    Creosote/proper smoke flavor

    Gosh when I think of all the beautiful meats I have totally screwed up it almost makes me cry. I recall some hens I "smoked".. that came out with that dark rubbery skin, discolored flesh, with an aroma of an ashtray. One bite and in the trash it went. I could have gotten that same "smoked"...

    First Charcoal smoker

    Creosote/proper smoke flavor

    Finally its great to hear from someone that knows how to "smoke".  I have seen far to many people pile the wood in the box and watch that billowing smoke from their chimneys and smile thinking THAT is smoking. Then when they get the food off it looks almost as dark as a meteorite. Like many I...
