    New smoker

    *chuckles* Sorry about that misunderstanding....AFTER I put my wood chunks in the plastic container...I take them out and THROW them in the fire box....well, actually it is more like an easy underhand lob (which as I've said I am new to this so I will probably find out this is entirely...

    New smoker

    I just started Gethent, but I selected the same smoker (recommended by friends). Kingsford markets a nice upright plastic container with a flip up lid made for holding charcoal that I have put my wood chunks in. Keeps it dry, but handy. I picked the container up at Lowes (they carry the smoker...

    OMG! *pulls himself up off of the floor and mops the drool off his chair....quickly scans all of the posts again....and again....* Ok, somebody please tell me because I obviously missed it....how long do I cook these things, what kind of smoke do I use, do I apply a mop, keep it at 225?

    Newbie from Palm Harbor, Florida

    Welcome! I am new here too, but for whatever it is worth I just recently bought the Chargriller at Lowes. It is an off-set and under $300. It is bigger than some of the others in the same price range and it came highly recommended from some friends who have use them "hard". Check them out on...

    Trying salmon first time, good eats?

    All this talk of salmon makes me home sick (from Oregon years ago)..gosh wish I had some fresh steelhead! So would this brine and rub work for trout too? And is it 4 to 6 hours of smoking at 225?

    New, but with help from some pros

    Thank you all for your warm welcome! There is a lot of good reading in these forums and I've been checking out the recipes. I know I'm starting late, but it seems I am in good company to accelerate the learning curve. As long as I learn something new each time I smoke that's fine with...

    May? Something happens around here in May? *grins wickedly* Why do you think it has driven me crazy NOT to have a smoker? That is the month here that every pig for several hundred miles is either on a smoker, about to be...or is in hiding.-Cloudmaker

    Okay, after obtaining approval from the Department of the Interior here's the recipe. We have always used boiled chicken, but I'm drooling to do it with bird from the smoker! *Add Olive Oil to hot pan *brown 2 cloves crushed/chopped garlic and 2 cups white rice *once browned, add twice as much...

    I have the same smoker we got from Lowes (Father's Day present). I think it's great...I have only used it twice, but some experienced friends say it is really good bang for the buck and holds heat well.

    New, but with help from some pros

    I have smoked pork shoulder and Boston butt on my Weber Genesis gas grill before, but through the encouragement of two friends who compete professionally on a BBQ team I have finally made the move to a charcoal smoker (Chargriller). My first effort was two racks of baby back ribs and my second...
