New Smoker
Of note, wanted to post that in the CampChef XXL Pellet smoker, I was able to easily cold smoke using an AMNPS for 3-4 hours...cold smoked some salmon (lox). I did open the bottom ash drawer/clearing hole and leave open for a good draft and absolutely no issues...good smoke taste on the lox...- DocShadownix

What's a good red wine for cooking?
The same paragraph could go in any food or drink article. We do the same with food we smoke... oh the smoke ring... oh this oh that. Same with beer... the outside of the can affects sales just as much as the taste (or more). That doesn't inherently make beer snake oil. Presentation is...- DocShadownix

What's a good red wine for cooking?
Actually that is not true... it will enhance good wine; you are right that it isn't gonna make crappy wine great...(e.g. boon's etc.). Decanting wine is based on science. The above device does part (aeration), but not all of what is needed to happen to the wine to enhance flavor...- DocShadownix

What's a good red wine for cooking?
I cannot stress enough...as others have said...don't cook with wine you won't drink. I have a nice wine cellar (~700 bottles) and use wine from that. Often , I seal mine wine (10 dollar system, nothing fancy - wine lasts 3-5 days with vacuum) and use wine that I opened a few days prior. Why...- DocShadownix

New Smoker
So, I have been smoking for over 20 years, just on a Bradley prior...lots of ribs, fish (I used to goto AK every year when I lived in the Seattle area... smoked like 25-50 pounds every trip...), etc. I just got a pellet grill, so getting more adventurous! I have done chicken before, and LOTS...- DocShadownix

Kamado Fuel Question
This is the website to use... I have bought some custom stuff from Amazon based on reviews and they seem spot on. The Jealous Devil Lump Charcoal is amazing. http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lump.htm- DocShadownix
