker

    Hey Jay, Welcome To SMF. I am In Agreement With Jpayer I Still Have My EL Cheapo Brinkman Vertical Smoker And It Is Almost 30 Years Old Now. The Only Mod I Suggest Is Get A Heavy Duty Grate that Fits On The Supplied Charcoal Pan To Allow It To Breath. Of Course I Would Like To have A WSM, they...

    Adding Charcoal while a smoke is in process.

    Thanks for the input FWI.    I do tend to add probably too much at a time and I agree with the dark bark being ALL GOOD. I have tried the minion method and it works very well with my UDS but not so good with my horizontal offset, it just seems like it is a real fuel hog but when I do larger...

    Adding Charcoal while a smoke is in process.

    Best to add lit or unlit charcoal to the smoker; That is the question... The Hijacked picture below was posted by Todd J on a thread about the MES; but I agree it is also one of my favorite pics explaining how you want your smoke to look. However the grill on the left is how my smoker looks...

    Disappointed with amount of smoke; bought a master built electric 40" added updated part sent by mas

    Delie,    Good Luck with that!! Bring your checkbook. Every smoker that I ever had, had to be modified one way or another. I don't have an electric or gas smoker but I do use the AMNPS for cold smoking cheese and fish. I am really thinking about the MES though as the years pile on, tired of...

    First time smoking a turkey

    Ikrus instructions sound great to me. I also like to use about a cup of cider vinegar in my brine, and when you put the rub on the bird try to seperate some of the skin from the meat and get some rub inside the skin where you can like the breast and thighs. Celery sticks and an onion in the...

    Hints for first smoked chicken

    BigR Check out this link for the mods to your horizontal offset. I know you have the chargriller and not the Brinkman SnP but the use of the baffle and tuning plates will help you with even temps and I found that elevating the charcoal grate helped me get my temps up. Good Luck and happy...

    New to the Brinkman SnP

    Thanks for the welcome Guys.     Piaconis, I like the flap that is on the bottom of the firebox on the pitmaster pictured in your post. Was that there on the original grill, Or is that a mod you did? Ash removal is almost impossible on my smoker and I am going to have to do something to mine to...
