    Can I ....Should I...Would you???

    Did some chicken thighs in an apple water brine then apple juice in smoker....oh yeah!!  So now my curious mind is thinking...how about orange juice?  Is that to acidic or would that throw a nice flavor into the chicken. What other flavors have been used with success?

    Aluminum pie pan

    Have been using the iron smoke pan in my Brinkman but am not satisfied with the amount of smoke it produces with this limited amount of chips. Been thinking of using a 9" aluminum pie pan,,,any thoughts on this? Usually soak the chips for several hours prior to putting them over the fire and...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

     "82" was the jurisdiction number and the "1" was my badge number, topcop was the job title for the Chief.. and it ended up "topcop821" and that ended 34 years of LEO duty. Could have gone with CSM RET also but choose to stay civilian for a time.

    Jack Daniels sauce Ahhhh $$$$$

    Checked with the local liquor guy...best substitute for Jack would be Evan Williams at $29 for the LARGE jug. Said there is very little difference in taste and has been recommended for BBQ sauce by customers.

    Jack Daniels sauce Ahhhh $$$$$

    Only problem is::::I like Jack or course Jim might work as well.....oofta...$42 bucks. Not bad if you treat it as sippin whiskey not just your run of the mill rusty water. By the way Aeroforce100, I've heard it said a Cav Scout is never lost, just on a recon!! To all Veterans, past - present...

    And the rest of the story is:

    O.K.,,,ribs are all done on Jeff's formula, lookin good  BUT...I don't want to serve them at this time. Perplexed with which way to jump. Just wrap em up, freeze em for later   OR   prepare with sauce druing the final phase and then wrap them up for the freezer? Who has tried what and what...

    Wood box size

    Thats where I thought this might go so I guess it's just move it,,,move it!! I'm using the Great Smoky Mt gas unit, which I really like. Biggest thing to learn is how to get that temp where I want it. Actually, the problem is I just have to be more patient. Fire it up and let it alone for...

    Wood box size

    Did up some chickens yesterday and had a random thought (gets more random with age :):) That ""little"" box that holds the wood chips is just to small. If I super size it to an 8"x11" pan would that make any difference to the smoking results?  Can there be to MUCH smoke being put out. I know...
