    Pork belly burnt ends

    Did you smoke the belly whole, then cut it up before the rendering step, or cut it up beforehand?

    First hot smoke salmon and Q-view

    Do you freeze them? What method do you use to reheat them when you want to eat them, or do you eat them cold? I just made some and am in heaven, but I don't want to eat it all at once. Jim

    Jeff's QUE Sauce Recipe

    Got an email from Jeff today - it didn't automatically send me a link for some reason, or it got blocked somewhere along the way. Anyhow, I'm working on it now, finding the same as some of you that it takes a while to cook the ketchup taste out of it. How long do most of you let it simmer...

    Identifying good smoking wood.

    I actually went into the store I mentioned above, and asked them why it might have been on a list of woods not to use for smoking, and they said the flavor it gives is REALLY strong and that you only want to use a little bit of it along with a weaker wood. I picked up 3.5 pounds of pecan chunks...

    Identifying good smoking wood.

    Why is Sassafras in the list of woods not to use for smoking? I was looking at the website of a local bbq supply store that's got some accolades for their bbq, and they sell it. Jim

    Electric Smoker Modifications

    I was pursuing this issue the other day, looking at Home Depot for something to use to regulate the voltage, rather than to turn it on and off. I looked at the light dimmers, but the highest-rated one I could find was only 600W, and that's not gonna work. I talked to an electrician friend of...

    Need a vent?

    Cool. Hey, for your problem with having formatted, look into a program called Active File Recovery. I haven't used it myself, but someone I worked with was able to recover his entire library of pictures and mp3 files on a hard drive he formatted by mistake.

    Need a vent?

    Ok, if you didn't read my Roll Call thread (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=17934), I have my father's smoker, which was a charcoal smoker that he converted into an electric smoker. I've got the rust all cleaned out of the inside of it, and plugged it in this afternoon to see...

    Smoked Turkey Breast with 1 qview

    That's cool. The time is more of what I was after - weight just because I couldn't tell by looking at it, and want to gauge how long I need to plan for it. Jim

    Smoked Turkey Breast with 1 qview

    How many pounds was it and how long did you smoke it? I'm looking for a first-time project, and am thinking about doing a turkey breast. Jim

    With all the rust in this thing, I went and bought a wire wheel and am using my drill to clean it all out. After I've removed all the rust, should I spray on some high-heat resistant paint (Rustoleum makes some that withstands heat up to like 1500 degrees)? I'm planning on spraying it on the...

    Electric Smoker Modifications

    Has anyone tried using a dimmer-type control? You'd be able to provide constant heat, while keeping the temperature from getting too high. The only con is that you'd have to monitor the temperature and adjust as needed, but once you've got it tweaked, it should work. Once I get my smoker...

    Ok, so after further discussions with my dad, he has clarified that the water pan goes on the tabs that hold the bottom grate, but under the grate, which makes more sense to me. He also said that the smoker was originally a charcoal smoker, which he converted to electric. Here's the zinger -...

    If the stand wasn't there, the water pan would be sitting right on top of the heating element. My dad said the pan goes on the bottom rack and the wood pieces go on the stand, but that seems like an awful large gap between the heat and the water pan. The temp gauge just says low, good, and...

    I'm new to smoking - actually, never done it before, but I've just borrowed my father's smoker - an electric Brinkmann Smoke'n'Grill. I've attached pictures in the hopes someone might be able to clarify some things about it. It's an old smoker - before they started putting the doors on them to...
