    Nuts -- how to?

    You need to coat the nuts in a couple of tbls of olive oil to "catch" the smoke.  I like to add salt, cayenne and maybe a few shots of your favorite hot sauce...  If you don't like it hot just some oil.  Grind your salt in a herb grinder to make it real fine, then sprinkle it on, mmmmmm good.

    I just got this huge smoker and need some help.

    Get a grate in the firebox and try some dry wood until you get a handle and some consistency in the smoker.  Probably need to do a few longer smokes, without any meat, just to get consistent temps on a full fire box burn.  If you can control your temps +/- 15 - 20F you are in the ball park.  You...

    Trager owners - have you cold smoked?

    I would'nt give up on your Tragers just yet...  I also have a pellet fired smoker, a FEC100, I can probably maintain 140F but that's not low enough for cheese.  I'd also like some cheese for appetizers when I'm doing a larger backyard BBQ, sooo....  I came up with this idea of re-purposing the...
