Have you been smoking a lot? Or is this a new hobby?

Whats your "go-to" meat?

What kind of smoker do you have?
 
Not new to smoking

I've Done Chicken, Turkey, Ribs, Pork Roasts, Peppers, but probably best at chicken.

I have a;

Smokey Mountain Vertical Propane

New Braunfels Offset

and just acquired a Oklahoma Joes Longhorn Offset Smoker that I am turning into a project of sorts.

Thanks
 
Putting the Longhorn (with a  few mods) on a cart with the Braunfels smoker (turned into a conventional grill). I will post up pic's when it's done.
 
Just saw this, I didn't smoke anything this weekend, too busy with a project. Did you serve up anything tasty?
 
I smoked a chuck roast last weekend, didn't like it. We are too used to the crockpot kind!

So, I pulled it and mixed in Sauce and spice and it turned out great as sanwiches.
 
I used to smoke ton's of fish, haven't done any smoking for a long time, I miss doing it.

I have three smokers that need some work done on them. I guess I'll have to get busy

and tackle some of these projects.

Keep up the good work guy's, enjoy reading your post's.

Today Ive got a rack of babybacks (Not my best choice for ribs - prefer the spares) and a tritip.

Im experimenting with the rubs to see which flavors I like. Im set on the pork rub - home recipe which was given to me by a friend and I have to say its the BEST! with this Tennessee rub, you only put it on after cooking. The ribs are marinated in Vinegar overnight. AMAZING!

The tri tip, I used to do only texas style - pepper / salt. Then I added garlic, then some heat. So, I bought some montral steak seasoning which I really like and experimenting with the amount (Theres too much salt in there) and then trying to take out flavor profiles - I have no idea what that means other than trying to add one more flavor to my base rub.

6 hrs for each The ribs are 3-2-1 method. I have the Amaze-n smoker going STRONG !!  Ilove that thing - if you don't have one - you should look into it
 
Tips -

Dry your pellets. I put mine in the smoker while its warming up. Then I light it, get it going for a minute, blow it out and put back in smoker. I get 2 hrs per "lane" on the AMPNS. The chips that come from AMPNS are good to use - good flavor, a little harder to light. But experimenting with different brands is part of the fun.
