    Blackened Chicken with Q-View

    So I smoked a brisket, pork butt, some bacon, and a chicken and they all turned out pretty black but the chicken was the worst. I did a ham for Easter and it was also pretty black and I just thought...well...its a smoker. After further recollection, I think the black is coming from the maple...

    How long ham can sit in foil?

    I smoked an 11lb ham shank today (bone in) and finished about 2 hours ago. I wrapped it in a bunch of foil and towels and put it in the cooler. I plan on taking it home to easter dinner tomorrow and reheating it in the oven starting at about 10:30am CST (14 hours from now) for lunch about...

    What kind of beef to use?

    I thought I'd find this here in the handful of posts, but after reading them I don't think it's really been mentioned. My guess is cause it doesn't really matter but I don't want to get something terrible and waste all the money on wasted jerky that's super tough. So, I want to make some beef...

    Oak or Maple?

    I picked up this wood from someone last night and she claimed it was oak but I think it's maple...cause the bark looks the same as the grain on several other maples I've picked up. Can anyone tell which is which from just the wood without leaves? I don't know what an Oak would really look...

    English or Irish Bacon

    I'm looking to make some English or Irish bacon. I was there a few years ago and the bacon was great flavor with out all the excess fat of th delicious American bacon. I'd like to take a crack at making some but I can't seem to get a good answer on what kind of meat it is. I read around the...

    Smoked Salmon Question

    I'm having some friends over this weekend for a Lenten fish fest. One of the items on the menu is going to be smoked salmon. There's someone near my city who's giving away a cut up cedar tree and I'm wondering what kind of smoke flavor it imparts on fish or anything really. I always see those...

    Smoking halibut for a vegetarian

    I'm having some people over and one of them is a vegetarian. After looking around for some veggie recipes nothing really seems to go with the BBQ atmosphere. So I decided to just smoke some fish for her and I have some halibut in my freezer. Anyone ever smoked Halibut or have any seasoning ideas...

    Riblet smoke question

    I smoked some riblets this weekend and they ended up real tough. I was at 250-275 most of the time and I probably smoked them for about 4-5 hours. Being small I figured they would cook rather quickly and 5 hours would be more than enough time to make'em just fall apart. I smoked them unwrapped...

    What's the cheapest you've seen for Spareribs?

    I was reading the post about turning spare ribs into St. Louis ribs and made me want to try that ASAP as Iâ€8482m sure my ribs would be a hell of a lot better and easier to cook that way. So my question is, what is the cheapest price youâ€8482ve ever seen for ribs? They are on sale now for...

    Area for Improvement on my boston butt smoke

    Saturday I smoked a 5# butt and it turned out ok, I don't think I used enough smoke cause there really wasn't much smoke flavor in the meat. I went through a 10# bag of Royal Oak lump charcoal (which seams a little ridiculous) and about half of an 8.4# bag of Hickory. I don't know if the...

    Stupid Question from a Newb

    I have a pretty stupid question that I just can't find an answer to and don't know any smokers to ask. I live in Nebraska, and have only smoked once. I have an offset smoker, Charbroil brand I think, with a side fire box and something ridiculous like 728"sq of smoking space. My first smoking...
