I just mix all my stuff and make sure the salt and sugar are dissolved. I did heat it to a simmer one time, let it cool then added the meat. I didn't notice any difference. If you do, make sure it is cool before adding meat, then refrigerator, or ice in a cooler.

Ever do a double smoked ham? Very simple, buy a smoked ham at grocery, coat it with mustard and rub, add some wood for smoke, and smoke it at 225*-250*.  Your just slowly heating it back up to about 165* internal temperature with smoke added. I just did my 2nd one Thanksgiving and it was...

Many members here can give you an idea how long each item will take but always go by internal temperature to be sure it is done. What items are you smoking together?  

Thanks for the heads up.  

Looks very good, so does the crown in the background

It looks good. I have never tried it yet. Been here in Naples for about 7 years. My friend cast nets them and sells them every year. They have an Everglades Festival down here each year where smoked Mullet is the big thing. I heard it has a strong fish taste?  

Looks good. I have never seen a Tri Tip in the grocery here. Do they have another name for it?  

It was a little tight rolling it lol. Thanks all, it was pretty good.
