I got my smoker not to long ago, but haven't used it yet! It is a Brinkman, not sure of the model. But it has one side for grilling and the other side for smoking. The only thing I have done is grill on it.
In a few days I am having some friends over and I am wanting to start smoking on it but not quite sure how much wood to use and how long to cook the meat? I want to use Mesquite Wood and smoke some of those Angus Vidalia Hamburgers you can get at Walmart. My understanding is that the average temp is between 225 - 250, is this right? How much Mesquite Wood do I need to get and about how long do I need to smoke the Hamburgers for? Oh I will also be putting on Hot Dogs, because my Friends kids loves hot dogs!
I also read some where that you can use Mesquite chips and soak them in Water and Beer for about 45 minutes, then put them on top of the burning wood? When would I put those on and how good of taste wood it bring with the Beer soaked into them?
I appreciate any help and information that you all could give me!
Thank You
